Voyage Itinerary
16 December to 19 December
Setting sail from Cairo
We love this noisy, dusty, busy city. Expect a warm welcome everywhere you go - Egypt goes through hard times so often that its tourism industry suffers a constant roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. More or less everyone has a financial interest in ensuring tourists continue to visit, and the country, and Cairo itself, really has so much to offer. The highlight of your stay may well be the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, but don't neglect a visit to the Egyptian Museum, which has a truly stupendous collection of ancient artefacts, including the Tutankhamen treasures.
19 December to 20 December
Egypt: Luxor
Prepare to be amazed – the thin belt of greenery along the banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt gives Luxor a lush setting for an extraordinary collection of tombs, temple complexes and stone structures that hint at the magnificence of this former Ancient Egyptian capital.
21 December
Egypt: Edfu
22 December to 23 December
Egypt: Aswan
Egypt's southernmost city, Aswan, is where the Nile is at its most majestic. Many monuments and sites are within easy reach, such as the temple of Philae and the Aga Khan Mausoleum. The souk is the perfect place to shop for gifts to take home, but also to learn more about the people who shop here daily.
23 December
Egypt: Kom Ombo
24 December
Egypt: Luxor
Prepare to be amazed – the thin belt of greenery along the banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt gives Luxor a lush setting for an extraordinary collection of tombs, temple complexes and stone structures that hint at the magnificence of this former Ancient Egyptian capital.

Arriving in Cairo
We love this noisy, dusty, busy city. Obviously the highlight of your stay may well be the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, but on no account neglect a visit to the Egyptian Museum, which has a truly stupendous collection of ancient artefacts, not least, of course, the Tutankhamen treasures.
Don't miss
It sort of goes without saying, but don’t miss the pyramids and sphinx at Giza, and the Egyptian Museum – even if you don’t normally visit museums.

What are the benefits of a small luxury ship?
Because small ships are able to reach smaller ports of call and provide a higher level of service than their big ship counterparts, we believe that small ship cruising is the very best way to travel. Usually they offer more space per person, and an attentive team to make sure you have the very best experience. Small ship cruising offers the very best of the best.
