Cabins are offered in graded classes, with Nile-view balconies on higher grades and panoramic windows in lower grades. We hand-pick this ship rather than include it in coach-led mass-market packages, and the excursion pattern gives time ashore at major temples rather than rushed port calls.

Jaz Crown Jewel Nile Cruise

LUXOR → LUXOR

Lady Carol Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private transfers, on-board meals, and our Egyptologists for guided visits to Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae. Distinctive POV: we prioritise longer on-site time at Edfu and Kom Ombo rather than brief drive-by stops common on mass-market overnight cruises. Comparison: unlike many cruises that limit Edfu to 90 minutes, our itinerary allocates a full morning ashore. Trade-offs: expect early starts, walking on uneven ancient stone, and limited shade at mid-day temple courtyards. Standard site entrance fees are included; pyramid interiors and premium tombs are excluded unless requested.

Lady Mary Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

A 4-day Nile cruise aboard MS Lady Mary, typically running between Luxor and Aswan with guided shore visits. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and arrange private transfers from city piers and Egyptologist-led excursions rather than large coach-group trips. We don't run group-bus shore excursions; our Egyptologists lead private visits timed to avoid the busiest periods when possible. Unlike packaged 4-night cruises, this short itinerary concentrates on core temples such as Edfu and Kom Ombo instead of many rushed calls. Trade-offs: cabins are compact, days often start early, and expect walking on uneven ancient stone and limited shade at midday.

Mirage Nile Cruise

Luxor → ASWAN

Our English-speaking Egyptologists lead groups of up to eight guests, which keeps commentary interactive and questions practical. Unlike larger day-boat schedules, the itinerary allows substantive time at Edfu and Kom Ombo for on-shore exploration. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and our local team arranges meet-and-assist, transfers, and shore logistics so you step straight into each day’s program.

Monica Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

Monica Nile Cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, calling at Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae. Guided shore visits are led by English-speaking Egyptologists, and meals are served on a full board basis. We limit shore groups to a maximum of eight participants, not large coach groups, so excursions ashore move faster and allow more time at each site. Unlike short daytime shore trips, the overnight sailing schedule gives calmer visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo. Optional extras such as a felucca ride or a hot-air balloon can be arranged. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and our team coordinates meet-and-assist, transfers, and sightseeing on the ground.

Moondance Nile Cruise

Aswan → Luxor

MS Moondance is a 4-day Nile cruise linking Luxor and Aswan with Egyptologist-led shore visits. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and assign our own Egyptologists and drivers rather than outsourcing guides. Typical calls include Karnak Temple, Luxor West Bank (Valley of the Kings), Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, and Philae on Agilkia Island. Unlike hotel day trips, the cruise moves you overnight between cities, reducing repeated baggage transfers. Trade-offs: there are early starts for key sites, walking on uneven ancient stone, and limited shade on deck at midday.

Movenpick Prince Abbas Lake Cruise

Aswan → Abu Simbel

A one-day cruise aboard the Mövenpick Prince Abbas on Lake Nasser, operating from Aswan and serving the Abu Simbel corridor. We arrange the cruise logistics, local crew and onboard meals, as a licensed Egyptian tour operator. We do not run mass coach transfers; our transfers are private or small-group, timed to minimise waiting at the pier.

Unlike shorter 3-night, tightly timed cruises, this 4-day format allows unhurried visits to Luxor West Bank and Kom Ombo when the itinerary includes them. Trade-offs: expect early starts, long ashore walks on uneven ancient stone, and significant sun exposure on open decks and temple forecourts.

Nile Story Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

Nile Story Nile Cruise sails between Aswan and Luxor, calling at Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor's East and West Banks. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and our Egyptologists lead all guided visits. The cruise runs as a small-group operation, limited to 1–8 guests, which keeps landings and temple visits quieter than on large Nile ships. Embarkation is available in Aswan or Luxor, and our team provides private meet and assist services at arrival. Visits focus on named sites and context, for example the Ptolemaic reliefs at Kom Ombo and the well-preserved hypostyle halls on Luxor's East Bank. Compared with standard large-ship itineraries, this Comfort-class option allocates more time ashore at Edfu and Kom Ombo, so walking routes around temples are less rushed.

Nile Style Nile Cruise

Nubian Sea Lake Nasser Cruise

Your Discovery Tours Egypt representative meets you on arrival in Aswan, and our Egyptologists lead all scheduled shore visits. We avoid rushed coach-drop visits, which gives you longer guided time at each temple than many day-trip schedules allow. Full-board meals and accommodation onboard are included, along with all scheduled sightseeing with our Egyptologists. Evenings are spent on the lake, so you reach remote sites at quieter times of day. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator; contact us for cabin arrangements and timing details before you travel.

Radamis I Nile Cruise

Aswan → LUXOR

Radamis I cruises the Nile between Aswan and Luxor, visiting Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings.

Embarkation is available in Aswan or Luxor, and passengers dine on full-board meals served aboard. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator. We coordinate meet-and-assist, transfers, and shore excursions while you travel on Radamis I. Unlike short shuttle cruises, this itinerary schedules proper guided visits at Edfu and Kom Ombo rather than very brief stops. Optional Abu Simbel excursions can be arranged from Aswan on request. Most departures include an evening folkloric show on board, and the cruise concludes with visits to Karnak and Luxor Temples on the East Bank.

Renaissance Nile Cruise

LUXOR → LUXOR

Royal Liberty Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

Four-day Nile cruise aboard MS Liberty, handled on the ground by a licensed Egyptian tour operator. Typical shore visits include Karnak Temple, Luxor West Bank and either Kom Ombo or Philae depending on sailing direction; check your departure's day-by-day route. We coordinate our Egyptologists, transfers and timing directly with the vessel rather than outsourcing ground handling overseas. Unlike many large-ship packages, we prioritise aligning visits with local opening times and daylight, not merely filling a checklist. Trade-offs: a four-day schedule requires earlier starts and gives shorter time at each site than longer cruises. Ask us for the sample itinerary and cabin options.

Royal Princess Amira Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

This 4-day Nile cruise aboard MS Royal Amira runs between Luxor and Aswan with daily guided shore excursions. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator; our Egyptologists lead the site visits and explain temple architecture and tomb contexts. We do not run mass coach tours – our approach avoids the compressed, minute-long shore calls typical of some river operators and gives fuller time at Karnak and Luxor West Bank. Included: standard site entrance fees unless stated otherwise; pyramid interiors and premium tombs are extra. Trade-offs: early starts for temples and limited shade on the open deck at midday; we advise sun protection and sensible footwear.

Ruby 1 Nile Cruise

Aswan → Luxor

MS Ruby 1 is a four-day Nile cruise operated by a licensed Egyptian tour operator. Typical 4-day itineraries run between Luxor and Aswan and commonly include Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings; confirm your ship’s exact calls when you book. We arrange private, Egyptologist-guided shore excursions rather than fixed coach schedules, so visits can be timed to avoid the busiest moments. Trade-offs: a four-day cruise concentrates highlights into fewer days, which usually means early starts and less time ashore at some sites. We handle transfers, embarkation logistics, and optional visits to premium tombs on request.

Salacia Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

You board MS Salacia at the Luxor Nile pier and sign in at reception; luggage moves to your cabin while I run through the day's timings. The vessel operates four nights between Luxor and Aswan on a Classic Nile-cruise scale: cabins are compact, Nile-cruise standard with en suite facilities – not an ocean liner. I time the major visits for cooler hours: Karnak's Hypostyle Hall before the tourist coaches, and Luxor Temple at dusk when the light is kinder and the heat eases. On the West Bank we visit the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple; site entry allows access to selected tombs and involves short walks and uneven stone surfaces. We sail past riverbank villages and farmland from the shaded sun deck; the boat often moors at the Esna lock in the late afternoon. Edfu receives a two-hour guided visit because the Horus Temple needs more than a quick stop, and Kom Ombo sits at quay level with a short stair into the courtyard. Meals are full-board on board, with Egyptian dishes, salads and a set-menu dinner; coffee and tea service runs through the afternoon. We disembark in Aswan for Philae Temple by motorboat and a scheduled visit to the High Dam. Abu Simbel is not part of the standard cruise: arrange a separate transfer by plane (approx. $180 one-way) or by road (about 3.5–4 hours each way, early start). I manage pacing and walking routes so the heat and steps remain manageable.

Salima Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

Salima is a five-star Nile cruise vessel offering full board cabin accommodation and a shaded sun deck, lounge bar and dining saloon. Cabins are offered in Standard, Deluxe and Suite classes, with Nile-view windows or private balconies where specified.

Discovery Tours Egypt arranges bookings and embarkation logistics for this carefully selected cruiser; drinks beyond water with meals and gratuities are typically extra.

Sonesta Nile Goddess Nile Cruise

Aswan → Luxor

MS Nile Goddess is a 4-day Nile cruise operating from Luxor with guided shore visits to East and West Bank monuments. We operate this cruise as a licensed Egyptian tour operator and run Egyptologist-led, private shore excursions rather than coach-based group stops. Typical calls include Karnak, Luxor Temple and Luxor West Bank (Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut); northbound sailings often visit Edfu and Kom Ombo. We handle all private transfers, embarkation formalities and daily briefing by our Egyptologists. Trade-offs: expect early starts, walking on uneven ancient stone, and limited shade at midday ashore.

Stephanie Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

A deluxe 5-star Nile river cruise linking Luxor and Aswan, with sailing days alternating with shore excursions at Egypt’s principal ancient sites. The excursion programme includes Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Edfu’s Temple of Horus, Kom Ombo, Philae and the Valley of the Kings. Sailings operate weekly in both directions between Luxor and Aswan. Cabins are offered in Standard, Deluxe and Suite classes, subject to availability. Full board runs from lunch on embarkation day through breakfast on disembarkation day. Drinks beyond water served with meals are generally extra. Unlike a fixed sightseeing tour, this format combines time on the river with visits to several archaeological sites.

Sun Times Nile Cruise

Aswan → Luxor

A four-day Nile cruise aboard MS Sun Times between Luxor and Aswan with Egyptologist-guided shore visits. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we operate the logistics on the ground, including airport pickups and private transfers to and from the ship. We don't run large coach tours; instead we schedule longer visits at Karnak Temple and the Luxor West Bank to avoid rushed shore time. Unlike fast-turnaround day trips, this cruise includes full visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo without hurried drives. Standard site entrance fees are included; pyramid interiors, premium tombs, and gratuities are excluded. Expect early starts, walking on uneven stone, and limited shade at sites.

Tiyi Nile Cruise

Luxor → ASWAN

The Tiyi Nile Cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, calling at Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae. Guided shore visits focus on the named archaeological sites, so you spend meaningful time at each temple and tomb rather than brief stopovers. We schedule full guided visits at Edfu and Kom Ombo, not short port calls, which matters if you want time to study reliefs and inscriptions. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we coordinate arrival assistance, transfers, and Egyptologists on the ground. Optional extensions to Abu Simbel, Cairo, or the Red Sea are available if you wish to continue your trip after disembarkation.

Tower Prestige Nile Cruise

Luxor → Aswan

Board the MS Tower Prestige at Luxor's Nile pier; I meet you on deck and point across the river to Karnak's pylons. We set a steady rhythm: early-morning visits to the West Bank (Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Colossi of Memnon) before the coach tours arrive, an afternoon passage through the Esna lock, and an overnight mooring at Edfu so the Horus Temple receives a proper two-hour visit. Cabins are Classic Nile-cruise scale–roughly 12 m² with en-suite facilities and modest storage–suitable if you pack light. The sun deck gives shaded and open seating; the dining salon serves full-board meals prepared to local taste and timed around excursions. Expect straightforward service from a local crew; the vessel is Classic tier, not a five-star floating resort: there is no spa or gym, Wi‑Fi is patchy, and power can dip briefly when the generator switches. I guide every excursion: I explain the ritual passages at Karnak, point out tomb decoration styles in the Valley, and time our visits so light and crowd levels work to your advantage. Sailing between Luxor and Aswan keeps most travel on daylight hours; you live the riverbank–fishing feluccas, sugarcane fields, village children waving–rather than long overnight crossings. We disembark in Aswan with guided visits to Philae, the High Dam, and the Unfinished Obelisk. If you prefer more space or luxury amenities, ask about our higher-tier vessels; the MS Tower Prestige is compact, direct, and focused on the monuments.
