We have just received an email from a client of ours who is currently travelling within Egypt and has been there for the last few weeks. Unfortunately the cruise that we were able to provide for her was cancelled as all flights from the UK were cancelled and that meant that the ship would have sailed with no passengers.
However our client has now booked a cruise on another Nile cruise ship that is actually sailing. Here is the email we received today:
“Dear Colin,
Â
I hope you are well and your business is not suffering too badly because of the situation in Egypt. We are now in Luxor, still celebrating Mubarak’s resignation. Now is a fantastic time to visit – there are almost no tourists, and today we were the only visitors to the Valley of the Kings! Moreover, it seems like we are going on a Nile cruise after all (insha’allah) – the ship is called The Nile Crown, it’s not as cool as Monica, but still nice – it is set to sail sometime in the next three days. They are now trying to sell more cabins (only about 10 or 11 sold so far), so we are keeping our fingers crossed. I do hope that you will be able to resume cruises shortly”.
We are hoping that flights will be resumed very shortly and our clients can enjoy a truly memorable holiday and of course help the Egyptian people restore the damage done to their economy.
