For more than five thousand years the Nile has been Egypt’s highway, and a river cruise is still the most relaxed and rewarding way to explore the temples and tombs of the south. You unpack once, watch the desert and palm groves drift past from the sun deck, and wake each morning beside a different ancient wonder. There are no early airport transfers and no changing hotels.
Between Luxor and Aswan the river threads together the greatest concentration of monuments anywhere in Egypt: Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, the beautifully preserved temple at Edfu, the riverside double temple of Kom Ombo, and the island sanctuary of Philae. A guided programme such as the Osiris Odyssey links them all in a single, unhurried journey.
Almost every Nile cruise sails the stretch between Luxor and Aswan, around 200 km of river that takes in the most famous sites in Upper Egypt. Shorter programmes sail one way, while longer ones such as the Amun Adventure sail round trip, giving you more time at each stop and a slower, more immersive pace.
Start with the best time to cruise the Nile to pick your season, then choose the programme that fits your trip: the 4-day Osiris Odyssey, the 5-day Horus Holiday, or the 8-day Amun Adventure. Every programme includes guided excursions with a licensed Egyptologist, all meals on board, and a cabin or suite aboard the M/S City & Sea Adonis. When you are ready, our team is here to help you choose.
Our guided programmes run 4, 5 or 8 days, with 3, 4 or 7 nights aboard. The shorter Osiris Odyssey and Horus Holiday cover the essential highlights between Luxor and Aswan, while the 8-day Amun Adventure gives you more time at each site and a more relaxed pace.
Both directions sail the same stretch of river and see the same temples, so the direction simply depends on your chosen dates. Your itinerary will confirm which way your cruise sails.
