Important Information
If you would like to read more about Nile
Cruises BEFORE you book
your holiday please read our FREE
Nile Cruise Guide especially the last
chapter of Tips and
Hints.
As well as reading the
Nile Cruise Guide here are some
important points that you should consider:
- Travel Insurance.
It is absolutely essential
that you take out adequate Travel Insurance. In
the event of a claim for medical expenses,
repatriation costs, loss of possessions by theft,
cancellation and other unforeseen events you could be
liable for very considerable costs should you fail to
do so. Please contact us if you require any help
with Travel Insurance.
- Optional excursions.
Please note that if you are
considering booking any optional excursions that are
not part of the standard itinerary operated by your
cruise ship please be aware that these may not be
covered by your insurance company in the event that
you may need to make a claim. Please contact
your insurers prior to departure to check if such
excursions are covered by your policy.
- General Health.
We recommend that you take
the small, pocket-size liquid soap dispensers
available from UK chemists with you whenever you leave
the ship and use them as often as required.
Especially after handling local currency which can on
occasions be very dirty. If you remember to wash
your hands every time you handle money etc, you should
avoid, as much as is possible, suffering possible
tummy upsets.
- Credit/Debit Cards.
Please be aware that although
some ships state that they have facilities to accept
credit/debit cards for payments of bar bills,
excursions and other costs you could find that on
occasions these facilities are not available or
working. Please ensure that you have alternative
methods of payment available such as cash or
travellers cheques. Remember that the
availability and reliability of technologies that we
take for granted are different in Egypt.
- Drinks and Refreshments on Full Board
Cruises.
Please note
that on Full Board Nile Cruises you will be charged
for all drinks, including tea, coffee and
refreshments even with your meals. (Some ships
may include tea and coffee with breakfast). Full
Board includes breakfast, lunch and evening meals
but does not include drinks or
refreshments. This includes water as this is
bottled. Please plan accordingly and if you
are provided with drinks at meal times and they are
included with your meals then treat that
arrangement as an added bonus!! Best to plan for
no drinks and be pleasantly surprised if they are
included with your meals.
** These points are offered as
helpful advice from our own experience and are offered
on that basis
only.
