The price of a Nile cruise in Egypt can vary widely depending on the level of luxury, duration, and the cruise operator. On average, expect to pay between $200 and $500 per person per night for a mid-range cruise. Budget options may start around $150 per night, while luxury cruises with top-notch amenities and personalized service can exceed $700 per night.
The ideal time to take a Nile river cruise is during the cooler months from October to April. During this period, daytime temperatures are pleasant, making sightseeing much more enjoyable. Avoid the peak summer months of June to August, when temperatures can soar above 40°C (104°F), which can be uncomfortable for outdoor activities.
Some of the best Nile cruises combine luxury, excellent service, and immersive cultural experiences. Highly recommended options include the Oberoi Philae, known for its five-star luxury; the Sanctuary Sun Boat IV, offering a blend of comfort and style; and the Nile Adventurer, which is praised for its boutique atmosphere. The best choice depends on your budget, preferred route, and the kind of onboard experience you want.
Most travelers find a 4 to 5-night cruise to be the perfect length. This timeframe allows enough time to visit the main historical sites in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan without feeling rushed. Shorter cruises of 3 nights are available but offer a more limited itinerary, while longer cruises (6-7 nights) may include additional stops and a more leisurely pace.
During the day, dress comfortably and lightly — breathable fabrics, hats, sunglasses, and comfortable shoes are recommended for excursions. In the evening, most cruises adopt a smart casual dress code, so men often wear collared shirts and trousers, while women choose dresses or nice pants and blouses. Some cruises hold special formal dinners, where more elegant attire such as cocktail dresses or suits is appreciated but not always mandatory.
