Nile Cruises 2012

If you’re looking ahead and thinking of booking your Nile cruise early, then we have a fantastic selection of Nile cruises in 2012.

Cruise the river Nile in 2012 and be taken on a journey through Egypt’s true heartbeat – at over 4000 miles in length the Nile is one of the world’s longest rivers and as such there is no better vantage point than from the deck of a river cruise ship. The banks of the Nile are awash with colour and a host of interesting wildlife species, including Nile crocodiles and Nile sunbirds. When stopping at port of call, many cruise lines will offer a range of shore excursions and trips which are ideal for exploring historical landmarks such as the Abu Simbel temples and the awe-inspiring statues of Ramesses II in the Karnak Temple.

Selected Nile cruises in 2012 also offer you the opportunity to visit Cairo, capital city of Egypt and also home to the Great Pyramids of Giza. The oldest of the world’s Seven Wonders, the Pyramids are the long-lasting legacy of a civilisation and culture that is as impressive today as it has ever been.

Due to the size of the river Nile there is a huge range of itineraries and specialist river Nile cruise lines to choose from. For example, you can relax on the luxurious Oberoi Zahra courtesy of Discover Egypt or take advantage of the brilliant service and excellent tours that are all part of the package on an APT Nile cruise. Each one of our chosen river cruise operators have been hand-picked with a view to providing you with the best 2012 Nile cruise experience.

Best time to visit the river Nile: Between March and November is often recommended due to the cooler temperatures, whilst many locks shut during April because of high water levels.
Weather: Egypt is one of the hottest countries in the world and as such rainfall is minimal if at all.
Flight times: Approximately 5 hours from London Gatwick to Aswan, though transport links are good and as such Luxor is a good entry point.
Recommended Nile tours: The Nile’s magnificent history lends itself well to all manner of shore excursions and trips – from Camel rides to visiting the temples of Abu Simbel our Cruise Experts will point you in the right direction for a life-enriching cruise add-on.
