Tui River Cruises to launch Nile river itineraries with new vessel

The refurbished ship, to be named Tui Al Horeya, will operate seven-night, all-inclusive round-trip sailings from Luxor and can accommodate 145 passengers in 74 cabins including singles, standard cabins and suites. 

Two exclusive charter flights per week will operate from Gatwick and Manchester to the city, making Tui one of the only tour operators to offer direct, non-stop flights from the UK to Luxor which will operate weekly on a Thursday from 7 November 2024 until 24 April 2025.
 
Chris Hackney, managing director of Tui River Cruises, said: "Tui River Cruises is going from strength to strength, and we are so excited to introduce this latest offering on the Nile which we are confident our customers will love. 
 
"The name Tui Al Horeya was chosen to ensure we kept local connection to Egypt, as it is our only Tui River Cruise ship which will stay in the one country."
 
Licenced Egyptologists will be on hand throughout the trip to answer any questions, with the modern and contemporary ship boasting a top deck swimming pool, two whirlpools, an entertainment area, restaurant, Al Fresco dining, lounge bar, wellness studio and a boutique shop.
