Take the whole boat

10 cabins · up to 32 guests · whole boat from about US$3,817 a night

About US$3,817 a night for the whole boat, or roughly US$22,902 for a six-night sailing.

A boat this size carries a reunion or a celebration: grandparents, parents and children aboard together, the run of the deck, and one bill at the end. Tell us your dates and party size and we will price the whole of Nile Majestic.

That is the arithmetic of Nile Majestic's own published cabin fares, not a quoted charter rate. Operators price exclusive use separately, and usually below the sum of the cabins, so tell us your dates and we will come back with the real figure.

What this figure is, and is not

The published figure may be a low-season or triple-occupancy rate rather than the year-round double.
Converted from the currency the operator quotes in, so it moves with the exchange rate.
The published figure is quoted per person, 7-night, which does not multiply into a trip total.
Rates move with season, cabin and departure. We quote every sailing live, and there is no booking fee to ask.
