Facilities aboard the luxury ships include air conditioned en suite cabins, with tvs and mini bars, outside the cabins there are various sports available such as table tennis and billiards, as well as swimming on the large sundeck.  The sundeck is a great place for sun worshippers as there are ample sunloungers available to soak up the sun.

The luxury cruises travel between Luxor and Aswan, with many different programs available to cater for individual needs.  Guides are made available to tour the archaeological sights in Egypt.  You can choose a cruise which lasts anywhere between 3 to 7 nights, the number of nights you choose will depend upon what you want to get from your cruise, the more nights you choose, the more historical attractions you will see.
