A Luxor Aswan Nile cruise package is the simplest way to see Upper Egypt’s greatest temples: you unpack once, and the monuments come to you. Egypt Best Vacations operates 3, 4 and 7 night sailings between Luxor and Aswan on full-board ships — with entrance fees to every site in your itinerary already included in the price, and a qualified Egyptologist guiding you through each one.
Between the two cities lie the temples that defined ancient Egypt. Karnak, where thirty dynasties of pharaohs each added their mark. The Valley of the Kings, cut into the limestone of the west bank. Edfu, the most complete temple standing anywhere in Egypt. Kom Ombo, shared between two gods. Philae, moved stone by stone to save it from the water rising behind the High Dam. A cruise threads them together in the order the river does.

At Egypt Best Vacations, we’re making this magic even more irresistible with unforgettable Egypt deals on our most popular Egypt tour packages, Nile cruises, and day tours!
Every Luxor Aswan Nile cruise package includes full-board accommodation on the ship, entrance fees to all sites listed in your itinerary, Egyptologist-guided touring at each monument, all transfers between airport, hotel and ship, onboard entertainment, and all taxes and service charges. Drinks, tipping and personal spending are not included.
Yes. Entrance fees to every site named in your itinerary are included in the price of all Egypt Best Vacations Nile cruise packages. Many operators quote a lower headline price and then collect entrance fees separately on the ground — a Luxor to Aswan itinerary carries a significant amount of entry tickets. We include them, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Luxor Aswan Nile cruise packages start from $590 per person sharing a triple cabin for a 3 night sailing, including entrance fees and Egyptologist guiding. Longer itineraries and higher ship classes cost more.
Three or four nights covers every major temple between Luxor and Aswan and suits most first-time visitors. Choose the 3 night Aswan to Luxor sailing if your time is tight, the 4 night Luxor to Aswan sailing for a fuller west bank program, or the 7 night round trip if you would rather see the same sites at a slower pace with free time in both cities.
Both directions visit the same temples. Sail north from Aswan to Luxor for the shorter three-night itinerary, finishing on Luxor’s biggest monuments. Sail south from Luxor to Aswan for the four and seven night itineraries. In practice, let your arrival city decide: fly into Aswan and sail north, fly into Luxor and sail south.
October to April, when temperatures are comfortable for walking through open temple sites. November to February is peak season, so book early for those months. Summer sailings run and cost less, but expect Upper Egypt heat well above 40C.
Yes. Every ship we sell has private en-suite cabins with air conditioning, most with a Nile-facing window or balcony. Cabin size and finish vary by ship class, from Standard through to Luxury.
Yes. We run dedicated solo departures where a private single-occupancy cabin is included in the quoted price — there is no separate single supplement added at booking. You travel with a group, tour with the same Egyptologist guide, and keep your own cabin throughout.
