Smoking is only permitted on the outer decks.

The transfer time from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 7-8 hours depending on the hotel's location.
**************************************
Due to seasonal low water levels on the Nile, or due to congestion or 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 required to ensure the itinerary.
**************************************
As the offered ship is a motor vessel, operational noises may occur.
**************************************
The ships may dock one behind another or side-by-side, making it necessary to cross other ships.
It may not always be possible to access the ship barrier-free.
**************************************
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 €7 per person per night on the boat at the beginning of the trip, depending on the ship's category. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is a recommendation from us.
In the catalog "Egypt · Morocco · Tunisia · Turkey" Winter 2025/26 on page 11.
