Travelmarvel Opens U.S. Bookings for 2028 Nile Cruises
Aboard the 62-cabin Travelmarvel Sirius, meals are served in the Nefertari Restaurant, while visiting dancers and musicians perform in the Ramses Lounge and Bar.
Travelmarvel has released its 2028/29 Egypt, Jordan and Morocco programme, featuring Nile cruises aboard the 124-passenger Travelmarvel Sirius. The new season adds an optional two-night hotel extension in Alexandria.
The programme builds on the brand’s previously released 2027 itineraries. It follows parent company APT Travel Group’s return to Nile cruising after an absence of more than a decade. The ship made its maiden voyage for Travelmarvel last month.
Commenting on the maiden voyage, David Cox, chief executive officer of The APT Travel Group, said of Egypt’s appeal to Americans, “we’re seeing it climb back to the top of travel wish lists.” He also described the Nile offering as a premium river cruise experience priced to appeal to American travelers.
The Alexandria extension includes accommodation at the Steigenberger Cecil Hotel. Guests will take a guided tour of the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa and the Citadel of Qaitbay, before continuing to the El Alamein War Cemetery.
Egypt cruises with Jordan and Morocco combinations
The 11-day “Treasures of Egypt and the Nile” itinerary begins and ends in Cairo, combining the capital with a seven-night cruise between Luxor and Aswan.
For passengers combining countries, the programme includes the 18-day “Treasures of Egypt and the Nile with Hidden Jordan” tour. Travelmarvel is also offering a “Treasures of Egypt and Morocco” itinerary.
A tour director qualified as an Egyptologist accompanies each Egypt journey and leads shore excursions. The maiden voyage included visits to Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings and Queens, Abu Simbel and Philae Temple. The Egypt programme also includes the Grand Egyptian Museum.
