A luxury Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan is the most refined way to experience ancient Egypt. Aboard a 5-star cruise ship, you sail through millennia of history with a private Egyptologist guiding every step — while returning each evening to world-class dining, elegant cabins with panoramic Nile views, and the kind of personal attention that transforms a journey into a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Around Egypt Tours presents an exclusive collection of luxury Nile cruises for 2026/2027, featuring the finest ships sailing the Nile today — including the Soleil Nile Cruise, Sonesta Sun, Le Fayan Suites, Historia, and more elite vessels selected for their exceptional onboard standards, service quality, and guest experience.
Every luxury cruise includes a fully private tour experience with a dedicated licensed Egyptologist, premium all-inclusive dining prepared by trained chefs, and spacious cabin accommodation with private balconies or floor-to-ceiling Nile-view windows. Passenger numbers are kept intentionally low — typically 40 to 60 guests — ensuring quieter Luxor and Aswan temple visits, more attentive service, and a genuinely exclusive experience from the moment you board.
Luxury Nile cruise prices start from $899 per person based on double occupancy, including all meals, a private Egyptologist guide, and all temple entrance fees. Summer and winter rates are available — contact our team for a personalised quote with current cabin availability.
