SAIL THE NILE RIVER IN A STYLE ONCE RESERVED FOR PHARAOHS AND THEIR QUEENS UNIWORLD DELIVERS ROYAL TREATMENT ON 2009 NILE CRUISES
A cruise along the Nile River is like watching 5,000 years of culture unfold before your eyes. Marvel at the contrasts of landscapes as you sail past old-world villages surrounded by beautiful palm groves. Explore the mysterious city of Cairo where the ancient and the modern coexist in harmony. Stand before the towering Sphinx. Take in the extraordinary sight of the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza. Let yourself be whisked away to the magnificent monuments of Luxor, the spectacular Karnak Temple complex, and awe-inspiring Abu Simbel, one of the world’s most magnificent temples.
Discover this fascinating country steeped in world history and antiquities as Uniworld delivers the royal treatment on three exciting cruise itineraries aboard their newest ship, the ultra-luxurious River Tosca, which will take her maiden voyage down the Nile in April of 2009. According to Guy Young, president of Uniworld, “Many of our guests say visiting Egypt is something they have always dreamed about. We aim to make their adventure in Egypt and along the Nile a truly unforgettable experience with our newly appointed luxury boutique hotel-style cruise ship and three magnificent itineraries that highlight this country’s greatest wonders.”
On all three programs, Uniworld is offering great savings. If travelers book and pay in full by November 30, 2008, they can save up to $800 per couple ($400 per person), and if they book and deposit by December 31, 2008, they can save up to $400 per couple ($200 per person).
