Booking information: Please note that for a 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 a flight to/from Luxor.
****************************************
The transfer time from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 7-8 hours depending on the hotel's location.
****************************************
Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or due to congestion or maintenance of the Esna locks, the itinerary may change. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on an equivalent 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 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 constantly giving tips on board, your local 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 amount is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
****************************************
When booking this ship, accommodation will be on the MS Nile Serenity or another ship with similar amenities and of the same category.
