Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the full-board package?

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served on board every day. Mineral water is included during excursions. Alcoholic drinks and soft drinks at meals are not included and can be ordered separately.

What is the cruise ship like?

 We work with carefully selected 5-star Nile cruise ships with comfortable cabins, a sun deck, restaurant, and pool. Let us know your cabin preference when booking and we will match you with the right vessel.

Is Abu Simbel worth adding? 

Absolutely. Abu Simbel is one of the most extraordinary sites in Egypt — two massive temples carved from solid rock and relocated piece by piece to save them from rising waters. It requires an early departure from Aswan on Day 5. Spaces are limited, so let us know in advance if you want to include it.

Can I join this cruise as a solo traveler? 

Yes. We accommodate solo travelers, couples, families, and groups. Let us know your travel party when booking and we will arrange everything accordingly.

Is the felucca ride included?

 Yes — the traditional felucca sailing experience around Aswan's islands on Day 4 is included in the tour price.

Can I extend the cruise or add extra days in Luxor or Aswan?

 Yes. We can add extra nights before or after the cruise, include Luxor day tours or Aswan excursions, or build a complete multi-city itinerary around your sailing. Use our Tailor-Made service to get started.

Are children welcome on the cruise?

Yes. The cruise works well for families — the river, the temples, and the felucca ride tend to capture children's attention naturally. We adjust the pace and explanations to suit all ages.
