Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile, or due to overload or maintenance of the Esna locks, the itinerary may change. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on a ship of equal quality may be necessary to ensure the itinerary.
**************************************
As the offered ship is a motor vessel, operational noises may occur.

Ships sometimes dock one behind the other or side-by-side, so it may be necessary to cross other ships.
It is possible that the ship may not always be accessible barrier-free.
**************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constant tipping on board, your local tour guide will collect an amount of 8 € per person per night on the boat, depending on the ship's category, at the beginning of the trip. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your vacation as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
