About AmaCleo
AmaCleo is an announced AmaWaterways Nile river ship designed for intimate Egypt voyages. The 82-guest vessel is planned with 41 staterooms, locally inspired décor, an onboard Egyptologist, regionally influenced dining, and a Sun Deck pool. Accommodation choices include French-balcony rooms and larger suites, while the compact layout is intended to provide a quieter, more personal alternative to larger European river ships. As of September 9, 2026, AmaCleo should be treated as pre-delivery rather than an operating vessel.
