Nile Cruise Deluxe vs Ultra Deluxe vs Luxury
Every Luxor Aswan Nile Cruise falls into one of four categories: Standard, Deluxe, Ultra Deluxe and Luxury, and comparing an Ultra Deluxe 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.
Ultra deluxe vs deluxe Nile cruises: A Deluxe Nile Cruise offers balcony cabins and upgraded dining at a mid-range price. An Ultra Deluxe Nile Cruise adds bigger superior cabins, more elegant public areas, more refined dining and more attentive service.
Ultra deluxe vs luxury Nile cruises: A Luxury Nile Cruise adds suites, fine dining and the highest level of service, at a much higher price. A 5 Star Super Deluxe Nile Cruise gives near-luxury comfort for less, which is why it is the most popular upper premium 5 star Nile cruise.
Nile cruise standard vs ultra deluxe: A Standard Nile Cruise is the lowest priced option, with comfortable private cabins and full board. Ultra Deluxe ships give you far more space, comfort and on-board facilities for the same temples and the same private guide.
