****************************************
As the offered ship is a motor ship, operational noises may occur.

The ships sometimes dock one behind the other or next to each other, 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 collects an amount of €8 per person per night on the boat, depending on the ship's category, at the beginning of the trip. This amount is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
