As far as river cruises are concerned, there can only be a few – if any – that capture the imagination more than a voyage along the Egyptian stretch of the majestic River Nile. At about 4,160 miles in length, the Nile is one of the longest rivers in the world. The sheer scale of this natural wonder is put into perspective when you consider that an astonishing eleven countries share its water resources. Its huge size truly is unfathomable and has to be seen to be believed, which you can do with our all inclusive packages.
No country is more synonymous with the Nile than Egypt; it has played an extremely important role in the civilisation, life and history of the Egyptian nation. Running through the heart of the country and providing much-needed irrigation, its major cities grace the banks of the river as they have done for thousands of years. This makes all inclusive River Nile cruise packages a popular choice for those looking for the perfect vantage point to experience the country’s rich history and magnificent splendour. Let Classic Holidays take you on a curated journey through ancient Egypt. With our expertise and attention to detail, your Egypt experience will be more than just a holiday, it will be a story worth telling for years to come.
You can now combine your cruise with a visit to Cairo’s spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, recently opened beside the Pyramids and home to the complete Tutankhamun collection.
