We receiving a lot of enquiries for Nile Cruises commencing January 2009. I think a lot of people who were hoping to travel over Christmas and New Year are thinking that all the flights over Christmas and New Year are fully booked. Well, if you are hoping to get away over Christmas please give us a call as there are still some seats available.

For those hoping to travel in January then there is still availability on most cruises and tours at the moment.

Please call us on Freephone 0808 1089 100 for latest availability and prices.

We have always suggested a few books in the Nile Cruise Bookstore that we feel would be useful and interesting for anyone taking a Nile Cruise.

I’m a great reader and love reading travel books and watching travel tv programmes. (Good job I’m a travel agent then, eh?).

There is nothing I like more than reading up about a destination that I’m due to visit. It’s a great way to find out the places to see, places to eat, what’s happening in the area, etc. Plus it really puts you in the mood.

Well, we have just enlarged The Nile Cruise Store that we have on our main Nile Cruises website and here on the Nile Cruise Blog to now include more books as well as DVD’s and some “travel equipment” that we feel you might find useful.

I’ve included a couple of recommendations including the fabulous “Flip Digital Video Camera“, which I’ve taken on a number of trips and is probably the smallest, cheapest and most portable video camera you’ll find and the “Camelbak Hydration Pack” which is a great, convenient way to carry water with you.

I hope that you’ll find some interesting books and things in the store, and, if you have any suggestions that you think other travellers would be interested in please let me know and I’ll add them to the store.

I’ve just added quite a comprehensive review to the main Nile Cruises 4u website from Lisa McNab.

Lisa travelled earlier this month and kindly wrote a long and detailed review of her impressions.

I’m sure if your thinking of taking a Nile cruise, perhaps even sailing on the King Tut III you’ll find Lisa’s review really useful. You can read it by clicking here and visiting our Nile cruise reviews section.

I mentioned in an earlier post that we have several cruises available for the Deluxe Nile Cruise ship “Hamees” in late October and early November and I thought I’d add a few more pictures to let you see the stanard of the ship.

Here are pictures of the Lounge, the Bar, the Pool and the Restaurant.

Prices are around the £899 mark depending on dates but this is an excellent ship for someone looking for an deluxe cruise at a reasonable price.

Please call either Barbara or myself, Colin, on Freephone 0808 1089 100 for details of availability and price.

When you book a Nile Cruise you tend to think of the various fascinating excursions you’ll enjoy to magical places like The Valley Of The Kings, Karnak Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, etc.  But what so many people dont’ realise is that you will have opportunities to see wonderful wildlife when your there.

Egypt is important as a place where familiar European birds rub shoulders with exotic African species and offers some of the most exciting birdwatching anywhere in the world and is an increasingly popular destination for birdwatchers.

One of our recent clients sent me a whole CD-ROM of great photographs he’d taken of the wildlife he’d seen when cruising.

If your interested you can get various books to take with you including the one featured here, “Birds Of Egypt” which only costs £5.99 from Amazon.co.uk.

I ‘m not a birdwatcher normally but when I travel I love to see as much of the wildlife as possible.  When I travelled to Kenya last year I brought back reel after reel of video footage.  But equally when I travelled to the north of Holland a few years ago I took a “bird-watching” excursion out of curiosity and had a brilliant time and, again, took loads of great pictures.

Anyway, I just thought I’d let you know that you will have some opportunities to enjoy sights of wildlife and birdlife that you wont’ be able to see anywhere else.
