Uncover the secrets of Egypt with AmaWaterways

A glimpse of eternity in Cairo

Your Egyptian escapade begins in the heart of Cairo. From the moment you arrive, AmaWaterways’ dedicated team will ensure your every need is met with an evening welcome reception with drinks and tapas, setting the stage for a fuss-free and enchanting experience. Step back thousands of years at the Egyptian Museum, wandering through halls that house mummies, glittering treasures, and the intriguing riches of King Tutankhamun, this is a brand new experience for 2025. Then, proceed to the breathtaking Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world, where stories of the pharaohs are brought vividly to life.

The pyramids and a step back in time
Standing tall against the vast desert sky, the Pyramids of Giza are a sight that, even thousands of years after their creation, still leaves visitors awestruck. The sheer size and mystery of these ancient structures are humbling. Explore the Sphinx and wander through the necropolis of Memphis, home to the fascinating Step Pyramid of King Zoser, the oldest of its kind. Feel like royalty as you pause for lunch at the elegant Mena House hotel, opulently nestled under the shadows of the pyramids—a dining experience worthy of the setting.

The AmaWaterways Experience – your floating palace

Your journey continues by the river as you step aboard AmaWaterways’ AmaDahlia or AmaLilia which feels like being welcomed into a private palace. These ships redefine river cruising with their intimate and stylish design, boasting features such as spacious suites with panoramic views, inviting sun decks with a pool and bar, and curated fine dining that blends world-class culinary creations with regional flavours.

Wellness enthusiasts can enjoy the onboard spa and fitness centre, or you can simply relax and enjoy a cocktail on the deck, watching Egyptian villages float by. Your Cruise Manager will be with you every step of your journey, as well as expertly trained Egyptologists, who will share the many mysteries and secrets that have shaped Egypt’s past and continue to influence its future.

Mysteries of the Nile

Sailing south, the magic continues in Luxor, home to the enigmatic Valley of the Kings and the ornate Valley of the Queens. Walk where pharaohs once tread and marvel at Queen Nefertari’s Tomb (or its equally stunning alternative, Seti I Tomb). The colours and artistry in these tombs are so vivid, it feels like the centuries have melted away.

Evenings aboard the ship are just as captivating. Don traditional clothing for a themed cultural night, sip cocktails under a sky pierced by glowing stars, and enjoy the elegant simplicity of life along the Nile. Your adventure concludes in Cairo, but not before a regal and exclusive visit to the Abdeen Presidential Palace and an enlightening stroll through the soul-stirring Coptic Quarter.

Beyond the magic: Why a Disney cruise is the perfect holiday for every generation

01 September 2026

When you think of a Disney cruise, you might expect a holiday designed first and foremost for children. So, when Head Office colleague Steve Hawker booked a cruise on Disney Dream for his three young children, he expected them to have the holiday of a lifetime. What he didn't expect was that the rest of the family would be just as enchanted. Travelling as a group of 13 across three generations, the experience quickly became far more than a children's holiday. From the moment their family was announced on board to the sound of Disney's famous horn fanfare, it was clear this was a cruise designed to bring everyone together, no matter their age.

10 August 2026

When you think of a Caribbean cruise, it's often the ports of call that steal the spotlight. But Norwegian Cruise Line is changing that with its private island, Great Stirrup Cay.

Combined with new dining experiences, family attractions, and relaxing adults-only spaces, Great Stirrup Cay is evolving into a destination that's every bit as exciting as the cruise itself.
