5-Day MS Nile Goddess Cruise

Day 1 – Luxor Arrival and Nile Goddess Cruise Begins

Welcome to Luxor, Egypt. One of our professional tour representatives will be waiting to meet and greet you when you arrive in Luxor, and then they will immediately take you to the port where you will be boarding the elegant 5-Star MS Nile Goddess Nile cruiser. Your short drive will take place in a modern air-conditioned vehicle.

Once you board the Nile Goddess, you will have some time to drop your bags off in your cabin, and then a delicious lunch will be served.

After a leisurely lunch, you will disembark for a short excursion to Luxor’s East bank where you will be taken to see the old ruins of Karnak Temple, an ancient city of temples. You will then enjoy a visit to the much better preserved Luxor Temple before returning to the MS Nile Goddess Nile Cruise in time for a pleasant afternoon tea.

In the afternoon, following your tea, there will be an authentic Egyptian belly dancing show, followed by a wonderful onboard dinner being served early evening. Tonight will be spent on the water in Luxor, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the cruise liner’s many excellent amenities, or if you prefer something more energetic, you can dance the night away in the onboard disco.

Day 2 – Luxor West Bank Tour and Cruise to Esna

Another fun filled day awaits. Kick today off with a good wholesome breakfast and then disembark for a morning you will never forget.

After disembarking, you will be going to visit one of Egypt’s mot valued ancient sites, the Valley of Kings. This is where Sir Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen, complete with his mummy and a vast collection of treasure. However, more than 70 other tombs have also been unearthed at this site, including the tomb of Ramses VI.

After Valley of the Kings, your group will then go to see another unforgettable ancient wonder, the majestic rock-cut Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. After your fascinating West Bank visits, everyone will return to the boat and it will then start cruising to Esna.

Enjoy another fabulous onboard lunch and then spend the afternoon as you wish. At around 15h00 afternoon tea will be served, and shortly afterward there will be a short but very nice “Captain’s Welcome” cocktail party.

When you arrive in Kom Ombo you will disembark again, and you will be taken to visit Kom Ombo Temple. This temple is actually composed of two identical temples that were dedicated to two different Gods. One was built to honor Horus the falcon God, while the other was built to honor Sobek the crocodile God.
