PLEASE NOTE:  The order or content of your itinerary may be amended due to lock closures, low water levels or any other unforeseeable circumstances. Due to the increasing number of boats on the Nile, at some docking points boats are moored side by side obstructing the view from cabins. Occasionally, due to operational difficulties a change of vessel can occur which is beyond our control, this can happen without prior notice. It is very rare that the sightseeing itinerary will alter but due to circumstances beyond our control this can happen without prior notice.
