How it works

  • It’s one of those things you’ve always promised yourself you’ll do – well, here’s your chance: a luxury cruise on the legendary Nile, exploring the fascinating ancient sites of Upper Egypt.



  • Embarking in Luxor and returning to Luxor 7 nights later, you will be in the very expert hands of the Sakkara Travel Group who’ve been in Egyptian travel and the luxury Nile Cruise business for many years. Their representative will meet you on arrival at Luxor airport and transfer you to the 5-star deluxe Sonesta Nile Goddess cruise ship.
     
  • The Sonesta Nile Goddess is a comfortable 72 metres long with 66 junior suites, one of which will be yours for this voyage - all beautifully renovated this year.
     
  • In your air conditioned room you will enjoy:

    • Private bathroom with bathtub and hairdryer
       
    • En-suite sitting area
       
    • Safe deposit box and internal telephone
       
    • Color TV with video channels
       
    • Internal music channels and Mini bar.

 

  • But best of all must be what you will get to experience travelling in this fascinating country:
     
    • Guided visit to the Necropolis of the West Bank
       
    • Tour the Valleys of the Kings and Queens
       
    • The funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El BaharyThe Colossi of Memnon
       
    • Spell binding temples of Karnak, Luxor, Horus and Philae
       
      And so much more…
 
  • For those times when you aren’t touring, you’ll find plenty on board The Nile Goddess to keep you occupied: restaurant, bar, swimming pools, spa, Internet café and evening entertainment… but we see you on the sun deck, resplendent against a back-drop of the banks of the Nile.
