Nile Cruise from Hurghada

" * " indicates required fields

Day 1 – Nile Cruise from Hurghada Begins

On the day your 4-night Nile cruise from Hurghada is set to begin, one of our tour representatives will meet you at your hotel at about 07h00. You will then be driven to Luxor in one of our clean and modern air-conditioned vehicles. The journey from Hurghada to Luxor takes roughly 4 hours. Free bottled water will be available to you in the vehicle. If you need to use the rest room or you want to buy some refreshments along the way, just let your driver know.

Your actual Nile Cruise from Hurghada begins short after you arrive in Luxor. You will be driven directly to the port area where you will be boarding your cruise. After boarding and checking in, you will have some free time to settle in. At around 13h00 you will be able to enjoy your first good lunch on the boat.

Shortly after lunch, you will disembark with other members of your tour group, and then you will go visit the two most famous ancient attractions on Luxor’s East Bank, the beautiful Luxor Temple, and the vast Karnak Temple complex which was essentially once an entire city of temples that formed over a period of more than 2,000 years.

After your tour, return to the ship and enjoy some afternoon tea and an authentic Egyptian Belly Dance Show. Dinner will be served in the evening and then you will have the rest of the night to yourself. Enjoy some dancing in the ship’s disco, or simply relax and unwind.

The first night of your Nile cruise from Hurghada will be spent on the water at Luxor.

Meals Included: Lunch and Dinner

Day 2 – Luxor West Bank Tour and Cruise to Esna

Begin the second day of your MS Salacia Nile Cruise from Hurghada with a nice breakfast on the water at Luxor, and then you will head to the Luxor West Bank with your small group and your guide to see another 3 wonderful ancient sites, starting with Valley of the Kings.

Valley of the Kings was a royal necropolis where pharaohs and certain influential nobles of the New Kingdom were laid to rest in rock-cut tombs. Some of these consist only of a simple burial chamber, while others a complex maze of chambers and passageways. Like the pyramids, nearly all of the tombs were raided and looted in antiquity, with Tutankhamen’s tomb being one of the only ones which was discovered still sealed, with everything still inside, including his mummy.

Next, you will visit the ancient rock-cut mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a vast complex that was constructed by the same workers who constructed and decorated the tombs at Valley of the Kings. You will also visit the huge Colossi of Memnon on your way back to your cruise ship.

There are no further tours or excursions today, so once you have had your lunch, you will be free to enjoy the rest of your day as you wish while you sail to Esna. Enjoy afternoon tea at the regular time, and today there will also be a Captain’s Welcome cocktail party shortly before dinner. The ship’s disco will once again be open in the evening, and you will spend this night of your Nile cruise from Hurghada on the water at Esna.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 3 – Edfu Temple and Kom Omb Temple Excursions

Enjoy breakfast on board the ship while sailing to Edfu. Shortly after arriving at Edfu, your guide will take you and your group to see Egypt’s best-preserved ancient temple, the Temple of Horus at Edfu. This remarkable temple was discovered after having been buried under the desert sand for more than 2,000 years.

Enjoy lunch back on the boat while sailing to Kom Ombo where you will enjoy another excursion. Have afternoon tea at the usual time, and then you will be taken to see Kom Ombo Temple which was dedicated to two different gods, Sobek and Haeroris.

Enjoy another good dinner on board the ship in the evening. Instead of an on board disco, tonight there will be a thoroughly enjoyable Galabya Party. This night of your Nile cruise from Hurghada will be spent on the water at Kom Ombo.

Day 4 – Cruise to Aswan and Aswan Tour

Enjoy breakfast on board your Nile cruise while sailing to Aswan. On arrival in Aswan, you will have the opportunity to enjoy an optional tour to the famous Abu Simbel Temples. This is an “optional” tour and is therefore not included in the price of our Nile Cruise from Hurghada package.

If you choose not to visit Abu Simbel, then you will have the remainder of the day to yourself to enjoy as you wish. Afternoon tea and dinner will both be served at the usual times. For entertainment tonight, there will be an authentic Nubian Folkloric Show on the ship. Enjoy the last night of your Nile cruise from Hurghada on the water at Aswan.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 5 – Disembarkation, Aswan Tour and Transfer to Hurghada

Enjoy a last good breakfast on the ship, and then it will be time for you to check-out and disembark. After you have disembarked, it will be time for your Aswan tour. First you will visit the remarkable Aswan High Dam which gave birth to Lake Nasser after construction of the dam was completed.

Next, you will head to the ancient granite quarries to see the gigantic Unfinished Obelisk. From here you will then be taken to see the ancient Temple of Philae that was dedicated to two goddesses, Hathor and Isis. This amazing temple once stood on a small island which now lies beneath the water of Lake Nasser. The temple was painstakingly moved in entirety to its current location on higher ground.

After you have finished exploring the temple, you will begin making your way back to Hurghada. The journey from Aswan to Hurghada takes roughly 7 hours. As usual, free bottled water will be available in the vehicle, and your driver will be happy to stop along the way if you need to.

Finally, you’ll sail to the wonderous milestones of Aswan, and from there, you can take the train to Qena and drive straight to your hotel in Hurghada.

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included Tour

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included

It was good. In the beginning, we had some issues with the lack of communication in El Cairo. We chose the sleeping train option from El Cairo to Luxor (included in the tour) but we spent 3-4 hours sitting in the train station when we could have done anything else. Also, we didn't know that the train didn't have showers and we were supposed to start the tour day in Luxor as soon as we arrived.... so if you are choosing the sleeping train option consider this, also that you share the bathroom with the people in the same wagon. Once we arrived on the cruise, everything went smoothly. The tour guide always took care of us, gave us tips, and explained everything well. The cruise was overall good, they gave you what you paid for. I do recommend the tour!

Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise Tour

Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise

This trip was AMAZING!! It exceeded my expectations and was everything I could have asked for. What truly made it special was our guide, Ray! He was so knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. If we needed to get in contact with him, he was always reachable. The overall organization of the trip was very good. I liked how we started in Cairo, traveled down to Aswan and then made our way slowly back to Cairo. It was a lot of traveling and the first few days were a lot but it was totally worth it! My favorite part of the trip was The Valley of the Kings. We were there for a little over 2 hours and I feel like I could have been there for days. It was just so beautiful! I can confidentially say I saw the Best of Egypt! Overall I would recommend this tour & trip to anyone! HUGE shoutout to Ray for everything -- If you are looking to take this tour you should see if he can be your guide!

Holiday In Egypt 4 Days – 3 Nights Nile Cruise From Cairo by Flight

Das Schiff war neu, sauber und der Lounge-Bereich an Deck geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Team war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Für meinen Geschmack hätte das Essen besser gewürzt sein können. Die Tempelanlagen waren beeindruckend und der Reiseleiter Wael hatte ein breites Wissen, konnte alles sehr gut erklären und motivieren, gerade auch auf der Fahrt nach Abu Simbel, zu der man 4:30 Uhr aufstehen muss….

Egypt Adventure Tour

The Intrepid tour and our guide was excellent! However, I booked my tour through TourRadar, and TourRadar was a disaster from beginning to end, with very slow responses to any questions. I received my voucher only one week before departure, and they did not pass over the information to Intrepid about my late arrival on the opening day. Originally, I was booked via TourRadar on a different tour with a different company, but this was cancelled by TourRadar only 6 weeks before departure and long after confirmation was given and I had booked my flight tickets. So it was pure luck that Intrepid had a tour on the same dates.

Reviews of Nile Cruises

It was very informative and educational, but there were a lot of activities packed into the 11 days, leaving hardly any free time.
This tour was absolutely fantastic. Everything we saw was amazing, everything we did was amazing and Mariam was a fantastic guide.
One of the good journeys I've taken, it exposed us to a language and culture quite distinct from Western norms. We also witnessed remarkable ancient sites, including Karnak Temple and Abu Simbel, and enjoyed thrilling activities like a hot air balloon ride and snorkeling in the Red Sea.

  • U1449OEenricop 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An unforgettable memory One of the best experiences I have ever had. The tour was very enjoyable, nice company and a wonderful guide. At the beginning I was a bit relentless to go, due to the desert climate, but since this trip was a gift for my girlfriend for her birth decided to do it. The guide, Ahmed, brought us around the black and withe desert giving us lessons about the history and the Bedouin colture. Everything was accompanied by the wonderful view of the desert and the oasis of Bahariya. Also we went with another guide, Ahmed brother who also made our trip more fun. Another thing that I want to say is, go with the Musicians of the Desert (Ahmed and his brother), if you go with them you will have the wonderful experience of listening some Bedouin music sang by them (that’s why that name). Also I don’t have words to describe the feeling of hearing the blowing of the wind in the middle of the desert during the early morning. Read more Written April 6, 2024

  • zihengz2022 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great trip in Egypt - thank you Marsa Alam We were a bit doubtful at the beginning but Marsa Alam is truly amazing! Customer service is very flexible to customize the trip for us, the tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable, drivers are also very professional! (Not all drivers in Egypt can drive properly so having a professional one is really important) One tip for people considering going, the “five star hotel” is Egypt standard is usually equivalent to the three/four star standard in other places so if you want a relatively comfortable stay you should choose the five star ones instead of the four star ones. Another minor thing I would comment is that despite our tour guides in Cairo and Aswan were both great, the guide in Luxor is a bit disappointing. He didn’t provide much info on important attractions, and he continuously tried to sell us extra stuff not included in the trip when we knew the stuff he recommended was not worth going at all. I would suggest Marsa Alam not to hire this guide anymore. Read more Written April 1, 2024

Nile river cruise from Aswan to Luxor - spend 3 nights on a shortest cruise in Egypt on offer, very budget and very attractive for tourists. But there is one significant drawback that makes this cruise not so popular - the distance between Hurghada and Aswan is very long, 600 km. It takes long time to reach the destination, private transfer makes the trip expensive, since there is no public transportation available between those two cities. But if you are traveling in a company of 5 or more people, then the price for a private transfer will be divided between the travellers thus turning out to be affordable, white the travel time is spent on friendly conversations.

4. Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise holiday

Nile cruise Luxor Aswan will suit those travellers who want to spend more time cruising the Nile, enjoying the rural landscapes of Upper Egypt. How long is the cruise from Luxor to Aswan, you may ask? The journey takes 5 days and 4 nights, the attractions you visit along the way are always the same , no matter how long the cruise is. You will just spend more time sailing along the Nile. Again, there will be inconvenient to return from Aswan to Hurghada, as there is no direct transport connection to the resort. You can get to Luxor by train, and then by regular bus, or order a private transfer from Luxor to your Hurghada hotel, as this service is usually not included in the package price.

Viking Moscow to St. Petersburg: Safety??

By uilleann , September 20, 2018 in River Cruising

Recommended Posts

Cool Cruiser

We are looking at doing the Viking Moscow to St. Petersburg river cruise in 2020. When I checked the US State Dept. They classify Russia as a “Consider another location” due to increased terrorism against American Tourists. I would love to hear peoples thoughts as I have never been to Russia and this cruise looks like fun?

I can't answer your question specifically. I have done a similar cruise (another line) and I have done a land trip there. If I was to advise people, I would tell people to find a land company and just do St. Petersburg and Moscow. Stay downtown and not clear out where the river boats stay. I was bored with the ports between and wish I had spent more time in Moscow on the river boat (like I did when I was on the land trip.

Again, not the answer to the question you were asking. I personally would have no hesitations going back.

My sister-in-law just did the Viking trip, St, Pete to Moscow, with no problem at all. She reacted as I did -- greatly enjoyed the longer day time sailing of this itinerary, which she found relaxing and peaceful, and the ports quite interesting. (I was on another line, too, a few years ago). I've seen the State Dept. warning but think the cruise lines put a premium on the safety of their PAX and would withdraw their tours if safety was a concern, such as when river cruises on the Nile were shut down. We did a cruise there after they were reinstated and were a bit apprehensive, but we felt safe with the security provided there and had a great time as well.

We did this trip five years ago. We found St. Petersburg and Moscow extremely interesting, but we really enjoyed the ports during the cruising part of the trip. We loved sailing through the countryside and seeing the smaller towns. President Obama was actually in St. Petersburg for a summit the same time we were there, so Americans were treated fine. However, this was all only a few months before the Sochi winter olympics and Putin was on his best behavior. We all know what happened immediately following the olympics. But then we went to Egypt this past January and we're going to Cuba this coming winter, so we're not easily put off by state department warnings.

That area is generally safe. That said, there is no love lost between Russians and Americans. Most of your everyday people will be fine. You will stand out as an American, good/bad/indifferent. Most of the terrorism problems in Russia are further south than Moscow

... there is no love lost between Russians and Americans.

I don't find it to be the case.... While the governments do indeed have a hard time finding any kind of common ground to start talking, this has not - in my experience - translated into any kind of problems on a person-to-person level.

If anything, I'd encourage the OP to extend their stay on both ends of the trip, via Viking extension or otherwise and explore both cities on their own.

There aren't too many reviews of Vikings Russian River tours here on CC, but to get a general understanding of overall safety and other issues you might also want to check reviews of other cruise companies (AMA, Scenic, Uniworld, Vodohod) and aggregators (Gate 1 cruises, etc) offering the same route - the itineraries are virtually identical.

As far as State Dept warnings go - they have unfortunately become a political tool rather than a useful resourse for travelers.

AMA stopped offering cruises in Russia, reportedly because they couldn't deliver the quality of their European and other itineraries.

Very true, but past reviews should still be available - and could be helpful in overall assessment of things to expect on that route. Like I said, the itineraries are virtually the same (coincidentally, stern State Dept warnings haven't changed much over the years, either).

Would love to go to Moscow....and so I've looked at the "Waterways of the Tsars" Viking cruise quite often. When we arrived in SPB, that morning you could just feel the tension onboard the ship. Everyone just seemed keyed up and slightly nervous. NOT the usual feeling like in the Windjammer down in the Caribbean! Anyway, one of the days we went through border patrol they left my wife go right through, but I was questioned rather sternly and at length about why I'm arriving so early before my tour excursion started and what I intended to do. It was a bit uncomfortable. After a bit of jabbering in Russian among the border patrol agents, they finally let me through. Telling them that I was going to go shopping with the extra time before the excursion started seemed to win some points :)

This is because they never really tried. Ours had 2 AMA employees - the rest were Vodohod employees. It was a Vodohod cruise.

Relax & ignore uptight fellow passengers.

Viking Ocean Day One at St Pete we go to the border officer. Stares & glowers at us for something like 2-3 minutes. Then stamps our passports forcefully and bruskly waves us thru.

Day 2 at St Pete. We arrive and are promptly waived thru right away. But no smile.

Two very elderly folks on our same tour were held up at least 15 minutes as we all waited for them. Talked to them and they were both ex-military and had worked at the Pentagon. They surmised that the Rooskies knew this and had some concerns. They were laughing and thought the entire experience was a hoot. Day 2, no problems.

Yeah...we had no problems the next day we went through.

My sister and BIL just returned from the Viking trip from St. Pete. to Moscow. They said the onboard experience wasn't as good as on the European Longships but they thoroughly enjoyed the trip. They too reported the local people they met were a very warm and friendly.

We arrive and are promptly waived thru right away. But no smile.
Just out of pure curiosity (plus in the interest of identifying cultural differences) - why do you think a smile would be in order?

From my point of view: tourism is an economic plus for any country, so officials involved should be customer-focused.

The scowling old Babushkas monitoring in the Russian museums are apparently not in order.

Suggest you try the Sampsan from Moscow to St Petes.

There is a four seat compartment at the very front of the train, excellent service, and great views.

Very safe even for Americans !

The scowling old Babushkas monitoring in the Russian museums are apparently not in order

Indeed, wouldn't we all prefer the cheerful young babushkas!

In fact, having spent a bit of time in SPB over the summer, I have a new appreciation for the scowling old type - the only time I've seen them spring back to life, in a soccer-goalie pounce, was to stop a fellow tourist from touching the private parts of a marble statue or leaning against the tapestry-adorned wall in the Hermitage :-)

When I was a Russian History major in the late '60s there was a wonderful story from the days of Stalin about an old Babushka who used to take the subway to Red Square every morning, trudge painfully across the square to the wall of the Kremlin where the front page of Pravda was posted in a glass case, look briefly at the paper and sigh, and then trudge back to the subway. One day the guard asked, "Grandma, why don't you just buy the paper? It only costs a penny." She said, "I don't want to read all of it. I'm just looking for an obituary." The guard said, "But the obituaries aren't printed on the front page!" She answered, " This one will be."
