Since the dawn of recorded history the Nile has been a major highway for commerce, festivals and holidays. Ancient Egypt thrived off it's waters and history is full of stories about the river.

Along it's banks stand today magnificent temples, thousands of years old, yet still exhibiting their grandeur and ingraining themselves in people's minds.

While in ancient times boaters were at the mercy of the currents and winds today's traveler enjoys the air-conditioned comfort of river craft resplendent with the amenities of palaces.

All 5 Star cruises, regardless of category, feature outside Nile view cabins with private baths, individually controlled air-conditioning, telephone, T.V./video. meals, transfers to/from antiquity sites, entry fees plus the service of a fluent English speaking guide (unless you prefer another language. We have guides fluent in virtually all major languages). Service charges and taxes.
