The short answer

Background
The facts
Jaz Crown Prince is a five-star Nile cruise vessel used for weekly sailings between Luxor and Aswan in both directions. Embarkation and disembarkation take place in Luxor and Aswan, with the cruise programme built around alternating sailing days and guided shore excursions. The standard excursion set includes Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple in Luxor, Edfu Temple of Horus, Kom Ombo Temple, Philae Temple in Aswan, and the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor.
The vessel’s accommodation is graded into Standard, Deluxe, and Suite categories. Many cabins have panoramic windows, and selected cabin types include a Nile-view balcony. On board, facilities typically include a sun deck, a small pool, a lounge bar, and a dining room, with daily cabin housekeeping and complimentary WiFi in public areas.
Full board applies from lunch on the embarkation day through breakfast on the disembarkation day. Drinks beyond water with meals are usually extra, and gratuities are not included unless stated separately. The cruise is arranged by Discovery Tours Egypt, while the vessel itself is owned and operated by a third-party cruise line.

The Chateau Lafayette Nile Cruise sails between Aswan and Luxor, calling at Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, and Luxor Temple. We offer 4- and 5-night programs that combine guided archaeology with relaxing time on the sun deck. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we arrange transfers, meet-and-assist, and English-speaking Egyptologist-led visits. We run small-group guided excursions rather than large coach tours, which keeps time at the sites focused and unrushed.
