Sailing from Aswan to Luxor is the shorter way to cruise the Nile: usually three nights on board, heading north with the current, and the easiest direction to fit around a Cairo flight. You meet the same temples as the southbound cruise — Philae and the High Dam at Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the lock at Esna, then Karnak, Luxor Temple and the West Bank tombs at the end of the trip.

Not sure which way to go? Our guide to Aswan to Luxor or Luxor to Aswan sets out the real differences, and the complete Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise guide covers the trip from boarding to the last morning. Starting in Aswan also puts Abu Simbel within a day's reach before you sail.

Before you ask

Itinerary questions, answered honestly

When is the best time to take a Nile cruise?

The Nile cruise season runs year-round, but each period offers a distinct experience:

  • October to April — Most pleasant weather. Warm days (68–86°F / 20–30°C), cool evenings; perfect for temple sightseeing.
  • December and January — Peak months, especially around Christmas and New Year. Festive atmosphere, fully-booked ships.
  • March and April — Excellent weather, fewer crowds than December.
  • May to September — Hot summer months (95–108°F / 35–42°C). Lower prices, quieter ships.

Most travelers prefer the November–March window for the ideal balance of weather, atmosphere and value.

Do I need a visa to visit Egypt?

Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival ($30 USD) or apply for an e-Visa online before traveling. Always check the latest requirements for your country at your nearest Egyptian embassy.

How do I book a cruise?

Send us your dates and preferences via the inquiry form or WhatsApp. We respond within 2 hours with a personalized proposal. Once you confirm, a 40% deposit secures your booking, with the balance due 30 days before arrival. Cancellation is free up to 45 days before arrival (60 days at Christmas, New Year and Easter).

Are Nile cruises suitable for solo travelers?

Absolutely. Most ships offer dedicated solo rates. The atmosphere onboard is welcoming with shared dining tables and onboard activities — many solo travelers tell us they made lifelong friends.

Can you arrange airport transfers?

Yes — every booking includes meet-and-greet at the airport plus private transfers to your hotel or cruise ship. Free of charge.

Is Wi-Fi available on Nile cruises?

Most modern ships offer free Wi-Fi in public areas and cabins. Connection speed varies by location along the Nile (better near major cities, weaker between). Most guests use it for messaging rather than streaming.

Can I modify my booking after confirmation?

Yes. Changes of date, ship or hotel level are free of charge if you ask 45 days or more before arrival (60 days for Christmas, New Year and Easter dates), subject to availability; any difference in price is charged or refunded. Later changes are treated as a cancellation and a new booking — see our Cancellation Policy.

How do seasonal prices work?

We use 5 transparent seasons: Low (May–Aug), High (Sept–Apr), Easter Week, Christmas (Dec 21–Jan 5), and Peak Christmas (Dec 27–Jan 1). The same cabin can vary 2–3× in price depending on season.

Are alcoholic drinks available?

Yes — onboard bars serve beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits. Drinks are typically charged separately ($5–15 each). Some all-inclusive packages include drinks; ask at booking.
