Booking information: Please note that for an outward or return flight to/from Hurghada or Marsa Alam, at least one overnight stay in a hotel is required before or after the Nile cruise.
No overnight stay is necessary for an outward and/or return flight to/from Luxor.
**************************************
The transfer duration from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 7-8 hours, depending on the hotel's location.
**************************************
Due to seasonal low water levels in the Nile or due to overloading or maintenance of the Esna locks, changes to the itinerary may occur. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on a comparable ship may be necessary to ensure the itinerary.
**************************************
As the ship offered is a motor vessel, operational noises may occur.
**************************************
The ships sometimes dock one behind the other or side-by-side, so it may be necessary to cross over other ships.
It is possible that the ship is not always accessible barrier-free.
**************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constant tipping on board, your local tour guide collects an amount of €7 per person per night on the boat at the beginning of the trip, depending on the ship's category. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
