What the honeymoon package actually adds
At $1,450 per person over seven to eight days, this pairs Cairo with a deluxe or luxury Nile cruise rather than a standard ship, and adds the specific extras couples ask for: a private candlelit dinner option and suite upgrade options where the ship offers them.
The cruise tier is the substantive part. Deluxe and luxury ships are where the balcony and suite categories exist, and on the luxury tier a spa appears on 16 of the 23 ships we list against 3 of 22 at deluxe, so say early if that matters.
It includes a Cairo hotel stay, private air-conditioned transfers and an Egyptologist guide throughout, with cabin category confirmed at quote stage. Mention the occasion when you enquire, because several ships handle it well and a few do not handle it at all.
