Here at River-Nile-Cruises we have an extensive range of Nile cruises. Having been in the business for quite some time now, we fully understand what you want from a river Nile cruise. We know that there are certain factors that can make or break a good cruise. These factors are mainly centred around two main concepts, being quality and variation. We know that to have a great time on a cruise, everything from food to booking processes must be only to the highest standard. We also recognise that the experience, having insights into a different culture, historical monuments and such things are very important.
Our river Nile cruises come within a high quality package. With 4 and 5 star cruises available to book all year round, you are sure of a quality stay. On many of our Nile cruises, food and drink are covered within the price, offering an all inclusive holiday. All food and drink is of course only prepared with passion at mind, with mouth watering dishes available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
On the experience side of things, Egypt really has this covered herself. Once the greatest empire on the Earth, Egypt has some of the most amazing sights on the face of the planet. Not only can you see the great pyramids from the river Nile, but many other breath taking sights. Lake Nasser, a vast and beautiful reservoir, is an absolute must see if you are cruising down the Nile, and this can be fully arranged through us.

The late 1800s to mid 1900s are often cited as the great days of modern discovery in Egypt. Of course, locals had existed around the relics of their ancient civilisation for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until foreigners began to fight over Egyptian lands (the Napoleonic Wars of the early 1800s) that Egypt’s cultural debris and scattered artefacts began to find rejuvenated fame.
On the tails of Napoleon’s own academics, the mid 1800s (well after his defeat) saw fresh interest in the area as the British ruling government took hold. One of the key archaeological figures of this new Egypt was Giovanni Belzoni.
Belzoni was, by trade, both a strongman and an engineer. Both of these trades turned out to be valuable when he was plucked from a jobless, penniless existence (with his English wife, Sarah) to undertake a seemingly impossible task – to move the 7 ton stone head “Rameses II” from Thebes to Cairo. You can still see the head at the British Museum in London. After moving the head, Belzoni and Sarah continued on an impromptu Nile cruise (perhaps one of the first Nile cruises by foreigners simply to seek out artefacts) past Thebes and uncovered Abu Simbel.
Belzoni is often cited as one of the first true Egyptologists dedicated to preservation rather than financial gain.
Our Nile cruise ships are tastefully modern, but if you’d like to experience a trip down the Nile as Belzoni and Sarah experienced, a day trip on an Egyptian felucca is the way to do it.

Egypt is a country of many parts. Some areas are perfect for more active pursuits. For example, certain Red Sea resorts, such as Sharm el Sheikh, are ideal for those who wish to dive, take camel rides through the deserts and so on. Meanwhile, for those who crave a more urban feel while on their Nile cruise and stay, trips to Cairo can be spot on.
However, if you are looking to start or end your Nile cruise with something a little more relaxed and peaceful, you might want to try Hurghada. This is also a Red Sea resort but it has a much more laid back feel to it.
With a 15-mile strip of hotels located along the beach, it is ideal for those who want to relax and soak up the sun and take the occasional dip in the gorgeous blue water. Indeed, many of the hotels have private beaches, meaning they are particularly restful.
Because of the fabulous climate, you are virtually guaranteed clear skies, which is something not many areas around the world can boast.
Incorporating stays in Hurghada into your Nile cruises is the perfect way to unwind and de-stress. You can let the worries of the world wash over you and enjoy some real indulgence.
And by taking a cruise as well while you are on your vacation, you get to see much more than you would on a typical relaxation holiday.

When you set off on a Nile cruise, you might be excited about the prospect. After all, such adventures are the perfect way to indulge in some real relaxation and luxury. Furthermore, you get to see some of the most interesting and beautiful sites Egypt has to offer, and all without having to worry about getting from A to B – after all, we take care of that for you.
One of the places you may choose to visit is Aswan. This is among the most popular spots for holidaymakers and it is not hard to see why. It is described as the country’s sunniest southern city and has a fantastic atmosphere.
Located around 81 miles south of Luxor, which is another fascinating spot, Aswan has a distinctly African culture. Small enough to walk around and situated in a stunning setting on the Nile, the pace of life in the city is slow and easy going.
You can spend time watching the sailing boats with their tall and impressive masts, visit floating restaurants, listen to local music and much more.
In many ways, Nile cruises are at their most picturesque at this point. The river flows through granite rocks and amber desert, creating unbeatable sights.
Of course, there are also many other highlights when you take Egypt Nile cruises. Indeed, there are few breaks that offer such a variety of activities and opportunities. They can make the vacation of a lifetime.
To find out more about the trips we provide, simply take a look around our website.

Our Nile cruises are family friendly affairs with tons of fun excursions and inclusive options for families of all sizes, budgets and motivation levels (because sometimes it’s fine just to sunbathe on deck and watch the world go by for a week!)
Whilst they may manage to fall out of trees unscathed, children are very susceptible to UV damage from the sun, and can burn in less than fifteen minutes. Sun damage early in life can have lasting ramifications.
1. Apply sunscreen of 30SPF or higher during daylight hours for the entire trip. Sand and water can intensify the effects of the sun, so even just sitting out on deck briefly could be harmful.
2. Remember to cover spots you might not think of – the eyelids, lips, ears and feet being main culprits for sunburn. Sunglasses will help protect your children’s eyes from the sun, reducing the likelihood of headaches.
3. Cover as much skin as possible using clothes. Loose fitting linen or cotton clothes are ideal. Opt for long sleeved loose shirts and long shorts or trousers. If you can get them to keep it on, a sunhat is ideal and can help protect the head, neck and face from sunburn.
4. Our Nile cruise ships all have plenty of shade and cool spots, so make sure your little ones spend as much time as possible out of direct sunlight both on board and on excursions.
5. Give them their own SPF stick in a funky colour to draw patterns and make sun protection a little more fun!
