Health and Safety onboard Egypt Nile cruises: 

All Nile cruises are equipped with safety features and life jackets are normally placed under your cabin bed.

• You should avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol especially if you have equilibrium problems. You are not just putting yourself at risk but also the other guests and staff too.

• People with equilibrium problems should not spend too much time on deck at night, on a fast moving ship; it is dangerous in case you fall over.

• Smoking in bed is dangerous; the mattresses are very flammable!

• People who tend to sleep walk should never take a cabin with a balcony, an inside cabin with a window would be far safer.

• Make sure that you know where the muster stations are, in case you have to abandon ship.

• If you get sick whilst on board, some cruise boats have a resident doctor on board. If not, they have doctors assigned in each town that can be called on in case of emergency.

Nile Cruise useful tips:

• Firstly after checking-in at a cruise, it is advisable to leave your valuables in your rooms'  safety deposit box.  As all cabins have a private safe
• If you wish to buy any items from the shops on board, the opportunity for shopping is generally limited due to the small size of these shops. But on the otherhand you will get plenty of time to check what you are buying, and haggle over the price!
• To call home, most of the cruise boats offer telephone facilities onboard, but the sound quality is not as good as onshore.
• We would recommend visiting a bank, to change your money, before cruising, as most of the boats do not offer exchanging money facilities and you will not get access to onshore banks while you are cruising.
