A christmas nile cruise brings the Nile's ancient temples together with the warmth of the festive season, sailing between Luxor and Aswan while hotels and cruise ships mark the holiday with their own seasonal touches. Most christmas nile cruise itineraries pair the sailing with a few days in Cairo beforehand, and often a short Red Sea stay afterward, turning the cruise into part of a longer festive trip. Christmas nile cruises typically run from about four days to two weeks, so travelers can choose a pace that suits their schedule. December's mild weather makes both the cruise and the Cairo sightseeing comfortable, giving the whole trip a relaxed, festive feel from start to finish.

View TripMost christmas nile cruises open with a few days in Cairo, taking in the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx before heading south to board the ship in Luxor or Aswan.
Once aboard, christmas nile cruises follow the classic route between Luxor and Aswan, stopping at major temples along the riverbank over several days of sailing.
Christmas nile cruises typically include stops at Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of The Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Edfu Temple, and Kom Ombo Temple.
Many christmas nile cruises also add time at Philae Temple near Aswan, rounding out the ancient history side of the trip before guests disembark.
Onboard, christmas nile cruises often include their own festive touches, from a decorated dining room to a special holiday dinner served on the sun deck.
Hotels and cruise ships along the route sometimes host a small Christmas Eve or Christmas Day event, so christmas nile cruises can double as a low-key holiday celebration.
Some christmas nile cruises continue past Aswan to a Red Sea resort in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, adding beach time once the cruise portion ends.
Booking a christmas nile cruise early tends to bring better rates on cabins and flights, since December is one of the busiest months for Nile sailings.
Group-based christmas nile cruises are usually the most affordable option, sharing a cabin, guide, and vehicle with other travelers to keep costs down.
Trip length is one of the biggest choices to make. A shorter christmas nile cruise, closer to four or five days, focuses mainly on the river itself.
Longer christmas nile cruises, closer to ten or fourteen days, usually combine the sailing with more time in Cairo and a Red Sea stay afterward.
