Nile River Cruise Holidays

Nile River cruises possess a unique romance and style. No other cruise holiday can replicate the atmosphere of the Nile’s dreamy agricultural landscapes, swaying palms, minarets and sleepy riverside villages. Astonishing Egyptian sights like the huge temple at Karnak, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the Avenue of Sphinxs will leave indelible memories. Nile cruise excursions typically include unforgettable trips to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Dendara, the fabulous monuments to Ramses II at Abu Simbel, the city of Alexandria and the modern-day marvel of the High Dam at Aswan. Extras range from exotic boat trips on triangular-sail feluccas to exciting hot-air ballooning. Knowledgeable guides and well-planned itineraries make Nile River cruises a wonderfully relaxing and stress-free way to take in the vast wealth of treasures on offer. Some Nile cruise passengers will snap up every available excursion while others are happy to relax on deck, enjoying the subtle changes of light as the day drifts by. You can book Nile River cruises online or by phone with directline-cruises.
