Booking note: Please note that if you have a flight to/from Hurghada or Marsa Alam, at least one overnight stay in a hotel is required before or after the Nile cruise.

Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile, or due to overloading 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 required to ensure the itinerary.
****************************************
As the ship offered is a motor ship, operational noises may occur.
****************************************
The ships dock partly one behind the other or side by side, so it may be necessary to cross 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. This sum 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 facilities and of the same category.
