River Cruise

Why I Chose This for You

This isn’t just a cruise — it’s a journey through living history. Egypt’s sites are breathtaking in scale and story, and this itinerary lets you experience them in comfort, without overwhelm. I chose it because it offers the magic of the Nile with the warmth of shared moments — ideal for solo travellers seeking something epic, yet easy.

About this Trip

Let Egypt enchant you — from the pyramids that have stood through millennia to the timeless flow of the Nile.


This thoughtfully curated solo-only journey blends three nights in Cairo, a seven-night voyage aboard the luxurious Steigenberger Regency, and two nights in Luxor. Along the way, you’ll walk among ancient temples, cruise past storybook scenery, and stand in awe at monuments that shaped civilisation. Guided seamlessly from start to finish, it’s the kind of adventure where solo travellers can relax into connection, comfort, and wonder.
