Nile Cruise trends

Since the start of the New Year we have seen a definite increase in the demand for luxury Nile Cruises compared to the same period 12 months ago.

Although the outlook in Egypt has not improved that greatly (though I hasten to add it is very safe) its clear that holiday makers appetite for Nile Cruises and in particular the top end boats has returned and we have seen significant increases in sales. Whether this is partly due to lower prices triggered not just by the Nile Cruise companies reducing prices but also by the majority of the airlines servicing the routes to Luxor (easyjet, Monarch and Thomson) also reducing their prices is not clear.

For the remainder of the winter period there are still some excellent deals with prices in March starting from £999.00 per person which includes: return flights, 7 Nights Full board, sightseeing and all transfers.

What counts as a great value Nile Cruise holiday

With a little time on my hands I have been reading and contributing to some of the topics on trip advisor and I came across one titled MS Orchid with First Choice -7 day cruise- Need some advice where the poster was asking for help with booking excursions as her £1800.00 Nile Cruise holiday did not include these although she had thought it did!

On reading the post further it seemed that possibly the lady had misread how the tour company had represented what was included in the holiday which was further compounded by the rep selling the holiday not being "Sure" if the trips were included or not.

The point is that for a £900.00 holiday on a fairly old and not really 5* boat you should really expect to get one of the main elements of the holiday that you are going to Egypt for, ie the excursions

£900.00 is a lot of money in anyone's eyes and in Egypt especially you can get a great value holiday for much less or a holiday of a much higher quality for the same sort of money.

Currently for under £700.00 you can have a week on the RA II  with flights, full board and more sightseeing than you will see on most other boats

For around £900.00 you can have a week on the Luxury Nile Cruise boat Ms Farah with flights, full board and sightseeing which with its ultra modern contemporary style will ensure you a great Egypt holiday

So the moral is don't always book with the big tour operators and definitely read all the small print to know what is and what is not included!!!
