Overview
Crown Prince is published in the JAZ operator’s fleet as JAZ Crown Prince. The operator’s factsheet lists 76 double cabins and four single cabins, with a cabin area of 19 m². It also lists panoramic windows and individually controlled air conditioning. The single-cabin provision is a useful detail to check if you are travelling alone; it does not establish availability or the price for your chosen date.
The Crown Prince package offered here
The four-day route starts in Aswan and finishes in Luxor, with Kom Ombo and Edfu between the two cities. Philae, the High Dam and the Luxor visits are arranged within that programme. The inclusion list covers full-board accommodation, the stated transfers, an English-speaking Egyptologist and entrance fees for the sightseeing mentioned. Optional tours and extra beverages remain separate.
Compare the room, not just the category label
Confirm whether your quote is for a single or double cabin, how many guests will share it and which services are included. A “deluxe” listing alone does not mean every vessel has the same cabin dimensions. Compare this option with Chateau Lafayette’s cabin categories or the other deluxe ships.
