FAQs

What is the main difference between an 8-day cruise and a shorter 4 or 5-day one?

The main difference is the pace and the amount of time spent in the key cities. Shorter cruises pack all the sights into a fast-paced trip. The 8-day cruise provides multiple nights docked in both Luxor and Aswan, allowing you to explore more deeply, without feeling rushed. You'll have extra time for optional tours and for simply relaxing on the ship.

What's included in the tour package?
  • Accommodation: Seven nights on a 5-star cruise ship.
  • Meals: Full-board dining (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
  • Excursions: All guided tours to the main sites.
  • Guide: A licensed Egyptologist guide for all tours.
  • Transfers: All airport/train station transfers to and from the cruise ship.
  • Onboard Entertainment: Most cruises feature evening entertainment like a "galabiya" party and a belly dance show.
What should I pack for the cruise?

Comfort is key. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for the hot weather, comfortable walking shoes for the tours, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Evenings on board can be slightly more formal, so a few nicer outfits are recommended. Don't forget your passport and any necessary medications.
