Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01 What is included on the MS Kleos 4-day Nile cruise?

   Prices for the MS Kleos cruise usually include full-board meals, cabin accommodation and scheduled guided shore excursions. Excluded items commonly include premium drinks, pyramid-interior tickets and gratuities; check your booking for exact inclusions. We avoid packing three major sites into a single two-hour stop and prefer paced visits when the itinerary permits.
2. 02 How do I get to the ship for the MS Kleos cruise?

   We arrange hotel pick-up and private transfers to the embarkation point according to your booked embarkation city. Please confirm your hotel name and preferred pickup time at least 72 hours before embarkation to allow for paperwork. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and handle local logistics for the MS Kleos.
3. 03 Can I visit Abu Simbel on a four-day MS Kleos cruise?

   Abu Simbel is rarely included on a standard four-day Nile cruise because it lies 280 km south of Aswan. Visiting Abu Simbel requires a long road transfer (early start) or a charter/short flight from Aswan; it is usually offered as a separate extension. If this is important, tell us at enquiry and we will propose an overnight Aswan option or a flight supplement.
4. 04 Are cabins on MS Kleos air-conditioned and en-suite?

   Cabins on MS Kleos are air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms; confirm cabin category and exact configuration at booking. Cabin sizes and storage vary by deck and category, so check the floorplan if you have mobility or luggage concerns. Upper-deck cabins typically have better views but can be warmer in the late afternoon.
5. 05 Is there Wi‑Fi and mobile phone signal on board MS Kleos?

   Wi‑Fi is provided on board but can be intermittent; mobile signal varies along the river. Expect stronger reception near towns such as Luxor and Aswan and weaker service in rural stretches. If you rely on internet for work, we recommend a local SIM or downloading maps and documents before departure.
6. 06 What should I pack for a 4-day Nile cruise on MS Kleos?

   Bring sun protection, comfortable walking shoes and a small day bag for shore visits. Add light breathable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, a thin fleece for cooler evenings, a passport copy and enough cash for tips and small purchases. For temple visits, bring modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees and comfortable sandals for uneven stone.
7. 07 Are shore excursions on MS Kleos suitable for guests with limited mobility?

   Shore excursions involve uneven stone, gangplanks and flights of steps, which can be difficult for guests with reduced mobility. We can often provide assistance from the crew, but wheelchair access is limited and some sites require steps or short walks on uneven surfaces. Tell us your mobility needs at booking so we can advise realistic options and plan suitable stops.
