Why We Love This Deal

On this trip of a lifetime, follow a professional Egyptologist to the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Then, fly to Luxor and board an authentic masted sailing ship for a weeklong Nile cruise that reaches ports bigger ships can’t. Travel with a maximum of 16 guests for a curated experience.

Comparable trips with larger ships cost $1900–$5600 more, while true luxury options like this often run around $20,000—when they’re available at all.
