Related FAQs

If you cancel the tour, do you offer a refund?

Yes, refunds are available depending on the timing of your cancellation. The earlier you notify us, the more flexible the refund terms will be. This is because Nile Cruises, hotels, and domestic flight tickets have their own policies. In most cases, partial or full refunds are possible if you cancel within the set timeframe, but last-minute cancellations may result in service charges or non-refundable deposits.

Can I make changes to this tour?

Absolutely. Our tours are designed with flexibility in mind, so you can adjust travel dates, upgrade your cabin, or even extend your stay before or after the cruise. Small adjustments, like changing optional tours or meal plans, are also possible, though availability and price differences may apply. The earlier you request changes, the smoother the process will be.

Can I add extra excursions to the Nile Cruise itinerary?

Yes, and this is one of the best parts of the journey. Alongside the classic visits to Luxor, Aswan, and the temples along the Nile, you can add optional excursions like a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, a visit to the Nubian villages in Aswan, or even a day trip to Abu Simbel. These experiences bring extra magic to your itinerary and can be arranged in advance or sometimes even on board.

What is the best time of year to take a Nile Cruise?

The most popular seasons are fall (September to November) and spring (March to May), when the weather is pleasantly warm, making sightseeing comfortable. Winter (December to February) is also a favorite, with cooler evenings and fewer crowds, perfect for those who enjoy mild temperatures. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, but if you enjoy fewer tourists and great deals, it might be the right time for you.

Is a Nile Cruise all-inclusive?

Most Nile Cruises operate on a full-board basis, meaning your accommodation, daily sightseeing, and meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are included. Drinks, optional excursions, tips, and personal expenses are usually not part of the package. Some luxury cruises do offer all-inclusive plans with beverages and special services, so it’s worth checking the details of your specific ship.

What should I pack for a Nile Cruise?

Pack light, breathable clothing for the daytime and a light jacket or shawl for cooler evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for temple visits, along with a sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect you from the Egyptian sun. Don’t forget a swimsuit if you plan to relax by the pool on board, and a smart casual outfit for evening dinners. A small backpack is also useful for carrying water, cameras, and personal items during excursions.
