Blue Shadow Nile Cruise

Duration: 3 or 4 nights
Departs: Wed · Sat
Style: Private Tour
From, per person: $500

Blue Shadow is a comfortable ship with a friendly, unhurried feel. Its standard cabins measure close to twenty-two square metres, a good size for the Nile, and a small number of suites offer extra room for those who want it.

The heart of the ship is its top deck, where a swimming pool and a pool bar are surrounded by sun loungers and open views of the passing countryside: green fields, water buffalo at the shore and the pale desert beyond. It is the natural place to gather in the late afternoon as the light softens over the water.

After a morning of temples, guests can work out in the fitness room, relax in the sauna or book a massage before dinner in the main restaurant. Blue Shadow is a sound choice for travellers who want dependable comfort and a warm, easy atmosphere between Luxor and Aswan.
