  • The Classic Boat (4 nights)

Featuring around forty cabins, this classic vessel offers personalized service during your excursions. You will have access to a private English-speaking guide who will be accommodated aboard the same boat as yours throughout the entire cruise.

At each city where you dock, you depart with your guide, a driver, and a private vehicle for your scheduled excursions.

  • The Felucca (4-5 nights)

A small traditional wooden sailing boat, the felucca is ideal for adventurers seeking simplicity. Comfort is spartan as this open-air vessel offers little privacy—you sleep on deck under the stars. Bring a sleeping bag and a small container for washing, as you will use water from the Nile (the water is clear and you can even swim in it).

Meals are prepared by a cook and served aboard.

A felucca accommodates a maximum of 6 people. Children under 7 years old and/or those unable to swim will not be accepted on board.

Felucca operators do not speak English, though some have basic English knowledge.

  • The Dahabeya or Sandal (5 nights + 1 night in a Hotel in Luxor)

The Dahabeya is a small sailing vessel with 4 to 6 cabins. A dahabeya accommodates a maximum of 12 people. The cruise takes place over 5 nights, as with the classic boat. Add one additional night in Luxor to your itinerary.

There will be one English-speaking guide aboard for all cruise participants.
