Private Guide Our Egyptologist guide
will join you on board. This means that you do
the sightseeing tours either with your own private guide or with one of our
small groups and a guide that you know, rather than joining one of the large
parties with the rest of the boat. Our guide is also at your
service during the cruise to help with any problems with your cabin, dietary
requirements at mealtimes, or just to sit and talk with you about Egypt and its
wonders.
5 Star Ships We use several 5 star cruise boats on the Nile, and will inform you
which boat we use at the time of reservation. You will
have an en-suite, air-conditioned cabin and full use of all the boats facilities such as restaurants, sun deck, swimming pool, etc. There
is a large selection of beverages (adult and non-alcoholic) available
at the bar.

Dress
Code
During the daytime, while enjoying the tours, you
can wear whatever you like, though due to the extreme heat it is recommended
you wear lightweight clothes. While relaxing on board you may wear shorts
and swimming costumes, if you wish. Breakfast and lunch can be taken dressed
like this, but for dinner, please wear smarter clothes!
How to pay your Extras All extras
such as drink, laundry, and telephones bills, should be settled on the last
day of your cruise at checkout time. Payment can be made with credit cards,
traveller’s cheque, or cash. Make sure you have enough cash, just in
case your card is not working properly.
We recommend visiting a bank, to change
your money, before cruising, as most of the cruise boats do not offer this
facility.
Tipping
Don’t forget to leave tips for the cruise staff of no less than $3 per person per day. Hand an envelope to reception and the cruise manager will distribute the
money fairly. This does not include tips to your Tour
Guide, and it is entirely up to you to decide the size of tip that you will
give to him/her.
Check-In/Out Check in is at 12:00 p.m. and
Checkout is at 08:00 a.m.
Clothing
During the daytime, while
enjoying the tours, you can wear whatever you like, though due to the
extreme heat it is recommended you wear lightweight clothes. While relaxing
on board you may wear shorts and swimming costumes, if you wish. Apply
plenty of high factor sun block!
General
For practical reasons on the Nile, the
cruise may be subject to slight alterations at short notice while you are in
Egypt. Most sailing is done during the day, but during some periods some
sailing may be required after dark.
At busy periods the boat may be
required to wait for a short time to get through the lock on the Nile at
Esna.
Upon checking
in on the cruise boat, it is advisable to leave your valuables in a safety
deposit box. This will be available either in the reception, or a private
safe in your cabin.
