Finding the Right Egyptian Cruise

There are several steps involved in finding the right Egyptian cruise. First, you’ll want to do a couple of things – talk to a travel agent to discuss ports you want to visit, or research yourself online. Then, you need to set a budget which will determine the cruise line and duration of the cruise. The peak season is costlier and the value season is the least expensive. The “shoulder” season – a couple of weeks before and after the peak season will offer savings. 

Contact your travel agent, or, if you don’t have one, one stop by and pick up some brochures about Egypt Cruises at a travel agency near your work or home. If you use a travel agent, they’ll check group space and may get you a lower rate if they can “place” your cruise with a large group. You may also get extra amenities this way – shipboard credit, a cocktail party, free photos, etc. Always ask for something extra, a travel agent might be able to get you some shipboard credit, or another amenity at no additional cost.

Do some research by either going through the brochures you’ve picked up, or by going online. Google some keywords – “Egyptian Cruises,” Egyptian ports,” “cruises to Egypt,”  “Mediterranean cruises” and similar phrases. Then visit these sites and cruise line sites and browse for information about the ports that interest you.

Read through the brochures and the online websites thinking about what you’d like to do on your Egyptian cruise – enjoy late night clubs and dancing, shop ’til you drop, gamble in the ship’s casino and/or snorkel and dive at some of the ports, etc. Are you single and wanting to meet other singles? Do you want a gay cruise? Interested in fine wines or country music? Are kids traveling with you & if so, is there a good children’s program on board? This will all help determine the cruise line(s) you should book with.

Determine your budget for your Egyptian cruise. Once you’ve decided what ports you’d like to visit, it’s time to set a loose budget.
