CroisiEurope charters RV Star of Luxor for new Nile cruises

CroisiEurope is sailing into Egypt with the introduction of a brand-new Nile cruise aboard the fully-chartered RV Star of Luxor.

The new seven-night Cruise on The Nile: The Land of the Pharaohs itinerary is round trip from Luxor and promises “exciting, spectacular and unforgettable discoveries,” including temples, tombs, pyramids and villages along the Nile Valley landscapes.

Highlights include visits to Karnak Temple Complex, the Temple of Horus, the Temple of Kom Ombo, the Philae Temple Complex and The Aswan Dam.

The voyage also includes a local boat tour between the granite islands and natural reserves, passing close to the island of Elephantine and an optional excursion to the rock temples of Abu Simbel, which was built by King Ramses II

Once the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo has officially opened, CroisiEurope will offer a four-day optional pre-cruise program featuring historic Cairo and its Coptic district, discovery of the Giza Plateau with its pyramids and the Sphinx, the Pyramid of Cheops, the Saqqara necropolis with its entrance to the Pyramid of Teti and entry to the museum.
