Egypt Tour Packages with Luxury Nile Cruise
A Luxury Nile Cruise holiday pairs perfectly with more of Egypt before or after your time on the river. Combine your Luxury Nile Cruise with an Egypt tour package to see more of the country in one luxury Egypt vacation. The WOW Team can build complete Egypt tour packages with a Luxury Nile cruise by duration, or luxury Nile cruise vacation packages by category, including family, honeymoon, classic and group options, combined with any of the following:
Cairo and the Pyramids
Add nights in Cairo before or after your cruise to visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar. A domestic flight connects Cairo to Luxor or Aswan in about one hour, turning your trip into a complete Cairo and Luxury Nile Cruise package, also called a Cairo to Luxor Luxury Nile cruise or a Cairo to Aswan 5 star luxury Nile cruise.
Alexandria
Combine your cruise with a private tour of Alexandria, visiting the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Montaza Palace gardens, as a day trip from Cairo or an overnight extension.

Nile Cruise Luxury vs Ultra Deluxe vs Deluxe
Every Luxor Aswan Nile Cruise falls into one of four categories: Standard, Deluxe, Ultra Deluxe and Luxury, and comparing a Luxury Nile Cruise vs other categories is simple. All four include the same private Egyptologist guide, private vehicle, full board and entrance fees, so the difference is entirely the ship.
Luxury vs ultra deluxe Nile cruises: An Ultra Deluxe Nile Cruise offers superior cabins, elegant lounges and refined dining at an upper premium price. A Luxury Nile Cruise adds suites, full-width balconies, fine dining, a higher crew-to-guest ratio and a spa on selected ships.
Deluxe vs luxury Nile cruises: A Deluxe Nile Cruise offers balcony cabins and upgraded dining at a mid-range price. A 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise gives you the highest level of space, service and dining on the river, which is why it is the top choice for a high end 5 star Nile cruise.
Nile cruise standard vs luxury: A Standard Nile Cruise is the lowest priced option, with comfortable private cabins and full board. Luxury ships cover the same temples with the same private guide, with far more space, comfort and service on board.

Luxury Nile Cruise FAQs
These Luxury Nile Cruise frequently asked questions cover prices, routes, suites, facilities and booking for our 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruises between Luxor and Aswan.
How long is a Luxury Nile Cruise?
A 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise runs for either 4 days/3 nights or 5 days/4 nights, depending on the direction of travel. The 4 Days/3 Nights Aswan to Luxor Luxury Nile Cruise departs from Aswan every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and sails north to Luxor. The 5 Days/4 Nights Luxor to Aswan Luxury Nile Cruise departs from Luxor every Monday, Thursday and Saturday and sails south to Aswan. Both itineraries visit the same core temples and monuments along the Nile River Valley, and the longer itinerary allows a more relaxed pace between sites.
What sites are visited on a 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise?
The Luxury Nile Cruise visits Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the Temple of Kom Ombo, Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk and the Aswan High Dam. An Abu Simbel excursion and more Luxor or Aswan sites can be added as optional extras.
Is a Luxury Nile Cruise a 5 star Nile cruise?
Yes. Every ship in our Luxury program is a licensed 5 star luxury cruise boat. Within the 5 star rating, Nile cruise ships are grouped into Standard, Deluxe, Ultra Deluxe and Luxury categories. A Luxury Nile Cruise is the highest category, with suites, full-width balconies and fine dining, above a Standard Nile Cruise, a Deluxe Nile Cruise and an Ultra Deluxe Nile Cruise.
What is the difference between ultra deluxe and luxury Nile cruises?
The difference is the ship. An Ultra Deluxe Nile Cruise offers superior cabins, elegant lounges and refined dining at an upper premium price. A Luxury Nile Cruise adds suites, full-width balconies, fine dining, a higher crew-to-guest ratio and a spa on selected ships. Both include the same private Egyptologist guide, private vehicle, full board, entrance fees and the same temples.
What is a royal Nile cruise?
A royal Nile cruise is a name often used for the most exclusive 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise ships on the river, with the largest suites, the finest dining and the highest level of personal service. The WOW Team selects these ships for our Nile cruise 5 star luxury and royal program, so you get the finest experience on the Nile.
Is a Luxury Nile Cruise different from a Dahabiya Nile Cruise?
Yes, they are very different experiences. A Luxury Nile Cruise is a 5 star motorized ship with suites, a pool, a spa on selected ships and larger public areas, on a fixed weekly schedule. It docks at the main cruise moorings in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. A Dahabiya Nile Cruise is a traditional sailing boat with only a handful of guests, mooring at quiet islands and villages and moving at a slower pace. Both include the same private Egyptologist guide, private air-conditioned vehicle, full board and all entrance fees. Many travelers choose to combine both for the full Nile experience.
How much does a 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise cost?
5 star luxury Nile cruise rates start from $1,200 per person on the 4 Days/3 Nights Aswan to Luxor itinerary. The 5 day Luxor to Aswan Luxury Nile Cruise price varies by ship and suite type. Luxury Nile cruise costs depend on the suite or cabin type, season, departure schedule and cruise ship, with higher rates at Christmas, New Year and Easter. All prices include a Private Professional Egyptologist Guide, private transfers, full board and all entrance fees. There are no hidden costs.
What is included in a Luxury Nile Cruise package?
Every Luxury Nile Cruise package through WOW Egypt Tours includes a Private Professional Egyptologist Guide for all temple and site visits and a private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for all transfers. It also includes full-board fine dining with breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, a private luxury cabin or suite with en-suite bathroom and balcony, and all entrance fees to every site on the itinerary. Bottled water during tours and transfers, and all service charges and taxes, are included too. Domestic flights between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan can be added when required. There are no hidden costs.
What is the best luxury Nile cruise?
For travelers who want the finest experience on the river, a 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise is the best luxury Nile cruise in Egypt. The 5 day Luxury Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan is the most popular choice. The 4 day Luxury Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor is the lowest priced option.
Which Luxury Nile Cruise ships are available and what are the departure days?
The WOW Team selects 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise ships based on your travel dates, group size and preferences, and confirms the exact ship and suite when you book. A luxury 5 star Nile cruise from Luxor departs every Monday, Thursday and Saturday. A luxury 5 star Nile cruise from Aswan departs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Is a Luxury Nile Cruise suitable for families and children?
Yes. Luxury ships offer suites and spacious cabins with room for families on selected ships, a pool, full-board dining and a structured daily schedule with shore visits spread across the itinerary. The WOW Team advises on child pricing and cabin sharing options for your travel dates. Children aged 2 to 5 are charged a reduced rate, and children under 2 travel free when sharing a cabin with parents. A family Luxury Nile cruise vacation can also be combined with Cairo or the Red Sea.
Is a Luxury Nile Cruise suitable for couples and honeymooners?
Yes. Luxury ships offer suites with full-width balconies for couples, and the daily sightseeing is private throughout, with no shared group tours. A luxury Nile cruise honeymoon is one of the most popular Egypt honeymoon experiences. The WOW Team can arrange birthday, anniversary or honeymoon surprises when requested at booking.
Do Luxury Nile Cruise ships have WiFi, a spa and a swimming pool?
Every 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise ship offers air conditioning in all cabins and suites, a private en-suite bathroom, a sun deck with loungers, a lounge and bar and a swimming pool. A spa or wellness area is available on selected ships, and WiFi is available in public areas on most ships. The WOW Team confirms the on-board facilities of your ship when arranging your booking.
What is the food like on a Luxury Nile Cruise?
All meals are served on a full-board basis: breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Luxury ships offer fine dining in a premium restaurant, combining Egyptian and international dishes with the highest quality ingredients and elegant presentation. Vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free meals can be arranged when requested at booking. Bottled water is included during tours and transfers.
When is the best time to take a Luxury Nile Cruise?
Luxury Nile Cruises depart year round. The most comfortable months are October through April, when temperatures along the Nile are mild and ideal for sightseeing. May through September brings intense heat in Upper Egypt, but cruises still operate and the sites are far less crowded. Christmas, New Year and Easter are peak periods with higher prices and earlier booking requirements. The WOW Team advises on the best dates for your preferences and budget.
Do I need to book a Luxury Nile Cruise in advance?
Yes. 5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise ships have a limited number of suites, and they sell out well ahead in peak seasons, including October to April, Christmas, New Year and Easter. The WOW Team recommends booking as early as possible to secure your preferred suite and departure date. Send your travel dates for 2026, 2027 or 2028, and the team will confirm availability and hold your cabin promptly.
How do I book a Luxury Nile Cruise and how does payment work?
Send the WOW Team your travel dates, group size and preferred cabin or suite type through the contact page, WhatsApp or email. Availability is confirmed promptly, and a 25% deposit secures your cabin, guide, transfers and sightseeing. The remaining balance can be paid in full or in installments, no later than 7 days before the cruise date. An official invoice is issued for every payment, and cancellation more than 75 days before the cruise date is free.
Can I add Abu Simbel to a Luxury Nile Cruise?
Yes. A private day trip or overnight stay at the Abu Simbel Temples can be added to any Luxury Nile Cruise from Aswan, by road or by flight. You can also combine your cruise with a Lake Nasser Cruise to reach Abu Simbel by water. The WOW Team coordinates the full itinerary from Luxor to Abu Simbel as one seamless package.
Can I book a Luxury Nile Cruise from Cairo or combine it with other Egypt destinations?
Yes. A 5 star luxury Nile cruise package from Cairo adds domestic flights and transfers, so a Luxury Nile cruise holiday from Cairo or a high end Nile cruise tour from Cairo is easy to arrange. You can also include Cairo and the Pyramids, Alexandria, Hurghada and the Red Sea, or extra nights in Luxor and Aswan. The WOW Team builds complete Egypt tours with a luxury Nile cruise, connecting every destination with private transfers and domestic flights.
What should I pack for a Luxury Nile Cruise?
Bring your passport, comfortable walking shoes for temple visits, sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, light breathable clothing for daytime, a light jacket or sweater for evenings on deck between October and April, smart casual or elegant wear for dinner on board, swimwear for the pool, personal medication, and some cash for personal expenses or optional tipping.

Frequent Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most asked questions.
This FAQ covers core Egypt travel facts: visa on arrival and e-visa options, safety and health basics, average trip costs and cash/card tips, best months by region, what to wear and pack, local customs and public holidays, weather by season, official language and useful phrases, mobile data/Wi-Fi and SIM cards, transport (flights, trains, taxis, ride-hailing), tipping norms, and guidance for solo travelers and families. Use it to plan quickly and avoid surprises.
Getting into Egypt is genuinely easy. Most nationalities receive a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada airports for just USD 30, paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. If you prefer to sort it before you fly, Egypt's official e-Visa takes 3 to 5 business days and costs the same amount. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. When you book with WOW Egypt Tours, your dedicated advisor confirms your exact visa route before anything else, so there is no guesswork on your end.
Absolutely. WOW Egypt Tours specialises in shore excursions from Egypt's main cruise ports including Alexandria for Cairo and the Pyramids, Port Said for Cairo, Safaga for Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and Sokhna. Your guide meets you directly at the dock, the itinerary is timed precisely to get you back well before all-aboard, and everything runs in a private vehicle with no waiting around. Just share your ship name, port of call, and docking time when you get in touch and we handle the rest.
Start with a message through our contact page, WhatsApp, or email at booking@WOWEgyptTours.com. From that first message you will deal with one dedicated advisor who designs the itinerary, answers every question, and manages your trip from start to finish. A deposit secures your dates and the balance can be paid before arrival or on arrival in Egypt, depending on the package. Your advisor confirms the available payment methods for your specific booking. There are no surprise charges along the way.
This is genuinely what we do best. Through our tailor-made experience, your advisor starts from scratch with your travel dates, the destinations you care about, the pace you prefer, your accommodation style, and your budget, then builds an itinerary around all of it. Want to add a sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor, a private yacht on the Nile, a marriage proposal at Abu Simbel, a family trip mapped around your children's interests, or a wheelchair-accessible route through the Pyramids? All of it is possible and all of it has been done before.
Think light, breathable, and modest. Loose cotton or linen clothing works brilliantly in the heat and dries fast. Inside temples, mosques, and religious sites, covered shoulders and knees are required, so a lightweight scarf or wrap folds into any bag and solves the problem instantly. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes matter more than you might expect as ancient surfaces are uneven. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are non-negotiable in summer. A small reusable water bottle is a good idea everywhere. For desert or Sinai trips, pack a warm layer as nights drop sharply once the sun goes down.
