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

**************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constantly giving tips on board, your local tour guide collects an amount of €8 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.
