Your Nile cruise boat is actually a floating luxury hotel with all the services you'd expect: stately lobby and reception area, carpeted corridors, spacious dining room, cozy lounge, bar and nightclub, boutiques, and a top deck with small wading and swimming pools, whirlpool bath, lounge chairs in sun and shade, and a bar for drinks and afternoon tea.

Enjoying the Nile view from a stateroom

Your stateroom is fully comfortable, with private bathroom, satellite TV, telephone, closets and dresser, and huge windows so that you needn't even leave your stateroom to enjoy the panorama of the Nile.

You take your meals in an elegant dining room with fine tablecloths and place settings. Your waiter introduces himself and gets to know you personally.

Your cruise boat's nightclub offers nightly activities and entertainment, including singers, dancers, acrobats, belly dancers and other entertainers.

At least one evening on your cruise, you'll be encouraged to "go Egyptian" and wear a gallabiya, the traditional flowing robes of Egypt. (They're available for purchase in boutiques on the boat and in shops at shore stops—or you can find one before boarding.)

Wifi Internet connection via satellite phone is available on most boats.
