Step back in time and discover Egypt’s ancient history and
fascinating treasures. Egypt is a country that offers holiday
opportunities like no other destination in the world.
There’s so much to choose from. Take a cruise down the

legendary River Nile taking in the ancient sites, sample
the stunning beaches and underwater world of the Red Sea
Riviera or take a city break in bustling Cairo or Luxor.
For the first time visitor, we would recommend building your

holiday around Luxor and a Nile cruise. If, however, you feel
like exploring other parts of Egypt, we can help you select
the perfect itinerary, one that is right for you.
Wherever you go, Egypt is sure to capture your imagination

and leave you with lasting memories.
NILE CRUISES
To fully discover the ancient wonders of Egypt, a cruise
on the River Nile is truly an unforgettable experience.
The Nile River has been Egypt’s lifeline since ancient
times and there is no better way to trace the passage
of Egypt’s history than to follow the course of the Nile.
Each day gives you every opportunity to explore new sights

or simply enjoy a different view. We have a great selection
of superb boats to choose from, all specifically designed
with the Nile in mind. We carefully select all of our boats,
so you can be rest assured of the best service and facilities
as well as exceptional value for money. We offer a choice
of four and seven night cruises from standard 4 star to
5 star luxury. We also offer an All Inclusive option on board
the MS Orchestra with all soft and local alcoholic drinks
included in the price.
You can discover more of Egypt’s ancient history or

its beautiful beaches and modern resorts by combining
a Nile cruise with an extended stay in Luxor, Cairo
or the Red Sea resorts of El Gouna or Sharm El Sheikh.
Alternatively, you can devise your own individual itinerary
creating an unforgettable holiday experience.
