In view of the recent and very public failures of a number of travel companies this year it is more important than ever to ensure that you are booking with a company that has a sound financial structure and that is both fully ABTA and ATOL bonded.

Nile Cruises 4u is part of The Freedom Travel Group which is owned by The Cooperative Travel Group the UK’s largest independently owned retail travel agent and itself a major part of The Cooperative Limited.  The Cooperative Limited has been in existance for over 150 years.

If you are unsure of the value of booking with a company that is fully ABTA and ATOL bonded please take a moment to watch this short video where Alistair Rowlands, the Cooperative Travel’s Director of Distribution describes the measures that were taken to avoid our passengers booking with a company that was not viewed suitable for sale by companies that are part of The Cooperative Travel Group.

Remember that when you book with Nile Cruises 4u your holiday and travel arrangements are covered by our ABTA and ATOL bonding and you will not find yourself in position of the unfortunate lady interviewed in the video.

If you are hoping to take a Nile Cruise around the October half term holiday on the 18th or 25th then you will find that most cruise ships are pretty well fully booked.  However please use our Freephone reservations number 0808 1089 100 and we’ll do our best to try and find you a cruise if we can.

We will try all of the ships that we feature in case of cancellations or do our best to “package” together a cruise for you using our contacts.  So if you are still hoping to get away in late October please give us a try.

However if you dont’ manage to get away this half-term and your restricted to school holidays why not book for the winter term half term holiday in February?  The ships are already starting to fill up for school holiday dates in 2011 so rather than be disappointed again why not call us to check on availability now and be sure that you can get away?

We have just received a great “Nile Cruise and Red Sea” testimonial from returning clients Steve and Lynda.  They sailed on the wonderful Royal Viking Nile cruise ship and then spent a further week on the Red Sea staying at the Three Corners Ocean View in El Gouna.

It’s been added to our Nile Cruise Testimonials page on the main website but in case you havent’ seen it here it is:

Just in case your reading our Nile Cruise Blog for the first time because you are trying to find out more information about cruising the Nile can I steer you towards our FREE Nile Cruise Guide?

We wrote the Guide ourselves about three years ago and we have recently (June 2010) up-dated it with the latest developments and information.  It’s NOT a sales guide it is purely information that we feel you will find useful.  Over the years we have been asked all sorts of questions about Nile Cruises and the Guide will hopefully answer most of your questions.

You will learn about how to choose the best Nile Cruise ship for you and your budget, when is the best time to go, what you’ll see, what to take with you, what sort of clothes to wear and so much more. Continue reading “Nile Cruise Information – Nile Cruise Guide”

If you are fascinated by the “Boy King” Tutankhamun then you will be interested in a new exhibition at the “Museum of Museums” at the Trafford Centre, Manchester from 22nd October to 27th February 2011. I saw details of the exhibition mentioned in the Guardian newspaper yesterday.  

The exhibition is described as:

 “A major exhibition of the interantional archaeological sensation.  The spectacular reconstruction of the Pharaoh’s tomb and treasures”.

If you are taking a Nile Cruise in the future or are thinking of doing so I’m sure this new exhibition will only serve to wet your appetite and if you have already been to the Valley of the Kings I’m sure you’ll want to go to revisit some of your memories.
