Plus, Insight Cruises offers you an optional program of excursions to a choice selection of the Nile River region’s monuments, temples, and tombs.

Luxor and Karnak temples, the Valleys of the Kings & Queens, the wondrous sites of Dendara, Abydos, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and more are on our excursion agenda.

If you’ve dreamed of visiting Egypt, please join us. You’ll love the eclipse experience! Gather unforgettable memories of the beauty of the Nile and gain appreciation of the imagination and ingenuity the ancient Egyptians used to build an astounding civilization.

Our 15-night cruise will be approximately 600 miles long.
