- 01Luxor to Aswan Nile cruisesThe Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise is the classic way to see Upper Egypt: four nights on board, the temples and tombs of Luxor at the start, then an unhurried sail south past Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan. Every boat on this page sails this program, so you can compare cruise ships and dahabiyas side by side and ask for a quote for your dates.See the cruises
- 02Aswan to Luxor Nile cruisesAswan to Luxor is the short Nile cruise: three nights on board, boarding in Aswan and sailing north with the current to finish with a full day on the East and West Banks of Luxor. It suits travelers with less time who still want the main temples of the river. The cruise ships on this page all sail this program.See the cruises
- 03Luxury Nile cruisesOur luxury Nile cruise ships are the top class of the fleet we offer: larger suites, more wellness facilities, and more polished service, on the same classic route between Luxor and Aswan. This page explains what sets the class apart, how to compare the ships in it, and which program to choose, so you can ask for a quote with confidence.See the cruises
- 04Nile cruise plus CairoMany first trips to Egypt combine two halves: Cairo and the pyramids in the north, and a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan in the south. This page explains how the two fit together, which cruise suits which plan, and how long the whole trip needs to be, so you can ask for one quote that covers everything.See the cruises
- 05Deluxe Nile cruisesDeluxe Nile cruises are the comfortable middle of the fleet we offer: well-run river ships with a pool and full board, sailing the classic route between Luxor and Aswan. They suit travelers who want a relaxed, good-value cruise without paying for extras they will not use. Compare the deluxe ships here and ask for a quote.See the cruises
- 06Nile cruise vs dahabiyaIt depends on what you want from the river. A dahabiya is a small traditional sailing boat: quieter, more personal and slower. A cruise ship is a floating hotel with a pool, a restaurant, and more choice of routes. This page sets the two side by side using the boats and programs we actually offer.See the cruises
- 07Standard Nile cruisesStandard Nile cruises are the simplest way to sail between Luxor and Aswan: a classic river ship with a pool, a sun deck, and full board, on the same programs and past the same temples as every other ship. They suit travelers who see the boat as a comfortable base for the sightseeing. Compare the standard ships here and ask for a quote.See the cruises
- 08Dahabiya Nile cruiseA dahabiya is a traditional two-masted sailing boat with only a few cabins. It sails the Nile at a gentler pace than a cruise ship, and with so few guests on board the trip feels more like sailing with friends than staying in a floating hotel. The dahabiyas we offer sail 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan.See the cruises
