The benefits of a River Nile cruise

Friday, February 26th, 2010

A cruise is seen by many as being a very expensive holiday only to be afforded by the wealthy amongst us. This is a misconception as the cost of a cruise compared to an equivalent holiday on land is quite low in comparison. To book a holiday on land and see places of interest, such as Egypt, would cost a lot of money as you would have to pay for many methods of travel to transport you to and from different places – as well as different accommodation and the your food and drink on top of all that. A River Nile cruise includes the cost of your travel and accommodation, and food and drink as well as entertainment. You will also be travelling to several places of interest with minimal disruption.

A Nile cruise enables you to visit places of historical interest and landmarks whilst remaining relaxed and able to recharge your batteries just as a holiday should do. You can relax by the swimming pool on a River Nile cruise and watch the life of rural Egypt float by. A holiday is a break away from the toils of everyday life and a cruise is the perfect way to experience luxury and comfort whilst still being able to visit places of historical value.

Here at One Small Step Travel we aim to create the perfect Egypt experience for you. We can arrange a River Nile cruise combined with a stay in a resort hotel as well arrange any additional requests such as car hire or insurance to enable you to relax.

Cruising The Nile For Your Honeymoon

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The whole idea of the honeymoon was a period where the couple got to spend some time away from the pressures of real life to get to know each other in a relaxing and romantic setting.  Many couples live together these days before they get married, but having a honeymoon still seems to feel very different than just going on a holiday together.  Remembering what a honeymoon is supposed to be about, that is a bit of romance away from the pressures of real life, we know a Nile river cruise is just about perfect.

Although Egypt is a vibrant country with all the normal modern conveniences and the ships that do the Nile river cruises are among the most palatial and up-to-the-minute cruise ships in the world, once you start your cruise along the river time seems to slow down.  Watch the ever-changing scenery unfold in front of your eyes as you move gently along the river and take in a beautiful sunset and suddenly you feel the romance.  It doesn’t matter if this is your first honeymoon or your fiftieth anniversary treat you will never forgot the moment.

Here at One Small Step Travel we have many years of experience in organising superb honeymoon cruises on the Nile and will be happy to advise you on anything you may need.  We can assure you that a cruise on the Nile fits the honeymoon destination bill absolutely perfectly and that you will go home with a host of memories to treasure.

Why take a cruise?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

A cruise holiday is becoming increasingly popular with many people who would like to travel and visit multiple destinations with the minimum of upheaval. There are so many places of interest in the world for us to see that it can be difficult to decide where to go next and how to travel whilst still relaxing and recovering from our already hectic lives. Booking a holiday that involves several destinations can entail unpacking your suitcase and repacking again before moving on to the next port of call. A Nile cruise allows you to travel to several destinations, only unpacking your cases once. This in itself saves you a large amount of time and upheaval.

One of the most interesting countries to visit is Egypt with all the history of the Pharaohs and tombs. A perfect way to visit with minimal upheaval is to book a River Nile cruise. This allows you to visit several places of interest whilst your accommodation moves with you. A cruise can also be relatively cheaper than flying to different destinations as well as all your food and drink usually being included in the price. A River Nile cruise ship will also have plenty of entertainment for you which is also included in the price.

Here at One Small Step we can help you to book a holiday which will allow you to stay within a budget and still travel to several locations. Our luxury River Nile cruises include many of the admission fees and excursion costs within the price of the cruise.

How to Prepare For Your Nile Cruise and Stay Trip

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

If you’re considering going on a Nile cruise and stay trip, it’s always a good idea to prepare in advance to make sure you have the best holiday possible. So, here are just a few things you might want to bear in mind before embarking on your Nile cruise and stay break.

•    Plan your excursions. It’s always an idea to plan ahead so you know where you’re going, as that way you’re not going to miss out on anything you really want to do.
•    Know where you’re staying during the “stay” portion of your Nile cruise and stay trip. You’ll probably have to do some research to see where your ideal destination would be, so don’t leave it to the last minute.
•    Read up in advance. You don’t want to have no idea at all of where you are, so while you’ll want to learn everything you can when you’re out there it’s a good idea to read up on Egypt in advance so you know what to expect.
•    Familiarise yourself with the customs. Similar to the above point, but you want to be aware of any specific customs that you might come into contact with so you don’t offend anyone.
•    Charge you camera! It goes without saying that you’ll see some amazing sights, so make sure that your camera’s good to go.

These are just a few things you might want to do in preparation of your luxury Nile cruise trip. It’s going to be the experience of a lifetime, and if you want help in planning your perfect holiday then make sure to consider us here at One Small Step Travel.
