Lake Nasser Cruises
   
Lake Nasser is located south of Aswan and stretches almost 300km. Cruising Lake Nasser is an unforgettable experience; the lake itself is beautiful and has a charming atmosphere, and the area is home to the Temples that were so painstakingly moved in the 1960’s from the rising waters of the lake by UNESCO. A Lake Nasser Cruise offers an unrivalled journey of discovery and natural beauty, in the comfort and luxury of deluxe accommodation.

Until the end of September 2008, we are featuring the 5* MS Eugenie for our Lake Nasser Cruises, and from 17 October 2008 we feature the 5* Movenpick MS Prince Abbas. Both ships are offered on a full board basis (includes all meals; drinks not included).

We recommend the Lake Nasser Cruise & Stay itinerary below, but can also feature a Lake Nasser Cruise in a tailor-made itinerary created specifically for you. Contact our experienced tailormade team for suggested itineraries and further information on 020 8418 2500.
