Nile Cruises

Choose the river journey before choosing the ship

A Luxor–Aswan Nile cruise and a Lake Nasser cruise visit different places. The classic Nile route connects the Luxor temples with Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. Lake Nasser cruises connect Aswan and Abu Simbel through Nubian temple sites. A dahabiya offers a smaller-vessel format, with its own boarding points and stops.

Match the direction to your travel plans

Several ships offer three nights from Aswan to Luxor and four nights in the reverse direction. The number of nights is different from the number of travel days. For example, MS Medea describes both programmes. Confirm your arrival city and the final day’s sightseeing before arranging an onward flight.

Compare like-for-like quotations

Check the ship, cabin category, sailing dates, number of nights and guests sharing the cabin. Prices are starting prices per person, not a promise that every departure or cabin costs the same. Read the named trip’s inclusion list for guiding, transfers, monument tickets, meals and drinks. A full-board stay does not automatically mean every drink or optional excursion is included.

Browse standard five-star ships and deluxe ships using those same criteria. Send the names of the options you are comparing so the team can quote equivalent dates and accommodation.
