The River Nile, the world's longest, has long been the lifeblood of a desert country. One of the highlights of a trip to Egypt is to take a cruise along this most famous of rivers for several days, sailing past monuments thousands of years old, each one a testament to the importance of the river to successive civilizations.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery as you cruise the Nile on a 5-day journey from Luxor to Aswan. Those with more time to luxuriate can spend eight days relaxing on a leisurely Nile River cruise from Luxor. Sightseeing with a private guide, entrance fees and meals are included on a luxuriously relaxing cruise on Egypt's famous river. Alternately, you can enjoy a 4-day cruise or 8-day cruise traveling from Aswan to Luxor.
Scheduled privately guided tours on the cruise include the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temples, Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo and the beautiful Philae Temple in Aswan. As the tours are private, you can plan your itinerary with your guide during the cruise.
The deluxe Nile
cruiser boasts an on-board restaurant, lounges and reading areas, a
discotheque, swimming pool with jacuzzi, large shaded sundeck with bar,
massage service, boutique, gift shop and laundry service. Evening
entertainment may include Nubian music and dancers, a Galabayeh night
and belly dancing. The cruiser's 58 air-conditioned cabins have private
facilities and satellite TV, and you can choose from three cabin types.
Shorter half-day cruises include a boat tour of Soheil Island and a felucca tour of Elephantine-Island and Aswan Botanic Gardens.

Just brilliant! We were a little worried about making such a tour booking online, but from our meeting at the airport in Aswan, until our farewell in Luxor, we were treated very well and felt safe all the way. Food was top notch, the pool on the top deck bliss, and our rooms were better than we expected. There were only 14 guests on our boat, which actually holds 120, so we were very spoilt for space. Our guide Mustafa was a real gentleman, gave us all the history/stories/real life of Egypt. My biggest tip for future travellers would be to take US$50 in one dollar bills to use for tipping, since we found it very difficult to get small Egyptian Pound notes anywhere. Also take 50 + pens to give to children, since many were asking! Best day on the cruise was the 8 hour journey between temples, during the day, since we really got a great view of the Nile from the pool deck. Boat did not have any snack foods on board, so take your own, or buy on the street. Finally, we made specific room requests via Viator (2 x twin + 1 x double) and this was passed onto the boat operator. Very happy all around!
