Why TUI Is a Top Choice for a Nile River Cruise

Taking a cruise down the Nile is a dream for many, but organising one can feel complicated and expensive. That’s where TUI comes in: with its fully packaged river cruises, you get the best of both worlds — a relaxing, all-inclusive experience and a carefully curated journey through ancient Egypt. Here’s why TUI stands out.

1. A Truly All-Inclusive Experience

One of the biggest advantages of TUI’s Nile River Cruises is how much is included in the price:

Your flights, three meals per day, and drinks (soft and alcoholic, where specified) are all covered.
Tips and service charges are included, so you don’t need to worry about hidden extras while on board.
You will also get 2 excursions included

This means once you’ve booked, you can relax — you’re not constantly thinking about “how much extra will this cost?”

2. Convenient, Direct Flights from the UK

TUI makes getting to the Nile as easy as possible: they operate direct, non-stop charter flights from London Gatwick and Manchester to Luxor.

These flights run weekly in the winter season, and makes the journey seamless.

3. A Cost-Effective Way to See the Nile

When you compare what’s included, TUI’s Nile cruises offer excellent value: you’re getting flights, transfers, meals, drinks, tips and excursions — all as part of one package.
For example, the TUI Al Horeya begins from around £1,169 per person for a 7-night all-inclusive cruise in our Black Friday Sale!

That’s a highly competitive way to explore iconic Nile destinations like Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan, without the stress of trying to navigate land travel in Egypt.

4. Transfers Included — No Hidden Journey Costs

TUI takes care of your airport-to-ship transport, meaning your journey from the plane to the river cruise is straight forward.

Knowing your transfers are already covered helps you budget more confidently — and once you’re on the ship, you don’t need to worry about getting between the airport and your floating hotel.

5. Two Excursions Included in the Price

Perhaps one of the most compelling benefits: two guided excursions are already part of your cruise package.

6. Licensed Egyptologists Onboard

TUI ensures a rich cultural experience by having licensed Egyptologists on their Nile cruises.

These experts don’t just guide excursions — they’re available during the cruise to give talks, answer questions and deepen your understanding of the sites you’ll visit. That means your holiday isn’t just scenic; it’s educational.

Final Thoughts: Why a TUI Nile Cruise Is a Smart Bet

If you’re looking for ease, value, and an immersive experience, TUI’s Nile River Cruises are hard to beat. You’re not just booking a cruise — you’re booking peace of mind:

Everything is bundled — flights, meals, drinks, tipping, transfers, even excursions — so you don’t face hidden costs or surprises.
You benefit from expert-led, culturally rich excursions without having to navigate local operators or plan complicated logistics.
The direct flights from the UK make it accessible, and the ship itself is a relaxing, stylish place to soak in Egypt’s history.

Whether you’ve dreamed of exploring ancient temples or simply drifting under the warm Egyptian sun on the Nile, TUI makes it not just possible, but genuinely straightforward, affordable and unforgettable.
