Immerse yourself in the history of ancient Egypt during a luxury Nile River cruise on board Mövenpick MS Sunray, then set sail for the Mediterranean with Princess Cruises.

Your journey begins with a three-night Cairo hotel stay, where an expert-led tour reveals the ancient wonders of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, before exploring the extraordinary treasures of the Grand Egyptian Museum. From here, embark the striking Mövenpick MS Sunray for a cruise along the Nile River. Fresh from a luxurious refurbishment, Sunray promises the finest levels of comfort as you sail through Luxor’s Valley of the Kings and Queens and past the sunlit banks of Aswan.

Uniting two ancient kingdoms, a hotel stay in Athens offers you time to explore at leisure the birthplace of democracy before you board Sun Princess and set sail for Rome. From Santorini’s whitewashed cliffs to the Balearic beaches of Ibiza and historic charms of Sicily, this voyage showcases the sparkling Mediterranean in all its splendour.
