A luxury Nile river cruise is a premium sailing holiday between Luxor and Aswan aboard a 5-star ship, combining elegant cabins, fine dining, and personal service with guided visits to Egypt’s greatest temples. Instead of changing hotels and arranging transport, you unpack once and let the river carry you through ancient Egypt in comfort and style.
A luxury Nile cruise stands out through its 5-star ships, spacious elegant cabins, fine dining, attentive service, and refined onboard facilities such as a sun deck and pool. Compared with standard cruises, you enjoy higher-quality boats, well-managed groups, expert Egyptologist guides, and a smoother, more polished experience from start to finish.
Our luxury Nile cruises typically run from 4 to 8 days. A 4-day / 3-night cruise covers the key highlights between Luxor and Aswan, while 5 and 8-day options give a fuller, more relaxed journey with more time at each temple. We help you match the length to your schedule and travel style.
Our luxury Nile cruises sail the scenic stretch between Luxor and Aswan, in either direction. Along the way you visit Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and the Valley of the Kings, plus Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae Temple. Every visit is privately guided by an expert Egyptologist for a deeper, unhurried experience.
Our luxury Nile river cruises start from around $1,290 per person for a 4-day Aswan to Luxor sailing, with premium 5-star ships such as the MS Farah from about $2,000. The final price depends on the ship, cabin or suite category, season, and trip length. All our luxury cruises include full-board dining and guided sightseeing.
Our all-inclusive luxury Nile cruises include elegant cabin accommodation, full-board fine dining, guided temple visits with an Egyptologist, entrance fees for the included sites, and onboard service throughout. We can also add domestic flights, airport transfers, Cairo hotels, and Pyramids or Abu Simbel extensions for a complete luxury Egypt holiday.
Cabins on our luxury Nile cruise ships are elegant and comfortable, with en-suite bathrooms, climate control, and large windows or panoramic views of the passing riverbanks. Many ships also offer spacious suites for extra comfort. You unpack once and enjoy your room as a calm, private base throughout the entire journey.
