Egypt was once described as ‘the gift of the Nile’, by the ancient Greek traveller and historian, Herodotus. The Greeks, the Romans ,the Pharaohs, the Turks, the British and the Arabs have all ruled Egypt, and modern Egypt in an amalgam of these legacies and the influences of Islam and the 20th century.
Your trip includes 3 nights in Cairo, to see not only the vibrant bazaars and bustling life, but also have the opportunity to visit the Ancient Pyramids. This is combined with a relaxing Nile Cruise, visiting the splendour of ancient Egypt from the comfort of your boat.
To fully enjoy a classic Nile cruise, it’s important to choose an experienced company operating the best of the 300-plus boats that sail between Luxor and Aswan. Viking Nile Cruises is a leading cruise operator in Egypt, and owned by Viking Travel, a local company with more 20 years experience in Luxor and Upper Egypt.
Viking Travel knows what makes a great cruise and has used that know-how to create two splendid boats, Viking I and Viking II, each offering comfortable accommodation and first-class service. Viking I was totally refurbished in 2000 and Viking II was totally refurbished in 2001.
