Due to seasonal low water levels in the Nile, or due to congestion or maintenance of the Esna locks, changes to the itinerary may occur. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on an equivalent ship may be required to ensure the itinerary.
****************************************
As the ship offered is a motor ship, operational noise may occur.
****************************************
The ships dock partly one behind the other or side by side, so it may be necessary to cross other ships. It is possible that the ship may not always be accessible.
****************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constantly giving tips on board, your local tour guide collects an amount of €8 per person per night on the boat, depending on the ship's category, at the beginning of the trip. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
****************************************
When booking this ship, accommodation will be on the MS Nile Serenity or another ship with similar amenities and of the same category.
