Seasonal Pricing

No departure of this trip falls over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve this season. Every date is charged at the standard rate.

Where a trip does run across those nights, it is priced 35 percent above the standard season rate, applied to the whole package. You would see it the moment you picked the date: the total on screen updates straight away, so the rate is never added later or collected on board. Departure days shift from year to year, so this trip may fall inside the season in future.

This package has no optional add-ons. Guided excursions, tomb entries and the Egypt visa service are not sold on the accommodation-only cruise. They come as standard on our fully guided programmes.

This Package Does Not Include Tours

The three-night Cleopatra is our accommodation-only package. It gives you the cabin, all meals and the all-inclusive bar aboard City and Sea Adonis, sailing the same Aswan to Luxor route, on the same ship, as our guided programme.

What it does not include is the sightseeing. There is no Egyptologist, no entrance tickets and no guided excursions, and optional excursions cannot be added to this booking.

We designed this package for guests who have already travelled our full guided programme. They have seen the temples with our Egyptologists, they know the river, and they are coming back simply to relax on board. If this is your first time with us, or your first time in Egypt, this is almost certainly not the package you want.

We would honestly advise against arranging your own guides and excursions ashore. The ship’s sailing and mooring times move with the river and with the lock at Esna, and every temple visit has to be timed around them. Matching guides, entrance tickets, vehicles and mooring windows at each stop is the part we have spent years getting right, and it is very hard to arrange from the outside with any margin for error.

We strongly recommend the full guided package

Osiris Odyssey is this exact three-night sailing with everything ashore included: a certified Egyptologist with you from arrival to departure, every entrance ticket, and all transfers and excursions. The High Dam, Philae, the felucca and the Nubian show in Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak and Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, all arranged and paid for. Your airport transfers are included as well.

It costs $250 more per person, and almost every guest who sails this route chooses it. For a first visit to Egypt we recommend it without hesitation.

Optional excursions are not available on this package. They are included as standard on Osiris Odyssey.

Meals & Dining

We welcome guests from all over the world, and we are highly experienced at catering for every kind of dietary need. Our daily buffet already offers a wide choice for most diets, and for anything specific our chefs are briefed in advance so they can prepare dishes especially for you.

We regularly and gladly cater for:

  • Vegetarian and vegan guests
  • Gluten-free and celiac diets, with care taken to avoid cross-contamination
  • Lactose-free and dairy-free needs
  • Nut allergies and all other food allergies

  • Diabetic-friendly, low-sugar, low-salt, and low-fat options
  • Baby, toddler, and children’s meals
  • Religious, cultural, and personal preference-based diets

 

And it is all completely free of charge. If our chefs need to prepare something special just for you, there is never any extra cost.

Simply note your requirements when you book, or email us in advance at online@cityandseaadonis.com, and everything will be ready before you step on board. If you have a severe allergy, please share the details so our kitchen team can take every precaution to keep you safe.

Your cruise is fully catered from start to finish. Every day includes three buffet meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) freshly prepared by our onboard chefs, plus a daily afternoon tea with snacks and desserts as you sail, and a fresh basket of premium local fruit refilled in your cabin each day. Our buffets feature both Egyptian and international cuisine, with a wide variety of hot and cold dishes at every meal.

Unlimited drinks are included around the clock (water, soft drinks, and local alcoholic beverages) whether you’re dining in the restaurant, relaxing on the sundeck, or unwinding in your cabin. There’s nothing extra to pay.

Arrival & Departure Guidelines

Please note: This package three-night Cleopatra cruise does not include guided excursions by default. However, you are welcome to book any sightseeing tours directly with us upon arrival at our reception for an additional fee. The guidelines below apply if you plan to arrange guided excursions with us on your first or last day. If you are seeking the same length and cruise package but with all guided excursions included, accompanied by a certified Egyptologist tour guide and offered in English, German, French, Spanish, or Italian, we invite you to discover our three-night Osiris Odyssey cruise package, [click here to learn more].

We recommend booking your flight to arrive in Aswan before eleven in the morning. This time refers to your landing at Aswan Airport, not the time you reach the ship. Our representative will meet you at the airport with a welcome sign, assist with your luggage, and transfer you directly to the Nile cruise ship. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed at reception for check-in and offered a refreshing welcome drink. Once everything is completed, it’s usually around one in the afternoon – the perfect time for your cabin to be ready so we can hand you the keys and you can settle in comfortably.

Arriving earlier at Aswan Airport, whether at dawn or in the early morning, is absolutely fine. Our complimentary pick-up service operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and we’ll be there to welcome you. Please note that while you’ll be able to board the ship upon arrival, your cabin may not be ready before one in the afternoon. In that case, you’re welcome to relax in the reception area and enjoy the ship’s amenities until your room is available. If your cabin is ready earlier, we’ll gladly give you access right away. However, if the ship is full and the previous guest hasn’t yet checked out, we’ll need to wait until housekeeping has cleaned and prepared the room before you can enter.

If you’re unable to arrive early on the first day, that’s absolutely fine. We’ll adjust the program so you can still enjoy the missed visits on the second day, Tuesday. However, please note that in this case, you won’t have time to join the optional Abu Simbel excursion, which is normally scheduled for Tuesday morning.

We recommend booking your flight from Luxor after four in the afternoon. This timing ensures you can fully enjoy the morning sightseeing program, which finishes around twelve noon, while still having a smooth journey to your departure point. After the tours, we’ll return to the ship for checkout and luggage collection, then provide a direct complimentary transfer to Luxor Airport. By scheduling your departure after four in the afternoon, you’ll have plenty of time for check-in and security at the airport without any rush, guaranteeing you make your flight comfortably and on time.

This is our recommended schedule and set of tips for your arrival and departure. If your flight does not align exactly with these times, please contact us at online@cityandseaadonis.com. We will be happy to review your individual travel plans and provide our best recommendation. We always strive to accommodate our guests’ needs and remain as flexible as possible whenever we can.
