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.
