Where does the Jaz Crown Jewel start and finish?

Sailings operate between Luxor and Aswan in both directions. The direction of your cruise depends on the departure date, and we will confirm this when you enquire.

Do I need a domestic flight to reach the ship?

Most travellers fly from Cairo to Luxor or Aswan to join the cruise. The overnight sleeper train is an alternative if you prefer. We can arrange either.

Light breathable clothing for daytime, something warmer for evenings on deck in winter, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection and modest clothing for temple visits.

Are guides included at every site?

Yes. A qualified Egyptologist guide accompanies the shore excursions and explains each site as part of the cruise programme.

Can dietary requirements be catered for?

Vegetarian options are widely available. For gluten free, allergies or other specific needs, tell us at the time of booking so the kitchen can prepare in advance.

Is the Jaz Crown Jewel suitable for families?

Yes. A cruise means unpacking once, and the pool deck gives children downtime between morning excursions. Ask us about child rates and cabin configurations.
