Believe it or not there still appears to be a small amount of availability for the Domina Prestige Nile Cruise ship for the 22nd of December.

Prices are around the 700+ pounds mark, which is great for Christmas to be honest. Not sure seats will be there much longer but as of two minutes ago I was finding seats.

So…if you fancy Chrismas on the Nile…call me on Freephone 0808 1089 100

Following on to my reference about the Egyptian Exhibition at Liverpool’s Museum Of The World I came across this really unique “online” interactive “Life In Ancient Egypt” adventure.

Although it’s probably aimed predominantly at children it gives you a great feeling for how life was for ordinary Egyptians.  Great fun and a wonderful resource and a little taster of some of what you’ll see when your cruising the Nile.

Thanks to Liverpool Museums for the link.

Liverpool Museums are currently running an Ancient Egypt exhibition, where you can “unwrap a mummy”!!. 

Here’s the details:

“In our new Ancient Egypt gallery you can journey back to the incredible world of the Pharaohs and discover the remarkable civilisation that built the Pyramids and the Sphinx. There are over 1,300 objects from our world-class collections on display, including animal mummies, ancient musical instruments and a tomb reconstruction based on a 4,000-year-old burial place.

There are five complete human mummies on display and you can even ‘unwrap’ a mummy without touching it, using a fascinating computer interactive. A must-see of object is the vividly-coloured belt of the last great Pharaoh, Rameses III, on permanent display for the first time since before the Second World War.

You can visit the exhibition at Liverpool’s “History Of The World Museum” in Wiiliam Brown Street.  (0151 478 4296).

In these days of credit crunches, recession and depression (cheerful, eh?), I thought it might be worth mentioning again that Nile Cruises 4u is part of The Cooperative Travel Group, which itself is a very important division of the mighty Cooperative Limited, one of the largest companies in the UK with assets in excess of 9 Billion Pounds.

What does that mean for you?

Well, it means that your money and your holiday is totally safe with us.  As part of the Cooperative Travel Group, the UK’s largest independant retail travel company, we are fully bonded with ABTA, the Association Of British Travel Agents and fully licensed holders of an ATOL, (Air Tour Operators Licence) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Which means…if your tour operator or ailine goes bust then you are fully protected.

How many other travel comapnies can say that to you?

When XL Airways went kaput a month or so ago NONE of our clients lost any money.  They were offered either another holiday, or, if the alternative was not suitable they were offered a full refund by ourselves.

You sometimes see some other companies offering slightly different prices than ourselves, (although we pride ourselves as being one of the most competitive price-wise).  But, you should double check the financial security of the company you are booking with.

Who are they part of?

Who are they owned by?

What sort of guarantees have they got in place should there be a failure on behalf of the airline or cruise company you are booked with?

In these crazy days it is even more imporatant than ever that your money and your holiday is 100% secure.

We are featuring a great Nile Cruise Tour called “Enchanting Egypt” that I think is an absolutely great way of really experiencing the best of Egypt.

It includes 3 nights in Cairo, a 7 night Nile Cruise and 4 nights in the exciting Red Sea resort of El Gouna, the “Venice” of the Red Sea Riviera.

We can arrange 3 levels of accommodation depending on your budget from 5 star to 5 Star Deluxe.

Why not take a look at the full details here, or call us on Freephone 0808 1089 100 and we’ll tell you all about it?
