About Classic Holidays
UK’s Leading Nile Cruise Specialists
At Classic Holidays our work is underpinned by respectability, openness, honesty and a dedication to service. Classic Holidays is a 5* holiday specialist working with some of the finest properties and we are committed to providing you with all of the information you need to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime.
With the backing of the Co-op Travel Consortium, we have enormous buying power so you can be assured of the best prices and special offers, alongside the personalised service you would expect from a specialist. This support helps us secure excellent rates, access to trusted suppliers, and the confidence that your holiday is being arranged with strong financial protection and robust standards behind the scenes.
We still focus on what matters most: clear and detailed itineraries, honest advice, and a high standard of care from your first enquiry to your return home.
Award Winning Travel
The Co-op Travel Consortium sits within the wider co-operative movement, a long established approach to doing business that is built on putting customers first and doing things better. Following the merger of Midcounties Co-operative and Central England Co-operative, the Co-op Travel Consortium continues to provide a strong and trusted foundation for our holidays.
The co-operative movement was first established in 1844 and has grown over generations by focusing on fairness, transparency and community benefit. That heritage aligns closely with what we believe customers should receive when booking a holiday: straightforward guidance, reliable support, and excellent value that does not compromise on quality.
Being supported by a co-operative travel network gives us the freedom to focus on delivering better holidays, backed by experience, scale and dependable customer standards.
Values and Principles
The co-operative movement is governed by values and principles that guide co-operative enterprises around the world. These values help shape the standards we work to and the way we look after our customers. The four key values are:
Democracy, Openness, Equality and Social Responsibility.
At Classic Holidays, these principles translate into a simple promise. We will be open about what is included, clear about your options, and honest about what will work best for your trip. We believe in treating customers fairly and consistently, and in providing support that is practical and responsive.
We also believe travel should be a force for good, by supporting local communities and encouraging responsible tourism. From helping you choose the right itinerary to ensuring you have the right information before you travel, our goal is to make your holiday smooth, memorable and confidently arranged.
Once In A Lifetime Holidays In Egypt
We are able to work with some of the best accommodation in Egypt. We still handpick each hotel to ensure it upholds the 5* standards we expect, in stunning locations such as Cairo, El Gouna, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Luxor, all of which feature within our Nile cruise and multi centre holidays.
Our dedication to respectability, openness and honesty, alongside our focus on customer service, means we will furnish you with all of the information you need to enjoy a 5* holiday at the best possible price. We provide well rounded, descriptive itineraries that outline exactly how you can spend your time, with carefully chosen hotels and accommodation in spectacular settings. Each has its own special features, designed to create a unique holiday experience.
Snorkel and scuba dive through vibrant coral reefs on the Red Sea, explore Cairo by day and enjoy its atmosphere by night, or sail down the magical River Nile to experience one of the world’s most remarkable ancient treasures. Our Nile cruises are five star experiences, with options from 7 to 21 nights of luxury, meandering along the banks of the Nile and visiting Egypt’s best destinations.
All of our agents are well respected and undergo rigorous training programmes to ensure that every last detail suits your needs. You can be safe in the knowledge that your holiday will be planned with care from start to finish.
