Best answer:

Answer by sistablu
If you go th the Egyptian Government Department of Tourism site Called Tour Egypt you will be able to find many ads for Nile Cruises,especially from using links in the Luxor section.
You could also just do a Google on Nile cruises.
I would choose a good boat and all inclusive fare over a cruise 20 or 25 dollars a night cheaper.It is usually a once in a lifetime experience,so why not make the best of it.
I can definatley recommend:
w.w.w.abercrombiekent.com
Trading as Abercrombie and Kent they are a long established reputable company that offer top of the line cruises and you can book from Australia ,U.K. or U.S.A.
They are a very well known for having very good ships,this is important.Their prices are all inclusive which is something you have to compare when pricing and comparing cruises.The food is resturant level and the ships and rooms are kept very clean,also the staff are great fun.
You should expect to pay around $ 80-$ 120 dollars a night for a middle of the range cruise, all inclusive except for drinks.breakfast and dinner are provided as is on board entertainment.
The usual duration is 3-5 days.
I would recommend taking the cruise over a felluca ,unless you are the hardy out doors type who enjoys roughing it a bit.
Although the fellucca boys are very obliging and charming to their guests.
Most of the itineraries are almost the same!
But choose a cruise that has as many options to visit historical sights as possible, over on board entertainment. You will miss some of the wealth of Egypt otherwise.
The riverside life is fascinating and beautiful.
On board is heaven, lazing by the pool in the evening after a day of sight seeing.
The feeling of cruising on the Nile is a memory that will remain forever.
Have fun and enjoy!
