Day 1 : Aswan/Embark Ship

Arrive on your 5-star deluxe Nile cruise boat, the “Nile Adventurer”, moored in our private dock in Aswan. Captain’s Cocktail Party: Tonight you will be greeted by your Boat Manager, who will introduce you to the boat staff and review on-board facilities and your cruise program for the next few days. Complimentary Egyptian wine and local beer will be served, together with a selection of canapés.
Entertainment: Exact entertainment schedules during your cruise are adjusted according to the needs of each group and the exact sailing schedule of the boat, and, therefore, the day of each feature is subject to change. However, every cruise on the Nile Adventurer will include:
§ An authentic folkloric performance.
§ A “Galabeya party” with an opportunity for each guest to dress up in traditional Egyptian costume and dance to Arabic music.

Day 2 : Cruise to Kom Ombo and Edfu

Kom Ombo Temple: Visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to the crocodile-god Sobek. The temple stands at a bend in the Nile where in ancient times sacred crocodiles basked in the sun on the riverbank.
Edfu Temple: This afternoon, explore the largest and most completely preserved Pharaonic – albeit Greek-built – temple in Egypt, the extraordinary Temple of Horus at Edfu.

Day 3 : Arrive Luxor. Visit Valley of the Kings and Queens and other sites

Morning: Valley of the Kings & Queens: Begin your day with a visit to the West Bank of Luxor to explore the Valley of the Kings, a vast City of the Dead where magnificent tombs were carved into the desert rocks, decorated richly, and filled with treasures for the afterlife by generations of Pharaohs. You will also have the chance to visit at least one tomb in the Valley of the Queens.
Hatshepsut Temple: Rising out of the desert plain in a series of terraces, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Ancient Egypt’s only female Pharaoh) merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it, as if nature herself had built this extraordinary monument.
Photostop Colossi of Memnon: On the way back to the river Nile, your road passes by the famed Colossi of Memnon, known in Ancient Greek times for their haunting voices at dawn.
Luxor Temple: This afternoon your Egyptologist will guide you on a tour of the East Bank of Luxor, starting with the strikingly graceful Temple of Luxor dedicated to the god Amun.
Karnak Temple: Proceed to the Temple of Karnak, built over more than a thousand years by generations of Pharaohs. The great “Hypostyle Hall” is an incredible forest of giant pillars, covering an area larger than the whole of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Day 4 : Disembark and Fly Cairo

Your Tour Coordinator will escort you to Luxor airport for your brief return flight to Cairo.
Arrival Cairo domestic airport & transfer to your hotel

  Luxurious common areas

A cruise on the Nile should be a magical and enchanting experience. And with the M.S. Nile Adventurer, it becomes exactly that. An intimate and luxurious haven, with only 32 cabins and offering three and four night cruises.

The exquisite style of the boat takes its inspiration from thousands of years of both Pharaonic and modern Egyptian culture and heritage. Elegant yet cozy, sophisticated yet homely, the Nile Adventurer will cocoon you in warm splendor as you sail down the Nile on your mystical journey.

Accommodations
The Sanctuary M.S. Nile Adventurer is a floating ethnic paradise with 32 beautifully designed cabins. The two presidential suites, two deluxe cabins and 28 standard cabins have all been created with guests’ comfort in mind. Spacious rooms and modern state of the art bathrooms are the hallmarks of each cabin.

All cabins are fully air-conditioned with individual control, and have Nile view plus private bathroom with bathtub, shower and hairdryer, mini bar and LCD television with satellite. International telephone access is available through the reception.

Facilities
Launched in 1990 and last renovated in 2009, the Nile Adventurer has an upper sun deck with swimming pool, a shaded deck with an outdoor bar and a Lounge Bar Terrace. The restaurant is spacious and seats 75.

In addition, there is a library and games room with computer and internet access. Along with a gymnasium and a massage room, there is also a gift shop and laundry services. For guests wishing to relax there is room service, in addition to a sun deck snack bar.

For added comfort, there is a no smoking policy throughout the boat, except on the open decks. A no mobile phone policy operates throughout the internal public areas of the boat to ensure relaxation.

Dining Aboard the Nile Adventurer
International cuisine as well as local flavor ensures that the chef and staff cater to all tastes. Sumptuous buffets, elegant a-la-carte dinners, extensive local and international wine lists and open deck barbecues are all offered. Expert chefs can also cater to specific dietary needs of guests.

Environment and Responsible Travel
Strict recycling and hygiene procedures are followed on board, minimizing impact on the local environment. In addition, the Nile Adventurer has cleaned and made extensive alterations to one of the docking areas in the area – transforming an informal rubbish dump into a small garden. This exemplifies how the crew always strives to promote a greener, cleaner Egypt.
