Nile Cruise With Insight Vacations
Nile Cruise and Egypt With Insight Vacations
The opening of the Nile river has opened a flood of Nile cruise companies returning to Egypt. Last week I wrote about Combo Holidays and UK-based Orbital Travel. This time it’s Toronto-based Insight Vacations diving into the Nile cruise waters.
Insight Vacations the leader in premium and luxury escorted journeys, celebrated their return to Egypt this month with their first trip back to the land of the Nile, taking a group of guests and a small global contingent of media hosted in part by global CEO, John Boulding. The group experienced the 10-day Wonders of Egypt itinerary with Insight’s exclusive Signature Experiences including visits to Giza, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings.
The Art of Touring in Style
Upon arrival in Egypt, guests are met by local guides prior to passport control to ensure the process goes smoothly and hassle-free, assisting with acquiring an arrival visa and arranging private transfers from Cairo International Airport to the Cairo Marriott, an Insight Vacations Signature Hotel where guests will receive a genuine Egyptian welcome for their stay. With a fantastic selection of local and international cuisine, welcoming staff and premium amenities such as a fitness centre, spa and shops, guests will have everything they need. The Cairo Marriott is centrally located in downtown Cairo, surrounded by cafes, popular restaurants and shops all conveniently within walking distance.
Guests on the Wonders of Egypt will enjoy a four-day luxury cruise from Luxor to Aswan along the Nile River complete with an elegant Egyptian dinner and galabeya party. On this first departure, guests were treated to a stay on the luxurious River Tosca cruise ship, which is operated by sister brand Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and is slated to be regularly featured on Insight’s Elegance of Egypt and Elegance of the Pharaohs Gold Luxury escorted journeys commencing September 2015.
