The Nile Excellence is a boutique ship of thirty suites, run by the same company as the Nile Serenity and sold at the same price. Every suite has a French balcony and a bathroom with a bathtub. There is a pool on the sundeck with a bar, a restaurant serving full board, and a lounge bar. It sails the classic route between Luxor and Aswan, three nights, four nights, or the full week without changing ship.
Twenty-three standard suites, three royal suites, two junior doubles and two junior singles, each with a French balcony over the river.
Per person for the whole cruise, based on two people sharing. Single travellers and upgrades are quoted on request.
Booked and paid for on board, or arranged with us before you travel.
Prices are quoted in US dollars, per person, for the whole cruise, not per night. A cabin sleeps two. Taxes are included in the figure shown.
A quarter of the total confirms the cabin in your name. The balance is due on your first day in Egypt, in cash or by card. Card payments carry a 3% surcharge.
A child travelling free shares the parents’ cabin and does not get a separate bed. Tell us the ages when you enquire and we will price it exactly.
