CRUISE ITINERARIES Nile Cruise itineraries and excursions can, for operational reasons,be subject toalteration locally at short notice. With the introduction of a second lock at Esna it is anticipated that there will
no longer be the need to close it during June and early December. If a lock closure does occur then guests
will join and leave the boat in Esna. Cruises will then sail Esna-Aswan-Esna.All excursions will take place but
not necessarily in the order given. During certain periods the boat may have to sail after dark therefore the
number of hours of daylight sailing is subject to change.
When the boat is moored, vessels may have to berth alongside each other restricting views and requiring
clients to pass through a number of boats to disembark.Upon disembarkation clients will be required to
walk along a gangplank and there may be steps to climb.For this reason we do not recommend Nile cruises
for the disabled or those with impaired mobility.
Alexander The Great operates from a Tuesday to Monday which means the first night on arrival will be spent
at a hotel in Luxor.
TIPPING & ON BOARD ACCOUNTS All meals on our Nile cruises are included. The only additionalexpenses are drinks (unless on All Inclusive basis where drinks are included), tips, souvenirs and optional
excursions available on board.A credit system operates on board the boat whereby all extras will be billed to
your cabin and settled at the end of your cruise. There are limited money exchanging facilities on board so it
is advisable to ensure that you have enough local currency although your guide will allow time for a bank stop
during your cruise.Tipping is a way of life in Egypt. People in the service industry rely heavily on tips. On a Nile
cruise you will be asked to pay an amount at the start of your cruise from which your guide will pay all tipping
onshore throughout your holiday. It is then customary to tip the staff on board at the end of the cruise.
ACCOMMODATION Our accommodation is normally based on 2 adults sharing a standard cabin orroom with facilities as specified in the respective description. In the case of a sole occupancy,a supplement
will be chargeable. The third bed in a triple room/cabin is normally a foldaway or sofa-bed.
We prefer to use our own rating system for all featured accommodation based on the views and appraisals
of our staff and these are given in good faith as a guide only.
