Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a Pharaohs Cruise package?

+

Our all-inclusive Pharaohs Cruise packages include:

  • Luxury cabin accommodation
  • All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
  • Guided tours with expert Egyptologists
  • All entrance fees to historical sites
  • Onboard entertainment
  • Port charges and taxes

How do I get from New Zealand to the cruise?

+

Most Pharaohs Cruise itineraries begin in Luxor or Aswan. From New Zealand, you'll typically fly to Cairo (via Dubai, Doha or other hubs), then take a short domestic flight to Luxor. We can arrange:

  • International flight recommendations
  • Domestic Egypt flights
  • Airport transfers in Egypt
  • Pre-cruise hotel stays in Cairo

What's the best time of year for Kiwis to take a Nile cruise?

+

The ideal time for New Zealand travelers is October through April when temperatures are pleasant (20-30°C). This avoids both the extreme summer heat and coincides nicely with NZ school holidays. Our NZ Winter Escape deals (June-August) offer great value if you don't mind warmer weather.

Is Egypt safe for New Zealand travelers?

+

Yes, the Nile cruise route between Luxor and Aswan is very safe for tourists. We take extra precautions for our New Zealand guests:

  • 24/7 security on all Pharaohs Cruise ships
  • Licensed, vetted guides
  • Secure transportation
  • NZ government travel advisory updates

What should I pack for my Nile cruise from NZ?

+

Essential items for pharaohstravelers include:

  • Light, breathable clothing
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
  • Modest attire for temple visits
  • NZ power adapter (Egypt uses Type C/F plugs)
  • Basic first aid supplies
