The Grand Journey on the Nile between Cairo and Aswan

An exclusive 15-day cruise itinerary along the entire navigable section of the Nile – from Cairo to Aswan or from Aswan to Cairo. The cruise itinerary retraces Thomas Cook's legendary voyage along the Nile and tells the story of Egypt from the Delta of the "Great River of the Pharaohs" to its southern banks.

Authentic Upper and Middle Egypt with numerous rare sites of great interest to history buffs: the necropolises of Tuna el-Gabal and Beni Hasan, the temple complexes at Dendera and Abydos; Coptic monasteries and the most famous sights of Ancient Egypt – the Valley of the Kings, the Karnak Temple and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Luxor, the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the mysterious Philae Island, and much more; the impressive Aswan Dam and the shady Botanical Garden in Aswan; a detailed acquaintance with Cairo – a tour of the treasury of the pharaohs – the Egyptian Museum, a visit to the majestic pyramids of Giza and their mystical guardian – the Sphinx, and an ascent to the observation deck of the citadel fortress.

The cruise experience will be enhanced by the lush natural beauty of the Nile Delta shores.

Egypt cruises are another interesting feature of the "Discovering the World with Sozvezdie" project:

An intimate atmosphere – the Jaz Al Qassida cruise ship will be at the complete disposal of Sozvezdie guests during the cruise; an all-inclusive package tour with a maximum of services – cruise, hotel accommodation, full excursion program, domestic flights and comfortable transfers, tips, medical insurance and visa support (if necessary); a rich pre- or post-cruise program in Cairo and Aswan, with excursions, accommodation, meals (breakfast and dinner) at a 4* hotel in Cairo and lunches at local restaurants, as well as an all-inclusive vacation at a 4* hotel in Hurghada; support, care and attention from the group leader and accompanying staff from Sozvezdie throughout the entire route, assistance with any questions on board the ship; fully Russian-language service – an information chat with pre-cruise preparation, excursions with Russian-speaking guides, an onboard newspaper and a daily program in Russian.

The "Discover Egypt with Constellation" cruise tour period is considered one of the best times to visit Egypt, as there is no extreme heat at this time, and the air and water temperatures are comfortable for relaxation and sightseeing.

Depending on the route you will visit:

Cairo is the capital of Egypt, where majestic pyramids, oriental bazaars, and the bustle of modern city life create a striking contrast. Luxor is an open-air museum housing about a third of all ancient Egyptian monuments, including legendary temples, pharaonic tombs, and colossal statues. Edfu is the best-preserved temple of ancient Egypt, dedicated to the god Horus, patron of the pharaohs' power. Kom Ombo is an architectural phenomenon: a double temple to the gods Sobek and Horus. Its terraces offer stunning views of the Nile. Hurghada is the main resort on the Red Sea, a great place for a family vacation, diving, or fun beach parties. Aswan is the perfect place to experience the rhythm of the great river. Here you'll find the majestic Aswan High Dam, the romantic Temple of Isis, and a true oasis on the Nile—a picturesque botanical garden. El Minyu is a mysterious city in Upper Egypt, where underground tombs and catacombs have been discovered. The necropolis is 2,500 years old. Tell el-Amarna is the lost city of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten, who renounced the old gods. Excavations continue there today.

Dear friends,

The inter-navigation period is a time when ships undergo a transformation. Work is already underway on board to make your 2026 journey even more comfortable and enjoyable.

New, cozy cabins and public spaces for a variety of leisure activities—we're ready to share with you what's new awaiting guests on the ships of our general partner, Sozvezdie Cruise Company, for the 2026 season.

Motor ship "Moonlight Sonata".

The most extensive modernization will affect the Moonlight Sonata. Instead of standard cabins on the main deck, there will be Junior Suite, Comfort, and Superior Comfort cabins with extra berths, creating more options for family vacations.

The forward section of the middle deck will be supplemented with two double panoramic cabins, offering a wide view of the changing river landscapes.

The former concert hall on the sun deck will be replaced by a spacious "Music Hall" with an expanded bar area. This will make the Moonlight Sonata lounge bar the most spacious in the Sozvezdie fleet.

The sundeck lounge area will also undergo changes: a modern interior, comfortable new furniture, floral arrangements, and designer lighting will create a uniquely relaxing cruise atmosphere.

The Blues restaurant on the lower deck will open completely renovated. Everything from the linens to the furniture will be updated, but the attentive service and favorite menu items will remain unchanged. A slight update awaits you in the upper restaurant, Jazz, where the furniture will be replaced.

A teen club will be located on the ship's main deck—a space for shared entertainment. Board games, intellectual quizzes, and workshops await teenagers.

A special photo zone will be located on the boat deck, where you can take beautiful photo postcards – vivid memories of the cruise that will stay with you for a long time.

Other public areas will also undergo a general modernisation: lobbies, halls, corridors and the central information desk.

Furthermore, the Moonlight Sonata will be the second ship in the Sozvezdie fleet to be fully equipped with electric locks in all cabins. The key card will not only provide access to your cabin but also serve as a convenient form of payment at the bar or reception.

The motor ship "Symphony of the North"

Some cabins on the middle and main decks will be upgraded to the A2 Comfort category, with modern finishes and a new level of comfort.

On the middle deck, the interiors of the corridor and recreation area will be renovated.

Starting in the 2026 navigation season, all four-deck ships will be equipped with large-screen cinemas on the sun deck, where you can enjoy an open-air movie while comfortably seated in soft beanbags.

Motor ship "Alexander Benois"

The corridor on the boat deck will be renovated. Vibrant decorative frescoes based on sketches by Alexandre Benois in the new interiors create a sense of visual and tactile depth. The new public spaces will be enhanced by copies of theatrical costume designs, for which the artist drew on motifs from folk toys and popular prints, as well as lithographed albums and fashion magazines from the last century.

Dear friends,

We are pleased to announce that the "Classic Nile Cruises" program, part of the "Discovering the World with Constellation" project, now offers only the cruise portion of the tour.

Nile Light Cruises are 4- or 5-day cruises between Aswan and Luxor on the Jaz Al Qassida, during which you will sail along the great river, the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization, and see the iconic sights of Egypt:

Luxor is an open-air museum housing approximately a third of all ancient Egyptian monuments, including the legendary Karnak Temple and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, and the stone Colossi of Memnon. Aswan is the perfect place to experience the rhythm of the great river. It is home to the magnificent Aswan Dam and the romantic Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Edfu is the best-preserved temple of ancient Egypt, dedicated to the god Horus, the patron of pharaonic power. Kom Ombo is an architectural phenomenon: a double temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Horus. Its terraces offer stunning views of the Nile.
