Overview
For all recorded time, the mighty waters of Egypt’s Nile River have been the source of life-giving sustenance, cultural riches, and mythic power. Immerse yourself in both the ancient treasures—which continue to be unearthed each month—and present-day Egypt. See the iconic pyramids in Giza, visit the stunning temples at Abu Simbel, and delve deeply into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.
Begin the journey in Cairo with a visit to the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau and exclusive access to the paws of the Great Sphinx. You will also have ample time to explore the recently opened Grand Egyptian Museum. After a morning visit to Abu Simbel, continue on a charter flight to Aswan and embark aboard the Nile Adventurer for a four-night Nile cruise highlighting the ancient wonders of Egypt.

Extensively renovated in 2019, this elegant 32-cabin vessel blends contemporary Egyptian design with the nation’s 7,000-year-old heritage.
