Luxor, Egypt - Overnight onboard
DAY 1-3
13 Oct 2026
Time at Port: TBD
A remarkable city built on the site of ancient Thebes, known to the ancient Egyptians as Waset, Luxor is a sensational destination with an abundance of attractions and exciting experiences to enjoy. Nicknamed the City of a Hundred Gates, this city is often spoken about as one of the world’s best open-air museums, and for good reason. Here, you’ll find an impressive concentration of ancient Egyptian structures and monuments, with the impressive Karnak Temple complex, the world-renowned Valley of the Kings, and the staggering Colossi of Memnon just a handful of examples. Luxor is also home to the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut, the iconic Ramesseum, and the intriguing Tombs of the Nobles. Visits to this remarkable destination aren’t just about ancient history, though; the culinary landscape here is also worth exploring, with Luxor a fantastic place to enjoy traditional Egyptian foods and North African flavours. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to sit and admire the stunning landscapes surrounding you when visiting Luxor. Bisected by the River Nile and surrounded by sprawling deserts, this destination is an oasis of vibrant life in the pale sand, and easily a highlight on any river cruise through this fascinating part of the world.
Things to do in Luxor, Egypt - Overnight onboard:
The Valley of the Kings
Located in the heart of the expansive Theban Necropolis, the Valley of the Kings is one of Luxor’s most famous ancient landmarks and home to some of history’s most important ancient Egyptian archaeological sites. From the early discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 to the more recent realisation that there are over 120 chambers dedicated to the sons of Rameses II alone, this site offers abundant insights into ancient Egyptian culture, mythology, funerary practices, and afterlife beliefs. With estimates that this site was initially established in the 16th century BC, the Valley of the Kings invites you to immerse yourself in ancient history unlike anywhere else.
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut
Built in the 15th century BC, the remarkable temple of Hatshepsut is widely regarded as a surviving masterpiece of ancient architecture; featuring three colossal terraces built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this temple is orientated to face the monumental Eighth Pylon in the Temple of Karnark across the River Nile, a structure which is regarded as Hatshepsut’s most famous addition to the intriguing temple complex. Resurfaced in 1737 by British traveller Richard Pococke, the impressive mortuary temple of Hatshepsut offers visitors a fascinating insight into the Pharaoh’s rule and the following rulers’ reactions to that.
Colossi of Memnon
Standing 60ft tall, the Colossi of Memnon are a pair of impressive stone statues depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III before the ruins of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, the largest temple in the sprawling Theban Necropolis. They have stood since at least 1350 BC and feature a fascinating collection of Roman-era inscriptions alongside ancient Egyptian depictions of Hapi, the deity associated with the annual flooding of the River Nile.
Kom Ombo, Egypt
DAY 4
16 Oct 2026
Time at Port: TBD
Kom Ombo, a quaint agricultural oasis on the River Nile, is a sensational destination featured on cruises along this world-famous waterway and offers much to visitors despite its small size. Initially established as the ancient Egyptian city of Nubt, meaning City of Gold, Kom Ombo rose to prominence in ancient Egypt with the construction of the Temple of Kom Ombo in the 2nd century BC, the destination’s most impressive landmark and a must-visit landmark. However, those who need a break from ancient history will still find a lot to look forward to when visiting Kom Ombo. It enjoys year-round warm sunshine and stunning riverside scenery, making it an excellent place to unwind while sampling authentic Egyptian cuisine.
Things to do in Kom Ombo, Egypt:
The Temple of Kom Ombo
An unusual double temple constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty on the banks of the River Nile, the Temple of Kom Ombo is a fascinating place of worship built to accommodate two sets of ancient Egyptian gods, with all its courts, halls, and sanctuaries duplicated. The southern parts of this remarkable temple are dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and one of the creators of the world, while the northern parts are devoted to Haroersis alongside Tasenetnofret and Panebtawy. While double temples do exist throughout ancient Egypt, this is unique in that everything within is perfectly symmetrical along a main axis, suggesting it was always intended to be a double temple rather than an existing temple later adapted.
The Crocodile Museum
Kom Ombo’s Crocodile Museum, which is just a stone’s throw from the Temple of Kom Ombo, offers visitors an intriguing insight into ancient Egypt’s reverence for crocodiles, showcasing mummified crocodiles and wooden sarcophagi alongside ancient depictions of crocodile deities and fascinating rituals revolving around this semiaquatic creature. With hundreds of crocodile mummies discovered in and around the Temple of Kom Ombo, half of which is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, this museum is a remarkable exploration of just how important crocodiles were to ancient Egyptian society and culture.
Egyptian Cuisine
A culinary landscape boasting a unique blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours and techniques, Egyptian cuisine is known for featuring a wide variety of vegetables and herbs from the Nile Valley region, alongside freshly baked breads and grilled meats such as kebab and kofta. Full of flavour and largely vegetarian-friendly, every bite of the bold dishes you’ll enjoy in Egypt is packed with vibrant spices and a refreshing freshness you’ll want to savour.
Aswan, Egypt - Overnight onboard
DAY 4-6
16 Oct 2026
Time at Port: TBD
The southern Egyptian city of Aswan, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities with a recorded history spanning thousands of years, is a remarkable destination on the River Nile, boasting impressive ancient landmarks, serene riverside scenery, and a fascinating culture worth immersing yourself in.

The interesting ancient sites here offer an engaging sightseeing experience where you can learn more about this unique region. The impressive Philae temple complex just south of the city centre is a must-visit when spending time in Aswan. Beyond this, Aswan is also home to marvels of modern architecture and engineering, namely the impressive Aswan High Dam, one of the world’s largest embankment dams, and the kilometre-long Aswan Bridge, which utilises a suspension technique used by ancient Egyptian ships since the 25th century BC. Complemented with a warm Nubian culture and sensational culinary landscape that blends traditional Egyptian cuisine with flavours from further south, this destination is worth looking forward to.
Things to do in Aswan, Egypt - Overnight onboard:
The Philae Temple Complex
The Philae temple complex, which was formerly on the island of Philae but has since been relocated to the smaller island of Agilkia, just south of Aswan on the River Nile, is a fascinating destination and a must-visit site for anyone interested in the region’s remarkable cultural heritage and ancient architecture. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Nile, Philae is historically known for its unrivalled beauty and vibrant coastline, something Agilkia Island certainly lives up to. The temple complex here, however, is known for being a centre of the cult of Isis and as the last known site of Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions, dating to 394. Home to a remarkable collection of ancient structures constructed throughout the Ptolemaic period, including the Temple of Horus and Trajan's Kiosk, there’s a lot to discover about ancient Egypt’s unique Nubian culture here, with some impressive views of the Aswan Low Dam and the riverside scenery to boot.
El Nabatat Island
Also known as Kitchener’s Island, El Nabatat Island is a small, stunning island in the Nile, opposite Aswan city centre. Home to the Aswan Botanical Garden, a veritable oasis of vibrant plantlife in the region, this serene spot is ideal for strolling through while soaking up the glorious sunshine this region enjoys year-round. Covering almost 7 hectares, the gardens here are home to a wide variety of bird and plant species. A charming escape from the ancient temples and staggering monuments found throughout Egypt, spending time here is always enjoyable.
Elephantine
Elephantine, an intriguing island in the River Nile located opposite Aswan, is a remarkable destination home to several unique ancient landmarks and monuments worth taking the time to explore. Not only is this island home to its own pyramid, whose builder and purpose remain a mystery, but it’s also home to the historic Temple of Khnum, the Ptolemaic Sanctuary of Kalabsha, and the Temple of Satet, as well as the fascinating Aswan Museum. If you want to learn more about the region’s ancient history, this is a fascinating place to do it.
Edfu, Egypt
DAY 7
19 Oct 2026
Time at Port: TBD
Disembarking in Edfu is an exhilarating experience that invites you to step back into ancient Egypt while immersing yourself in a vibrant, welcoming cultural landscape. It’s home to some of the nation’s best-preserved ancient landmarks and sensational monuments that are thousands of years old. Located on the west bank of the River Nile, this bustling destination is your gateway to the magnificent Temple of Edfu, authentic Egyptian cuisine, and charming riverside scenery. Enjoying warm weather year-round, Edfu is also an excellent destination to soak up the sunshine and unwind, giving you a chance to reflect on the sensational ancient history you’ve uncovered so far and what you have to look forward to next.
Things to do in Edfu, Egypt:
The Temple of Edfu
A significant Ptolemaic temple of Horus built between 237 and 57 BC, the impressive Temple of Edfu is one of Egypt’s most completely preserved ancient temples. The inscriptions found here have proved invaluable for understanding the language, mythos, and religion of ancient Egypt throughout the Hellenistic period, which spans the period between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and that of Cleopatra VII in 30 BC. Among the largest temples in Egypt dedicated to Horus and Hathor, it was an important centre for festivals dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god and part of a historic pilgrimage between Edfu and Dendera, home to a significant temple dedicated to Hathor.
Egyptian Cuisine
A culinary landscape boasting a unique blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours and techniques, Egyptian cuisine is known for featuring a wide variety of vegetables and herbs from the Nile Valley region, alongside freshly baked breads and grilled meats such as kebab and kofta. Full of flavour and largely vegetarian-friendly, every bite of the bold dishes you’ll enjoy in Egypt is packed with vibrant spices and a refreshing freshness you’ll want to savour.
Horus
Horus, the falcon-headed god of kingship, protection, healing, the sun, and the sky, is among the most significant ancient Egyptian deities. Worshipped from late prehistoric Egypt, which spans anything from 20,000 BC to 3,000 BC through to the Ptolemaic period and Roman Egypt, which ended around 650, a multitude of different forms of Horus are recorded throughout history, with many Egyptologists treating these as different entities despite seemingly being varying manifestations of the same tutelary deity. Commonly, however, Horus the Elder is depicted as the sibling to Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys, while Horus the Younger is the offspring of Osiris and Isis. This is a classic example of Egyptian cosmology’s adoption of themes of birth, death, and rebirth.
