Concerto II Nile Cruise

Rated to the Ministry of Tourism New Norm standard, with the unusual flexibility of three, four or seven-night sailings on one ship.

Concerto II holds a New Norm classification

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism New Norm standard is a newer classification sitting above the conventional five-star rating, and it is the most useful quality signal on the river precisely because the star ratings are not comparable to hotel stars elsewhere. The Concerto II holds it.

At $759 per person it sits above the deluxe average of $710. It also offers three, four or seven-night sailings on the same ship, which is unusual flexibility and worth knowing if your dates are awkward. It confirms a sun deck and pool alongside a restaurant and lounge.

It sails Luxor to Aswan via Edfu and Kom Ombo. If you are struggling to tell deluxe ships apart on paper, the New Norm classification is a more meaningful filter than the star count.
