Thompson Nile Cruises 2011 offer Nile cruise packages[1] throughout the year, whilst they have only recently started offering these types of holidays they have grown to represent outstanding value for money.
What to Expect From Your Typical Nile Cruise with Thompson
A typical Nile cruise provided by Thompson consists of anywhere between 4 to 7 days in duration which usually also combines a short hotel stay either before or after the cruise which is also provided by Thompson so there is no need to book your own accommodation.
Any Thompson Nile River cruise you select will take you to some of the best tourist destinations in Egypt, usually starting your voyage in Luxor where you can visit the famous Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon.
Then as you progress down the river you will stop at Aswan and Esna amongst other places where you are free to explore the many archaeological sites at your leisure or participate in one of many group tours passengers can book themselves on to.
What to Expect From Your Accommodation
Due to the size of the Nile River itself you will not be cruising on a typical cruise ship which you often see in the brochures of companies from Royal Caribbean cruises and other similar cruises operators.
This is not to say however that the ship you will be accommodated in will not provide entertainment or activities for children and adults alike.
Furthermore, many of the cruise vessels used by Thompson Nile cruises for their cruises down the Nile are in fact certified 5 star cruise ships which means that you will receive the same standard of accommodation onboard as you would in a 5 star hotel anywhere in the world.
How Much Is It Going To Cost
Typical prices on a 7 night Thompson Nile Cruises 2011package including the cost of the flight to Egypt ranges from between £520 to £600+ per person which also includes all food and drink consumed aboard the ship.
Prices will obviously vary depending on the time of the year you wish to travel with peak summer prices sometimes topping £1500 per person for 7 night cruise.
Your choice of cabin will also affect the price of your holiday with prices in this article being based on the most basic accommodation provided, when deciding which cabin to select it is advisable to bear in mind the fact that you will actually spend very little inside your room, meaning a cheaper option often represents greater value for money.
