The company is owned by APT Travel Group, the Australian travel brand that has recently started courting the North American trade for the 2028 season.

"Egypt has always held a magnetic pull for Americans, with a history spanning more than 3,000 years that continues to captivate travelers today, and we're seeing it climb back to the top of travel wish lists," said David Cox, CEO of APT Travel Group.

The 124-passenger ship features 62 cabins and three stateroom categories, including one suite option, ranging from 236 to 409 square feet. The Pharaoh Suite, the ship's most luxurious room category, offers a queen-size bed, four windows and a sitting area. Multiple dining venues and a sun deck with a pool can also be found onboard.

Shore excursions will be led by tour directors who are qualified Egyptologists, bringing ancient Egypt to life for travelers. The Travelmarvel Sirius will operate four itineraries spanning 11 to 21 days. Two programs include visiting Jordan, while another features a Morocco land tour. Prices start at $5,395 per person.
