Sun Deck

After a busy day of sightseeing, head out to the Sun Deck, where a large outdoor swimming pool and reclining lounges offer the perfect place to relax. Purchase a cool drink from the Tutankhamun Terrace Cafe and enjoy it while admiring the passing scenery along the Nile.

Ramses Lounge and Bar

Escape to the relaxed and refined, air-conditioned Ramesses Lounge & Bar — the perfect place to unwind during your onboard leisure time. A drinks package with lunch and dinner, including two glasses of local wine, local beer, juices or soft drinks, plus tea and coffee is included. Water is available throughout the day.

From traditional music and dance performances to engaging local showcases, there’s always something to enjoy. Additional activities such as trivia or informative talks may also be available during your journey.

Reception

With 75 crew members serving a maximum of just 124 guests, attentive service is a hallmark of your Nile River cruise. Throughout your journey, you can expect professional, friendly, and personalised care at every turn.

Enrichment

Enrichment on the Travelmarvel Sirius extends into the evening with a lively programme of onboard events. Delight in traditional Egyptian folklore displays featuring authentic music and dance, and immerse yourself in local culture during our themed Galabeya evening.

Your itinerary uncovers legendary landmarks, from grand monumental temples and historic burial sites to the lesser-known gems that sit quietly along the edge of the Nile.

Cairo Unveiled

Uncover the layers of Egypt’s capital on a guided city tour. Stand before the Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza. Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), home to the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic treasures. 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.

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 Kings, 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.

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. 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.

Felucca Cruise

Glide along the Nile aboard a traditional felucca — a wind-powered sailboat with broad canvas sails and cushioned decks. 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.

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.

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.

Dining

With 75 crew members serving a maximum of just 124 guests, attentive service is a hallmark of your Nile River cruise. Throughout your journey, you can expect professional, friendly, and personalised care at every turn.

Nefertari Restaurant

Dine in the Nefertari Restaurant, unwind with a cool drink in the Ramesses Lounge and Bar, or purchase a barista-made coffee in the Tutankhamun Terrace Cafe. A drinks package with lunch and dinner, including two glasses of local wine, local beer, soft drink or juice of your choice is included, plus tea and coffee. Water is available throughout the day.
