Deluxe Nile cruises, balanced for comfort and value

A deluxe Nile cruise is a comfortable, well-appointed river ship offering full-board accommodation, public lounges and a sun deck while following the classic route between Luxor and Aswan. Facilities and cabin standards vary by vessel, so compare the individual ship pages before booking.

Most sailings run for four days and three nights from Aswan to Luxor, or five days and four nights from Luxor to Aswan. Weekly departure days depend on the individual vessel.

Both categories sail the same stretch of river and normally cover the same major temples. Luxury vessels generally place more emphasis on cabin finishes, service and premium facilities, while deluxe ships focus on comfortable accommodation and strong overall value.

Most cruise programmes are sold on a full-board basis with breakfast, lunch and dinner aboard. Drinks, tipping and optional services usually cost extra, and exact inclusions should be checked on the selected vessel.

Many itineraries include guided sightseeing at Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan, but some products are accommodation-only or price excursions separately. We confirm the exact programme and entrance-fee policy before booking.

Yes. We can combine the sailing with Cairo, Abu Simbel, Red Sea hotels, private transfers and extra nights in Luxor or Aswan to create one complete itinerary.
