A 5-star standard Nile cruise is the most popular class of river cruising in Egypt — a full-service five-star ship sailing between Luxor and Aswan. “Standard” marks the ship tier within the five-star class, sitting just below deluxe and ultra-luxury vessels: the same iconic route and temples, at a more accessible price.
Flights, Egypt visa, drinks and tipping are typically extra — we confirm exactly what’s included before you book.
The classic sailing route between Luxor and Aswan is the highlight of every itinerary. Sailing southbound (Luxor → Aswan) takes 4 nights; northbound (Aswan → Luxor) takes 3 — the same legendary stops, either direction.
Four quick things to weigh up before you book your sailing.
4 nights from Luxor covers all the essential temples; 3 nights from Aswan suits a shorter break. 7 nights adds a slower pace and extra sites.
Every ship in this class is full five-star — choose by sailing day, cabin layout and the onboard style that suits you.
October to April is mildest and best for sightseeing. Spring and autumn are ideal; avoid peak summer heat.
Popular sailing days sell out fast in peak season — reserving early locks in your preferred date and cabin.
