17-NIGHT NILE RIVER CRUISE • JULY 27th – AUGUST 13th, 2027 (ss MISR)
CURRENTLY SOLD OUT — waitlist bookings are available. Inquire here.
Experience over six minutes of totality in Luxor, the heart of ancient Egypt — with cold beverages, ample shade, and air conditioning right at hand. Watch from our cruise ship — King Farouk’s luxury yacht — MÖVENPICK s.s. MISR (history) or disembark and watch from the Sofitel Winter Palace’s (Wikipedia) century-old Royal Gardens (slide show). [NOTE: The name of our ship, Misr, means ‘frontier’ and is pronounced ‘miss her’. Misr is the Arabic name for Egypt] (3-minute video — WOW!)
Along the way to totality, you can enrich your eclipse experience with our LECTURES program.
Plus, Insight Cruises offers you an optional program of excursions to a choice selection of the Nile River region’s monuments, temples, and tombs. We’ll be on the lookout for specific astronomical features while visiting other sites not tied to the sky yet still looming large in the world’s imagination. 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.
