Egypt River Cruising
It's front-row viewing as your privately chartered ship glides along Egypt's legendary Nile River, where 5,000 years of ancient history line its shores.

Seeing is believing when it comes to these storied sites, including the legendary Valley of the Kings & Queens.

A Day on the Nile
Temples, Tombs & Treasures
Discover the mysteries of the iconic temples of the Middle East. Marvel at the grandeur of the Temple of Edfu, which was buried under sand and silt for centuries until its rediscovery in the nineteenth century. Luxor Temple is a striking monument dating back to 1392 BCE and completed by Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Karnak Temple is a vast temple complex where pharaohs would add their own constructions. Philae Temple, an island-based temple complex, is famed for its beauty which can only be accessed by water taxi.
Limited Local Beverages with Dinner
Aboard the MS Moon Goddess, enjoy a buffet breakfast and lunch, with a la carte in the evening, which will allow you to explore and savour traditional local flavours. From vegetable tagines, grilled fish, koshari (mix of chickpea, pasta, fried onions) salads, soups and more, you'll sample the most delicious international dishes. Relax on the top deck where you can delight in afternoon tea, and on some occasions, a sizzling barbeque. Coffee and tea will be included after meals, and limited local beverages are included with dinner.
Evening Entertainment
Seize the opportunity to experience a Galabeya party with the chance to wear Egyptian attire and dance to traditional music. You also have the option to witness a Nubian Folklore performance with a cacophony of drums, fiddles, lutes, and other percussive instruments. Toast to your journey at the Captain's Welcome with a signature cocktail.
Felucca Trip on the Nile
Board an Egyptian felucca, which is a traditional wooden sailing boat. Glide alongside the riverfront of Aswan and the garden oasis of El Nabatat Island. This small bit of paradise is covered with rare and exotic flora which were planted by the order of Lord Horatio Kitchener in 1899. The botanic garden provides a stark contrast to the surrounding sandy backdrop.
