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.
