Luxury Nile Cruises

A Nile Cruise is more than just a journey—it is an unforgettable voyage back in time to the heart of Ancient Egypt. Sailing along the Nile’s palm-fringed banks, you’ll find yourself immersed in the world’s greatest open-air museum, where 4,000-year-old pharaohs’ tombs, cities carved from sandstone, and astonishingly well-preserved temples create an awe-inspiring backdrop. From the luxury of our Nile cruise boats to the serene elegance of a traditional dahabiya (sailboat), every aspect of this experience is designed to offer you the best of Egypt, blending modern comforts with timeless romance.

Our Nile River Cruise boats are consistently rated the best on the river, offering boutique luxury and comfort. Each boat is equipped with modern amenities such as air-conditioning in every suite, pools, and daybeds on the top deck—perfect for enjoying sweeping views of the Nile, spotting ancient temples, egrets, and water buffalo along the way. The charm of a 1920s-inspired cruise experience remains intact with breezy open-air restaurant decks and cocktail bars that transport you to the golden age of travel.

Onboard, our resident Egyptologists bring Egypt’s fascinating history to life, translating ancient hieroglyphs and unlocking the secrets behind some of the country’s most iconic sites. Exclusive to A&K guests, you can participate in immersive experiences, such as joining an archaeological dig or visiting a temple after hours, away from the crowds. This personalized service ensures your Nile Cruise is as much about discovery as it is about relaxation.

Our luxury Nile cruises operate between Luxor and Aswan, in both directions. Luxor, the showstopping starting point or grand finale of your Nile River Cruise, is home to Thebes, the ancient capital of the pharaohs. Here, you’ll find the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun and Ramses II were laid to rest. Further downstream in Aswan, the river becomes more tranquil, with fewer visitors, offering peaceful mornings as fishing boats and traditional dahabiyas glide through the calm waters.

Along the way, our private jetties offer opportunities to explore Egypt’s lesser-known treasures. You can learn to make the iconic Egyptian dessert Om Ali during a cooking class, enjoy the mesmerizing performance of a traditional Oud trio, or sip afternoon tea on the banks of a private island, all while taking in the breathtaking surroundings.

A Nile River Cruise with A&K is not just a journey; it’s a deeply romantic and endlessly fascinating experience. Whether you choose to travel solo, as part of a group journey, or charter a private boat for your family and friends, it will undoubtedly be the voyage of a lifetime. A cruise along the Nile is a must for any traveler who seeks the magic of Egypt and the adventure of a lifetime.
