No overnight stay is necessary for flights to/from Luxor.
****************************************
Booking note: We reserve the right to rebook you to a different ship for economic reasons. In such cases, it will always be a higher-quality ship. The travel itinerary will not be impaired.
**************************************
The transfer duration from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 7-8 hours, depending on the location of the hotel.
****************************************
Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or overloading/maintenance of the Esna locks, changes to the itinerary may occur. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on an equivalent ship may be necessary to ensure the continuity of the itinerary.
****************************************
As the offered vessel is a motor ship, operating noise may occur.
****************************************
The ships sometimes dock behind or alongside each other, meaning that it may be necessary to cross other ships. It can happen that the ship is not always accessible in a barrier-free manner.
****************************************
Egypt is the land of baksheesh: To save you the stress of constant tipping on board, your local tour guide will collect an amount of 8 € per person per night on the boat at the beginning of the trip, depending on the category of the ship. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation on our part.
