Nile River Cruises

A Nile River cruise holiday is a wonderfully relaxed way to experience Egypt’s most famous sights. Watch majestic Egyptian sunrises and sunsets over the glistening Nile as you sail past breathtaking landscapes and historic structures. Enjoy tasty food and have sightseeing with expert guides arranged for you, all while unpacking just once.

Nile cruises travel between Luxor and Aswan, lasting between three and seven nights. Along the way they call in at fascinating sites such as Edfu and Kom Ombo, with guided excursions offering insight into Egypt’s remarkable history. Visitors can explore well-preserved temples and monuments before returning to the comfort of the ship.

On board, Nile cruise ships feature comfortable cabins, inviting communal spaces and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. For those seeking a more traditional experience, some guided group adventure tours sail on authentic feluccas - classic Egyptian sailing boats that offer a simpler, more rustic style of accommodation. Our expert travel consultants are on hand to guide you through the different ships and their varying features. Whether enjoyed as part of a wider holiday or as a journey in its own right, a Nile River cruise combines sightseeing, scenery and relaxation for a truly memorable experience.

Trailfinders offers a range of Nile River cruise holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you dream of drifting along Africa’s most iconic river on a traditional felucca, a sociable cruise incorporated in your guided group tour or cruising in comfort aboard a luxurious ship – they are the perfect people to ask.
