Nile River Cruise on Uniworld
Return of the Nile River Cruise
After the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, Uniworld pulled all of its Nile river cruises. Demand had dropped to zero. I mean, who wants to visit a country when it’s in the middle of a revolution? But in 2015 Uniworld is returning to its Nile river cruise.
While river cruise companies are fleeing Russia faster than you can say “spoiled smetana,” Uniworld is returning to a country it decided to leave a few years ago.
Splendors Of Egypt & The Nile
Uniworld’s Splendors Of Egypt & The Nile river cruise launches in October 2015. The trip begins with 4-days at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza and then passengers will board Uniworld’s River Costa for an 8-day, Cairo to Cairo, Nile river cruise. Highlights include a Gala Reception. High tea at the Old Cataract Hotel Aswan. A boat ride on traditional Nile River felucca. A visit a Nubile Nubian village. And four – count them – four UNESCO sites.
The Temples of Karnak and Luxor.
Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
The Valley of the Kings.
The Temple of Horus.
Getting the chance to explore the ancient capital of Memphis is one of those bucket list adventures. And I don’t mean the section of Memphis where Graceland is located. The Great Sphinx and the three Pyramids of Giza are considered to be the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
River Tosca
You’ll cruise in luxury onboard Uniworld’s ship the River Tosca. The River Tosca is a beautiful, all-suite, 82-max-passenger ship.
I love that it only carries 82 people. That makes for a wonderfully intimate Nile river cruise.
The ship comes with a sun deck, cabanas and a swimming pool. A gym. Massage room. Wireless internet.
And more luxury than you can shake a Was Scepter at.
The Perfect Nile River Cruise
This Nile river cruise is amazing and perfect for anyone interested in history or archeology. So pack your Cleopatra dress and get your asp on over to Uniworld’s fantastic Nile river cruise.
