Egypt Nile Cruise DMC: Cruises, Dahabiyas and Lake Nasser for the Trade

The Nile is where most Egypt itineraries are won or lost, and cruise space is the single hardest part for an overseas operator to manage. As a Category-A licensed Egyptian DMC with a Nile specialism, we handle the vessel side for you — from a single cabin to a full charter.

The fleet we work with

We maintain one of the most complete, operator-attributed directories of the Luxor–Aswan fleet: 68 five-star cruisers and 100-plus dahabiyas, plus Lake Nasser cruisers between Aswan and Abu Simbel. That means we can match a client's standard, budget and dates to the right boat rather than whatever a single operator happens to be selling.

What we handle for operators

• Cabin space and allotment checks across the fleet
• Full-boat charters for groups and incentives
• Group series on fixed departures
• Embarkation and disembarkation logistics, transfers and Egyptologist guiding
• Shore excursions at every stop — Luxor, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan

Cruisers or dahabiyas?

Five-star cruisers suit classic, full-service programmes and larger parties. Dahabiyas — small wind-powered sailing boats — suit boutique, slow-travel and small groups, and are increasingly what luxury clients ask for. We book both, and can advise which fits a given client. See our consumer-facing Nile cruise guide and dahabiya guide for the detail you can share with travellers.

Why route it through us

Fleet knowledge, fast space checks, and one accountable ground contact — instead of chasing individual boats by email. Net and commissionable rates are available on request.
