I am looking for cruise only no flights no guided tours, just full board. I have done the cruise 12 times with my late wife and just want to relax.

This is a very good choice, it's available all the summer in the available days of week you can check in the calendar.

Is it possible to take a French guide as an option?

Can you indicate the name of the boat and if different cabin classes are available?

I was just curious on if i will be picked up at the airport when I fly into Luxor from Cairo or do I need to meet my guide somewhere else? Also, I plan on taking a train back to Cairo from Luxor. Will I have assistance getting to the train station?

We will pick you up from Luxor Airport then meet your guide to give you all the details of your cruise. Last day we will hive you also a free transfer to Luxor Railway station no worries at all.

Would she be able to join this trip and share a room as 3 travellers? Would there be a pool on board the ship?

We will share the tours with small group but it's not available sharing cabins with others the cabin must be private. Yes there's a pool on the sunroof of the boat.

Could you please tell me where I can book 2 cabins, Which boat it will be, and if we can pay extra for all inclusive.

about the cabins you can choose here on TourRadar, about all inclusive it can't be unfortunately because the boat itself hire the bars to another 3rd party companies. Also the entrance fees are regularly changed by the egyptian government, please note that we have 42 boats sailing on the Nile all of them are 5 stars boats Egyptian Government Standard BLUE SHADOW I, SAPPHIRE, BLUE SHADOW II, BEAURIVAGE, CONCERTO, REGENCY, CROWN JEWEL, CHAMPOLLION II, SARA I, OPERA, SMERAMIS I, SMERAMIS II, HAPI & MORE.... Your boat will be defined according to sailing schedule, which changes regularly and availability but we can guarantee you cabin on 5 stars boat.

Are you able to send me a list of airlines that service Luxor from Cairo and schedules if possible with prices? I'd like to make my reservations ahead of time.

the most prefered airline for travelers is Egypt Air, I don't know the exact prices as they change it regularly and different totally from date to date you can check it online for the date you require, but currently we as Egyptology Travel don't have available tickets.

Is insurance included in the package?

Travel insurance is not included and it's recommended to arrange this separately before your trip.

Will we receive a confirmation of our booking?

The confirmation of the boat will be sent about 90 days before departure according to availability.

I'd like to know cruise ship we would be going on, nile cruise 7 days, also pictures

  So if we booked the 23rd December we would get on the boat in the morning? Then it should end 30th December in the morning but it's saying on your site 29th December?

  If you start on 23rd December it takes 7 days 6 nights. You will start on 23 December, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 so you will finish on 29 morning clearly as it's the 7th day, it's correct on website.
