Nile Cruises

Luxury Nile Cruises, Chosen Ship by Ship

A Nile cruise is the most graceful way to see Upper Egypt. Your hotel moves with you between Luxor and Aswan, the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo arrive at the riverbank, and every evening ends on deck as the light turns gold over the water. We have sailed on every ship in our collection, and we only recommend the ones we would book for our own families.

Three ways to sail the Nile

• Luxury Nile Cruises: the finest five-star ships on the river, with spacious suites, private balconies, fine dining and a calm, unhurried pace.
• Deluxe Nile Cruises: elegant, well-run ships with excellent service and comfortable cabins, ideal for a classic four-night or three-night sailing.
• Dahabiya Nile Cruises: traditional sailing boats with only a handful of cabins, mooring at quiet islands where large ships cannot stop. Discover ships such as the Amoura Dahabiya.

Nile cruises as part of a complete journey

Most of our guests combine the river with Cairo and Giza. Our Egypt Nile cruise packages pair four nights on MS Le Fayan with private access to the Great Pyramid, while the 14-day private journey spends seven nights on the Nile. For the most intimate experience, our 12-day dahabiya journey sails from Luxor to Aswan with a private Egyptologist on board.

Why book your Nile cruise with iLuxury Egypt

Every sailing includes a private Egyptologist, guided visits to each temple, and transfers arranged for you from the airport to the gangway. We know which cabins have the best views, which ships moor closest to the temples, and which departures avoid the busiest days. Add private access to the Pyramids before or after your cruise, and let us shape the rest around you.
