Our 5-Star DELUXE Nile Cruise Ships

In Egypt the Nile cruise ships are rated by stars (3-star, 4-star, 5-star) but there is also a class of boat above 5-star, and those are the 5-Star Deluxe boats.  There are many such boats available...we particularly like these below for their comparable services, overall quality and value received. We will do our best to book whichever you prefer...or if you have another 5 star deluxe boat preference we will be pleased to custom quote that boat for you.

Generally, we use these boats depending on which has the best location for the logistics for your tour and, in the case of the Nile river boats, which is sailing on the day you need.  If you have any particular requests, however, please let us know when booking and we will do our best to confirm that for you.
