We recommend booking your flight to arrive in Luxor before eleven in the morning. This time refers to your landing at Luxor Airport, not the time you reach the ship.

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 Luxor 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 have the optional Abu Simbel excursion booked, we recommend scheduling your flight from Aswan on the last day, Monday, after four in the afternoon. This timing ensures you can fully enjoy the morning visit to Abu Simbel, which finishes around twelve noon, while still having a smooth journey to your departure point. After the tour, we’ll return to the ship for checkout and luggage collection, then provide a direct complimentary transfer to Aswan 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.
If you don’t have Abu Simbel booked, you may schedule your departure from Aswan for any time on Monday – morning, midday, or afternoon. Please note that cabin checkout is at ten in the morning, so you’ll need to vacate your room by then. However, you’re welcome to stay in the reception area or enjoy the ship’s amenities until it’s time for your transfer to the airport.
