    Truly wonderful holiday

    Hubby and I have wanted to visit Egypt for ages but did not want to go as part of a large group. Found Egypt Best Vacations on Facebook and was impressed with the range of options available. We wanted to see as much of Egypt as possible and Egypt Best Vacations was great at helping us book the most suitable holiday for us at a reasonable price.

    Lifetime memories made

    We enjoyed our Egypt travels through Egypt Best Vacations. Essam is the best tour coordinator and guide one can find! I am so glad we found him because he made our trip memorable in so many ways! He was always able to make the tours fun by telling us stories of the past in engaging ways! He was always helpful and gave us honest guidance regarding all local experiences eg. How to behave with street vendors. You felt you could trust him and rely on him fully through the travel!

Related FAQs About Egypt Luxury Nile River Cruises

Most Asked Questions about Luxury Nile Cruise Packages

What is a luxury Nile river cruise?

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.

What makes a Nile cruise "luxury" or 5-star?

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.

How long is a luxury Nile river cruise?

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.

Which route and sites do luxury Nile cruises cover?

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.

How much does a luxury Nile cruise cost?

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.

What's included in an all-inclusive luxury Nile cruise?

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.

What are the cabins and suites like on a luxury Nile cruise?

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.

What dining is offered on board a luxury Nile cruise?

Luxury Nile cruises offer full-board fine dining, usually as a mix of buffet and à la carte meals prepared fresh on board. You can enjoy international and Egyptian cuisine, themed dinners, and relaxed meals on deck with river views. Dietary needs can usually be arranged in advance with prior notice.

When is the best time for a luxury Nile cruise, and when do they depart?

October to April is the best time, with warm, comfortable days for sightseeing in Luxor and Aswan. Our luxury cruises run on fixed weekly departures, commonly Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from Aswan, and Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from Luxor. We confirm exact departure days when you book.

Are luxury Nile cruises good for couples, honeymoons, and families?

Yes. The elegant cabins, fine dining, and relaxed pace make luxury Nile cruises ideal for couples, honeymooners, families, and friends. Romantic sailing, calm evenings on deck, and effortless travel suit special occasions beautifully, while the all-inclusive format keeps a family holiday smooth and stress-free.

Should I choose a luxury cruise ship or a luxury dahabiya?

A luxury cruise ship offers spacious cabins, a pool, and full facilities for a polished, sociable experience, while a luxury dahabiya is a small sailing boat with only a few cabins for maximum privacy and charm. Choose a ship for comfort and amenities, or a dahabiya for intimacy and exclusivity — we offer both.

Can a luxury Nile cruise be combined with Cairo and the Pyramids?

Yes. A luxury Nile cruise combines perfectly with Cairo and the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Abu Simbel, or a Red Sea beach stay. We arrange domestic flights, private transfers, and 5-star hotels so your whole trip matches the comfort of your cruise. Many guests make the cruise the centrepiece of a longer luxury Egypt itinerary.
