Deluxe MS Semiramis II Nile Cruise

Upon your arrival in Luxor, your unforgettable five-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan begins. Meet your private tour guide and delve into the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization as you explore the iconic archaeological sites along Luxor's East Bank. 

Marvel at the grandeur of Karnak Temple, a shimmering testament to over 1,500 years of devotion to the Theban triad—Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Spanning 247 acres, this vast complex features architectural masterpieces like the Avenue of Sphinxes and the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, showcasing the finest examples of ancient Egyptian artistry.

After a morning of exploration, proceed to your luxurious five-star Nile cruise for a delightful lunch and some well-deserved relaxation. 

As evening falls, prepare to be enchanted by the Luxor Temple by Night. Illuminated under the moonlight, this magnificent sanctuary once hosted the vibrant Opet Festival, celebrating the rejuvenation of kings. Wander through its golden corridors and experience the temple’s magical ambiance before returning to the cruise for a sumptuous dinner and a peaceful night onboard.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast aboard the cruise as you set sail towards the West Bank of Luxor. Your journey continues with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the illustrious final resting place of 63 pharaohs from the New Kingdom, including the legendary tombs of Ramses the Great and Tutankhamun. Wander through the illuminated tombs adorned with enchanting treasures and intricate hieroglyphics that narrate the stories of Egypt’s greatest rulers.

Next, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the Hatshepsut Temple, an eternal symbol of grace and architectural brilliance. Carved into the Deir El Bahari cliffs around 1479 BC, this temple honors the remarkable Queen Hatshepsut and the sun god Amun Ra, showcasing her legacy as one of Egypt’s most successful pharaohs. 

Conclude your West Bank tour with a visit to the towering Colossi of Memnon, majestic guardians of Amenhotep III’s legacy, standing tall since approximately 1350 BC.

After a day filled with historical wonders, return to your cruise for a delicious lunch and dinner. Set sail towards Edfu, enjoying the tranquil evening on the Nile as you spend the night onboard.

Begin your morning with breakfast on the cruise before embarking on a journey to the Edfu Temple, dedicated to the sky falcon god Horus. Built between 237 BC and 57 BC, this grand temple is one of Egypt’s best-preserved Greco-Roman sanctuaries. Marvel at its intricate carvings and monumental architecture, which stand as a testament to ancient Egyptian devotion and craftsmanship.

After soaking in the splendor of Edfu, return to the cruise for a leisurely lunch before continuing your voyage towards Kom Ombo. Here, you’ll visit the Kom Ombo Temple, a unique architectural gem honoring both Haroeris (Horus the Elder) and Sobek, the crocodile god of the Nile. Constructed between 180 BC and 47 BC, this dual-temple structure features separate sanctuaries and hypostyle halls, reflecting the harmonious worship of two distinct deities.

Enjoy a delightful dinner onboard as you sail towards Aswan, where you’ll spend the night surrounded by the serene beauty of the Nile.

After a refreshing breakfast, your Nile cruise continues with a tour of Aswan’s most celebrated landmarks. Begin with the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel built between 1960 and 1970 to bolster Egypt’s economy and culture by generating vital electricity and controlling the Nile’s floodwaters. Witness firsthand how this monumental structure has transformed the region.

Next, explore the Unfinished Obelisk, an extraordinary relic that offers a glimpse into the advanced techniques of ancient Egyptian stonemasons. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, this massive obelisk was intended to complement the Lateran Obelisk at Karnak but was abandoned due to a flaw in the granite.

Continue to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to Isis, the goddess of motherhood. Originally constructed in 280 BC by King Ptolemy II, this miraculous sanctuary was meticulously relocated to Agilkia Island during the UNESCO Nubia Campaign to preserve its divine legacy. Admire the temple’s intricate carvings and serene setting as you immerse yourself in its storied past.

After a day of exploration, return to your cruise for a delicious lunch and dinner, enjoying a peaceful night onboard as you sail along the timeless Nile.
