Cruises

Note

Booking Note: Please note that for arrival or departure flights 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 arrival or departure flights to/from Luxor.
**************************************
Smoking is only permitted on the open decks.
**************************************
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 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 offered ship is a motor vessel, operational noise may occur.
**************************************
The ships may dock one behind the other or side by side, making it necessary to cross other ships.
It may happen that the ship is not always accessible without barriers.
**************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To spare you the stress of constant tipping on board, your local tour guide will collect an amount of €7 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.

Note

###############
If you arrive at night (only applies to certain flights), your room may not be available until the next day at the regular check-in time.
If you depart at night (also only applies to certain flights), the hotel overnight stay may end the day before at the regular check-out time.
Therefore, please always check the booked number of nights.
