TUI River Cruises Expands Excursion Programme in Egypt for Winter 2025

TUI River Cruises, part of TUI UK, has announced an expansion of its Egyptian excursion programme with six new experiences, coinciding with the launch of its second Nile-based vessel, the TUI Bahareya, which will make its maiden voyage in November 2025.

The enhanced programme, available across both TUI Al Horeya and TUI Bahareya, offers guests even greater flexibility and choice when exploring Egypt’s ancient wonders.

Katy Berzins, Head of River Cruise at TUI River Cruises, said:

“With growing interest in ancient Egypt and a clear appetite for deeper cultural exploration, we’re expanding our excursion programme to offer even more unique experiences along and beyond the River Nile.

From afternoon tea at the iconic Agatha Christie Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan to witnessing the breathtaking Giza Pyramids in Cairo, this enhanced programme provides our guests with the opportunity to connect more deeply with Egypt’s timeless heritage.”

Highlights from the new excursion programme

Sunset Tea at the Old Cataract Hotel, Aswan

An elegant afternoon at the legendary Old Cataract Hotel, famous for hosting Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill. Guests will enjoy traditional afternoon tea on the terrace overlooking the Nile and Elephantine Island, complete with fine teas, pastries, finger sandwiches, and local delicacies.

Cairo – The New Grand Egyptian Museum & Giza Pyramids

A full-day excursion including a flight from Luxor to Cairo, a guided tour of the Giza Plateau with the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx, followed by a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum – set to open in November 2025. The museum will display more than 100,000 artefacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection, and its dramatic Grand Staircase, lined with 64 masterpieces of Egyptian history.
