Luxor to Aswan 5-Star Nile Cruise Voyage
Sail through thousands of years of ancient civilization along the tranquil waters of the Nile. Drift between Luxor and Aswan aboard a luxury 5-star river cruise ship with full-board dining, private balcony/panoramic window cabins, a rooftop swimming pool, and guided excursions to Egypt's most awe-inspiring monuments.
About This Voyage
A Nile cruise is the quintessential Egyptian travel experience. By combining relaxing river navigation with comprehensive shore excursions, you experience Upper Egypt’s historical wonders without packing and unpacking between hotels.
Each morning brings a new ancient treasure: from the hypostyle hall of Karnak and the royal crypts in the Valley of the Kings, to the falcon temple of Horus at Edfu, the riverside crocodile sanctuary of Kom Ombo, and the majestic island temple of Isis at Philae in Aswan. Evenings are spent relaxing on the breezy sun deck as the desert dusk casts golden hues across the riverbanks.
