  • Trip starting 30 December 202730 December 2027 to 6 January 2028On board for New Year’s Eve

Pick one of those dates in the booking form and the price updates on screen straight away. The seasonal rate is built into the total you see, applied to the whole package, so nothing is added at checkout and there is nothing extra to pay on board. Every other departure date is charged at the standard rate.

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 seven-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 Luxor to Aswan and back 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

Amun Adventure is this exact seven-night sailing with everything ashore included: a certified Egyptologist with you from arrival to departure, every entrance ticket, and all transfers and excursions. Karnak and Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, Edfu, Kom Ombo, the High Dam, Philae, the felucca and the Nubian show in Aswan, 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 Amun Adventure.

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
  • Pescatarian diets
  • 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.

You’ll see the available plans and full coverage details at the insurance step of your booking.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change. Cancellations must be made in writing by email to online@cityandseaadonis.com. The notice period is measured from the date of your first written cancellation request to your trip start (check-in) date.

Cancellation fees are calculated on the total booking value of all services in your booking, whether you have paid a deposit or the full balance.

Your refund is the amount actually paid toward the booking minus the applicable cancellation fee. If you have paid only a deposit, the fee is calculated on the total booking value and deducted from that deposit, with any remaining amount refunded. No refund is due if the fee equals or exceeds the amount paid. Refunds are returned to your original payment method.

If you have paid the booking in full, the refund is 85%, 75%, 50% or 0% of the total booking value for the respective notice periods above.

Add-ons and extra nights: Add-ons, optional services and extra nights follow the same written cancellation procedure and percentage schedule, using the same trip start (check-in) date. If you cancel only one or more of these services, the fee is calculated on the total price of the cancelled services, whether paid by deposit or in full. Any refund is the amount paid for those services minus that fee; no refund is due if the fee equals or exceeds that payment. The rest of your booking remains unchanged. Separate refund promises for services cancelled by the operator or unavailable because of weather still apply.

Have a billing question, or need to move your dates? Please contact us first, and we’ll always do our best to help before any cancellation.
