Overview

Sail from Luxor to Aswan on a 5-star Nile cruise showcasing Egypt’s most iconic treasures in one seamless journey. Begin at the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built, then step into Luxor Temple glowing in the golden afternoon light. Drift above the West Bank in a hot air balloon, walk among the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, explore Hatshepsut’s Temple, and gaze at the Colossi of Memnon. As the cruise sails south, marvel at the Temple of Horus in Edfu and stand before Kom Ombo’s twin gods. Arrive in Aswan to see the modern marvel of the High Dam and the enchanting Philae Temple. For the finale, venture into the desert to witness the colossal rock-cut temples of Abu Simbel — one of Egypt’s greatest sights. Between adventures, relax on deck with Nile views, savor freshly prepared meals, and enjoy onboard entertainment. With a licensed Egyptologist bringing each site to life, this journey is more than a cruise — it’s Egypt at its most unforgettable.
