Steigenberger Regency

Cruise along the Nile on the elegant and modern Steigenberger Regency.

A voyage on this spacious 236ft ship combines comfort and elegance with Egypt's fascinating ancient history.

With a guest list of 104 guests, the atmosphere on board is friendly and intimate - and with an excellent crew-to-guest ratio, you know you'll enjoy impeccable service on board.

Life while sailing on the Nile is slow and relaxing. During the heat of the day, you can cool off in the refreshing pool, put your feet up on the sun loungers, or perhaps pamper yourself with a massage from one of our on-board team. In the evening, head to the bar for cocktails with newfound friends while discussing the mysteries of Ancient Egypt or simply take in the views from the panoramic windows.

Complete the experience in our on-board restaurant, where our chefs will introduce you to local flavours as you watch the towns and villages that line the riverbanks glide by. Enjoy buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of international and Egyptian cuisine.

Enrichment

Egypt is entombed with magic and mystery. And there’s no better way to experience its ancient wonders than cruising along the mystical River Nile.

A journey of intrigue awaits on a Nile river cruise. We will visit some of the world-famous landmarks you love, as well as some that only the locals know about.

Excursions

No other place on Earth evokes mystery and wanderlust like Egypt. And there's no better way to experience this ancient and fascinating country than on a cruise along the Nile.

Delve into a civilisation that began over 5,000 years ago, exploring mighty monuments, once-hidden tombs and temples dedicated to strange and enigmatic gods. Starting in the capital city, Cairo - a fascinating fusion of Western, Islamic and Christian cultures - we'll explore many of the famous landmarks including the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum. Then board the Steigenberger Regency and relax as we navigate the majestic Nile River stopping at some of Egypt's most beloved sites. Sail to Edfu Temple, known for its rich cultural traditions, and witness gods immortalised in sandstone at Kom Ombo Temple and Abu Simbel. And carry on to Aswan - home to the High Dam and Philae Temple of Isis.

Some of the highlights on our Nile cruises may include:

• Seeing the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.
• Visiting important museums that show the breadth of Egyptian history, from the Coptic Museum to the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum.
• Visiting Tuna el-Gebel, the largest known Greco-Roman necropolis in Egypt.
• Seeing the tombs of famous figures in Egypt's history, such as Petosiris, Beni Hassan and Pharoah Akhenaten.
• Visiting the Temple of Seti at Abydos; one of the most mysterious sites of ancient Egypt.
• Seeing the temples of Karnak and Luxor.
• Gazing at the incredible rock-cut tombs of the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of the Nile.
• Seeing the sights of Aswan and experiencing a beautiful felucca ride.
• Visiting the oldest stone structure in the world, the 'Step Pyramid.'
• Visiting one of Egypt's famous modern achievements, the Aswan High Dam.

Useful Information

Smoking Policy

Passengers must observe the non-smoking policy on board the ships, hotels and other transport provided. If smoke is detected in any accommodation a cleaning fee of £165 per occurrence will be billed to the passenger's account. Smoking restrictions include e-cigarette smoking. If there is a violation of the non-smoking policy then passengers may be disembarked from the ship or asked to leave the hotel without refund.

Children

For holidays other than cruises we are unable to accommodate children under 9 years old at the date of departure. For cruises the minimum age limit is 12 years old at the date of departure. We reserve the right to limit the number of children on any particular cruise. Any minor must be accompanied by and share a cabin with an adult aged 21 or over. If the adult is not the minors parent a “parental consent guardianship form” must be signed by a parent or legal guardian prior to sailing.

What to Wear

Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country. As such, modest dress is appreciated. You should ensure that your shoulders and knees are covered. Due to the potential hot temperatures, it's a good idea to wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing made of linen or cotton. Given that we do visit some ancient historical sites that have uneven ground, it's also important to wear comfortable shoes. 

Popular Food in Egypt

Popular Egyptian dishes include shawarma (a dish featuring seasoned meat, usually chicken, lamb, or beef), koshari (made of rice, pasta, chickpeas, and lentils), and hawawshi (a stuffed meat sandwich made of ground beef or lamb). The food served onboard will provide you with Egyptian cuisine and flavours. However, we also provide other dining options to ensure we cater to everyone.

Payments Onboard

You can pay via card or cash when onboard. However, please bear in mind that we don't accept personal cheques, travellers' cheques, pre-paid credit cards, or currency cards onboard.
