26th April 2012 - Nile cruise is one of the most pleasurable trips of any person’s life and often the most memorable one too.
Nile Cruises Rate often keeps fluctuating depending on a number of factors such as amenities, period of travel and the ship or yacht booked.
The prices vary considerably depending on the kind of service provided to the tourists through the journey as well as the kind of ship which are chosen for the cruise.
As far as amenities are concerned you can expect as lavish facilities as that provided in land base 5 star hotels. You can avail the facility of swimming pool, gymnasium, discotheques, golf course, live dance shows and other cultural activities etc. If you are willing to afford then there is practically nothing which can’t be provided to you on board the ship. You would receive royal treat and every moment that you spend on the ship will make you feel like a king.
Secondly, the price of such Nile cruises will also vary considerably on the period chosen for travel. Since Egypt is a warm country with summer almost unbearable wit scorching heat, tourists prefer the months between March and November as these are the cooler months. Also, there are some months during which many locks are found to be shut because of the exceeding increase in the water level. So such periods are often off season periods and the rates of cruises availed during this time is lower than that between March and November.
The kind of ship booked for the Nile cruise also affects the rates drastically. If you avail a large ship with some luxurious suites then you definitely would have to pay a hefty sum. If you can desire a cruse with just mediocre facilities and willing to travel in medium sized ships then the expenses would be considerably lowered. However, least expenses would be incurred in case you opt to travel in feluccas rather than large ships or yachts.
Feluccas refer to small boats which give a very traditional feel. They are much smaller in size than ships and vary drastically in the kind of luxury provided. They give a very rustic feel and also decreases the Nile cruises rate.
