The luxury hospitality veteran said she is “looking forward” to the river ship’s debut – before hinting it won’t be the last of Mandarin Oriental’s cruise journey.
“This is our first entrée, and it’ll be great once it launches,” Ruble told TTG.
Mandarin Oriental announced its expansion into luxury cruising in February with the introduction of a boutique Nile River vessel. The ship – which has not yet been built – will complement the group’s first properties in Luxor and Aswan, creating an “integrated, destination-led journey.”
