Your 2026 holiday begins in the legendary city of Luxor. Upon your arrival at the airport or your local hotel, a private air-conditioned vehicle provided by Bastet Travel will transfer you to the Blue Shadow III for a seamless check-in. After enjoying a gourmet welcome lunch on board, you will join your expert Egyptologist to explore the magnificent East Bank. The tour begins at the Karnak Temple Complex, a massive metropolis of pillars and obelisks where you will walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall and its 134 towering columns. You will then visit Luxor Temple, an elegant structure established around the 14th century BC and connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes. Following the tour, you return to the ship to relax and refresh. The evening is yours to enjoy the ship's luxury facilities, or you may opt for the Sound & Light Show at Karnak. Dinner and your first night on the water are spent in the heart of ancient Thebes.
After an energizing breakfast on the Blue Shadow III, you will cross to the West Bank to explore the "City of the Dead." The tour starts at the legendary Valley of the Kings, where you will enter three selected royal tombs to admire the vibrant ancient colors and intricate carvings. The journey continues to the Mortuary Temple of Deir El Bahari, a striking architectural marvel built into the limestone cliffs for the great female Pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut. On the return journey, you will pause at the Colossi of Memnon, the massive twin statues of Amenhotep III that have guarded the valley for millennia. After the tour, you will be transferred back to the vessel to begin sailing south toward Esna. Enjoy a fresh lunch and a relaxing afternoon on the sundeck as the ship navigates the lock. Dinner and overnight stay are on board as you cruise toward Edfu.
As the ship docks in Edfu, you will enjoy breakfast before taking a nostalgic horse-drawn carriage ride to the Temple of Horus. This site is considered the best-preserved ancient temple in Egypt, featuring massive pylons and perfectly intact reliefs. After exploring its sacred chambers, you return to the Blue Shadow III for lunch and a restful afternoon while sailing further south. In the late afternoon, the ship docks in Kom Ombo for a visit to the unique Temple of Kom Ombo. This dual sanctuary is unusual for its symmetrical layout, dedicated to both the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. After exploring the temple and its onsite Crocodile Museum, you will return to the vessel for an enjoyable evening featuring an Egyptian folklore show performed by the staff. Dinner and overnight stay are on board as you sail toward Aswan.
After breakfast on the Blue Shadow III, you will set out to explore the beautiful city of Aswan with your private guide. The tour begins at the High Dam, a 20th-century engineering masterpiece that tamed the Nile's floods and created the massive Lake Nasser. You will then take a motorboat ride to Agilkia Island to visit the romantic Philae Temple, the ancient cult center for the goddess Isis, which was meticulously relocated to save it from the rising waters. The morning concludes at the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the granite quarries, providing a fascinating look at the stone-cutting techniques of the Pharaonic era. You return to the ship for a tasty lunch and a free afternoon to relax by the pool or explore the local Aswan markets. The evening offers the chance for an optional Sound & Light Show at Philae Temple. Dinner and your final night are spent in the tranquil beauty of Aswan.
On your final morning on the Blue Shadow III, you will enjoy a final award-winning breakfast featuring international and local specialties. This is the perfect time for reflection on the sun deck before completing your check-out at 8:00 AM. Depending on your onward flight or train schedule, our local representative will meet you and provide a private, air-conditioned transfer to the Aswan Airport or railway station for your final departure.
