Things to consider before booking your Nile Cruise Though you may be keeping to a strict budget, sometimes it is best stretching this slightly further for your health’s sake. One thing we never do is book cruises below 5-star standard and we are often asked why this is. This is because experience has shown us that more people suffer from stomach problems on sub-5-star cruises and so because we want you to enjoy every possible minute of your trip, we just refuse to book these cruises. No, every 4-star cruise does this, there are many superb cruises of this standard, but we simply will not put our customer’s health at risk.

We are often asked what the difference between 5 star and 5-star deluxe cruises are. Well, the star ratings get higher as the facilities and overall standard of the accommodation gets better and so it is easier to imagine 5 star deluxe (or any suffix added to 5 stars) as being 6 stars; something that those who fix the star ratings seem feared to utilize. Better amenities; better menus; larger and more luxurious cabins; masseurs and masseuses; Jacuzzis: the higher the star rating, the higher the standard! So please, if you can, ensure you get yourself booked on a good standard of a cruise boat. Prepare for the Egypt package before you go: 

So, now you have bought your package and you should have an itinerary supplied by your travel agent. Here is where a very important part of your planning comes in: read the itinerary! This may sound like a stupid thing to say, but that schedule has been composed to help you and can hold many hidden ideas for you.

You have a Nile cruise; so straight away you should be thinking of what you will require for this ... swimwear and casual, but smart, clothing for dinner are two things you will need.


You are visiting all the major sites; good comfortable shoes will be needed, not new ones that will cause blisters on your heels ... break them in first.

So go through your itinerary and work out what you will need to take with you, and start putting them aside early, do not wait until the last minute when panic can cause you to forget that all important item:

Your camera needs batteries so make sure you have some spare ones (even though you can purchase them in Egypt).

It is going to be hot, so pack your cotton clothes, and underwear, which prevents irritations that man-made fabrics can cause.

If you are on prescribed medication, make sure you have enough for your trip; again, you can get prescriptions filled in Egypt, so bring it/them with you.

Make up a mini-medical kit with plasters, headache tablets, mosquito repellent, sun cream, safety pins etc.

Once you have everything ready you will find it is easier to relax before departure and you will not have that last-minute run to the shops to get something. This will now give you many


opportunities to start memorizing the itinerary so that you know, once you get here, where you are going. Oh, and do not forget to pack the itinerary ... it is always handy to have with you.
