Ancient wonders meet modern comforts

Step aboard the Steigenberger Regency and get ready to see the Nile the way it’s meant to be seen: up close and personal. Spend a week getting to know the ancient wonders that pepper the banks of this mighty river, with days that can be all about tombs and temples, and evenings that bring lively parties, great food, and five-star service. This is river cruising, Steigenberger-style: swish, sun-drenched, and unbelievably scenic. Read on for the full details, including the full itinerary and what you can expect on board… 

Please note, trips to the various sites mentioned in the itinerary are not included in our Nile Cruise holiday prices and packages, and are not provided by easyJet holidays. These activities are provided by our tours and experiences partner, Musement, and are marked with an asterisk in the itinerary. 

You’ll be accompanied to the ship on arrival and will be given details of the experiences bookable with Musement (and payable locally). During the sailing, an expert Egyptologist will collect you from the ship for each of the trips you've booked, ready to regale you with stories of the Nile.
