I have no information about Sheraton's interest in the Nile cruise trade. Sheraton like Radisson most likely saw an opportunity in a untapped market. Anybody else know about the Sheraton Nile Cruises, that is a cruise that sounds facinating!

I hoped to hear insider information
They are operating four ships such as Anni, Hotp, Aton and Tut who offer 3 to 4 nights cruises between Aswan and Luxor or 7 nights cruises out of Aswan or Luxor
They were received a refurbishment in 1989.

If someone have photos were taken before refurbishment, I'd like to see them and any more information(Ship Specifications,etc) much appreciated

I also can't help with respect to Sheraton cruises, specifically, but I did take a Nile cruise a few years ago and have a lot of photos from the experience, if you're interested. http://brianandrobbie.com

We sailed on the Hotp in AUgust 1982. The ship was spotless with excellent service. American Express was the the package as part of a 10 day vacation throught Egypt. It was a fabulous and educational experience.
DOn't know what happened to the ships and have not
reserached it. The cabins were very small. alf the size of the smallest cabins today.

I can't compere with Hilton's isis or Osiris and Hotp, however Hilton's ships were built as River Cruise Ships therefore Cabin space is Limited - Ships accommodates 141 guests in 56 cabins.
