Accessibility
Who can join this
This Nile cruise requires moderate mobility. Guests should expect boarding via a gangway with steps at embarkation and disembarkation, narrow corridors on some cabin decks, and stairs between decks; elevators are not guaranteed. Shore excursions include walking on uneven ancient stone, stepped temple entrances, sandy riverbanks, and limited shade at outdoor sites, so comfortable, steady footing is necessary. Wheelchair users can travel with advance notice, but full independent wheelchair access is not available at many temples and tombs; some sites require transfers from the dock by tender boat. Please tell us about mobility needs before booking so we can advise which shore excursions are feasible and arrange assistance where possible. Crew and our ground team will help with embarkation and luggage handling, but expect some physical demands during excursions.

Children & families
Children 0 to 5.99 years travel free when sharing a cabin with parents. Children 6 to 11.99 years pay 50% of the adult fare, and children 12 years and older pay the full adult price. Children must share a cabin with their parents, maximum one child per cabin; two or more children require a separate cabin. Strollers are usable on board but may be awkward on docks and at some temple entrances because of steps; high chairs are not guaranteed on every vessel, so request one when booking.

How we travel here
The cruise typically uses diesel-engine river vessels and small tender boats for shore access; on-land transfers are by air-conditioned coaches arranged for embarkation and disembarkation. We contract locally based Egyptologists and crew, which supports the Luxor and Aswan economies through wages and seasonal employment. Where possible we source fresh fruit, vegetables, and bakery items from local markets rather than importing supplies. On board and in partner hotels we encourage linen reuse, single-use plastic reduction by offering refillable water stations, and sorting of recyclable waste; passengers are asked to minimise single-use plastics. Shore excursions include visits to small businesses and registered craft cooperatives when available, so tourism revenue reaches local suppliers directly. If you have specific sustainability priorities, tell us before booking and we will note them for our ground team.

MayFair Nile Cruise
Board the MayFair Nile Cruise for a five-star voyage along the Nile, sailing from Luxor to Aswan. It sails from Luxor to Aswan. The cruise follows the river corridor where Karnak, Luxor West Bank, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae are the classic stops along this stretch. We arrange guided visits, local transfers and Egyptologists to join you at the sites. We arrange private guided visits rather than large coach tours, which keeps group sizes smaller and timings more flexible. Unlike day trips run from Luxor, a multi-day cruise moves you between sites instead of returning each evening to one base. Evenings are typically spent on deck, watching river life and hearing short briefings from your Egyptologist. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and coordinate embarkation in Luxor and disembarkation in Aswan.
