Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or due to congestion or maintenance of the Esna locks, the itinerary may be subject to change. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on an equivalent ship may be necessary to ensure the itinerary.
****************************************
As the ship is a motor vessel, operational noise may occur.
****************************************
The ships dock partially one behind another or side-by-side, which may require crossing other ships. It may happen 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 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.
