Our voyage guides us effortlessly from Cairo to Aswan. Aboard our privately chartered vessel, we navigate this seldom-travelled route accompanied by our own Egyptologist. This comprehensive discovery of Egypt’s history, culture and extraordinary treasures is reserved for 55 guests.
CURATE YOUR CAIRO EXPERIENCE
Enter Chephren Pyramid for a rare look at its inspired structure. Enjoy exclusive access to the feet of the Sphinx. And behold the treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum, including the Khufu Ship and the golden mask of Tutankhamun.
ENGAGING CULTURAL IMMERSIONS
Throughout our journey, we are accompanied by two expert Egyptologists, who deepen our appreciation for this remarkable country. Aboard our privately chartered vessel, we take part in a hieroglyphics class. While our group also enjoys exclusive access to the Egyptian Museum before it opens to the public.

LOOK UPON THE TEMPLE OF RAMSES II
At the conclusion of your cruise, join a charter flight to Abu Simbel, where you will come face to face with the awe-inspiring Temple of Ramses II. Pass beneath the four imposing statues of the pharaoh and observe the treasures inside.
