A typical Luxury Nile Cruise boat is a floating, 5-star hotel, providing most of the amenities of a normal 5-star hotel, including a relaxing sun deck and swimming pool. All your meals are included, though beverages and bottled water are extra. There is a large selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available at the bar, creations of innovative bar tenders. You will have your own en-suite, air-conditioned cabin (we book upper deck cabins wherever possible), and full use of all the boats facilities (restaurants, ships, sun deck, swimming pool, etc)
We use several different 5 star cruise boats on the Nile, and we will inform you exactly which boat we will use at the time of reservation, as the boats shuttle back and forth on the Nile between Aswan and Luxor, with regular breaks for cleaning and maintenance. However, we regularly inspect to ensure they are of the same 5-star deluxe standard.
We send our own Egyptologist guides on board with you. Our guide is also at your service during the cruise to help with any problems with your cabin, dietary requirements at mealtimes, or just to sit and talk about Egypt with you, answering any questions you may have
