Single-cabin pricing stated upfront
The single supplement is the most common unpleasant surprise for people travelling alone on the Nile, because cabins are priced on double occupancy and the surcharge often appears late in the process. This package is built around quoting it openly instead, at $999 per person over seven days.
It covers Cairo plus a Nile cruise with single-cabin pricing options, a Cairo hotel stay, private transfers and an Egyptologist guide throughout. Cabin category depends on the ship chosen and is confirmed at quote stage.
Worth reading alongside our guide to solo travel on a Nile cruise, which covers the social side: meals and excursions are shared and group-paced, so travelling alone on the river is considerably less isolating than it sounds.
