Ramses Lounge and Bar

Escape to the relaxed and refined, air-conditioned Ramses Lounge & Bar — the perfect place to unwind during your onboard leisure time.

Additional activities such as trivia or informative talks may also be available during your journey.

Enrichment

During your cruise aboard Travelmarvel Sirius, shore excursions are enhanced with evening entertainment. Delight in a local folklore demonstration with music and cultural dance and take part in a traditionally themed Galabeya Party.

Cairo Unveiled

Uncover the layers of Egypt’s capital on a guided city tour. Stand before the Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza — timeless symbols of ancient ingenuity that continue to inspire awe. Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), home to the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic treasures, where Tutankhamen’s legacy and Egypt’s golden age come vividly to life. Wander through the alleyways of Old Cairo, where centuries-old churches and mosques reflect a rich tapestry of faith and culture. End your day at Khan el Khalili bazaar, a sensory feast of spices, silver and storytelling.

Karnak Temple

Explore Karnak, the largest religious structure ever built and a sacred site for over 2,000 years. Dedicated to the Theban Triad — Amun, Mut and Khonsu — this vast temple complex showcases the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Wander through the Hypostyle Hall, where 134 towering columns still bear traces of original paint and inscriptions. Discover the sacred lake and ceremonial avenues once used by pharaohs in rituals to honour the gods and renew cosmic order.

Valley of the Kings and Queens

Journey to the West Bank of the Nile to explore Egypt’s most sacred burial grounds. In the Valley of the King, over 60 tombs — including that of Tutankhamen — lie beneath the pyramid-shaped peak of Qurn, believed to symbolise the sun god Re. Nearby, the Valley of the Queens offers a more secluded setting, with over 90 tombs hidden in the hills, including the exquisitely decorated tomb of Queen Nefertari. Discover vivid wall paintings, rare inscriptions and sacred artefacts that reveal the rituals, beliefs and artistry of Egypt’s New Kingdom.

Aswan High Dam

A modern marvel of engineering, the Aswan High Dam transformed Egypt’s relationship with the Nile. Completed in 1970, this colossal rock-fill structure spans the river at Aswan, controlling annual floods and powering the nation with hydroelectric energy. Its creation formed Lake Nasser — one of the world’s largest man-made reservoirs — and enabled irrigation, navigation and agriculture on an unprecedented scale.

Temple of Dendera

Step into one of Egypt’s most elaborate temple sites, where centuries of devotion are etched in stone. Within its walls lie a basilica, two birth houses, a sacred lake, and a network of shrines and temples spanning the Pharaonic, Ptolemaic, and Roman eras. At its heart stands the Temple of Hathor — a masterpiece of ancient architecture and celestial symbolism. Wander through ornate halls, explore sacred spaces, and glimpse the famed Zodiac of Dendera — a celestial map once carved into the temple ceiling.

Felucca Cruise

Glide along the Nile aboard a traditional felucca — a wind-powered sailboat with broad canvas sails and cushioned decks. As the sun begins to set, take in the tranquil beauty of Aswan from the water, where palm-fringed banks and ancient silhouettes drift by. With no motor to disturb the peace, this timeless journey offers a rare moment of stillness, connection and reflection.

Dining

Dine in the Nefertari Restaurant, relax with a drink in the Ramsess Lounge and Bar or an espresso in the Tutankhamun Terrace Cafe. Enjoy select local beer and wine with lunch and dinner, with unlimited soft drinks, juices, water, tea and coffee available throughout the day.

Restaurant

Savour a selection of delicious local and international dishes in the ship’s climate-controlled Nefertari Restaurant, or dine al fresco at the Tutankhamun Terrace Cafe on the Sun Deck, where stunning views accompany every meal.
