What makes Thomson Couples special?

This adults-only ship teams stylish décor with plenty of deck space.

This luxury ship will sail you past the Nile’s iconic sights in real style. It’s made up of 5 decks, so it’s really spacious. Plus, it’s adults-only, so you can expect plenty of peace and quiet. On the open-air sundeck you’ll find a swimming pool, which is edged by sunbeds and parasols, and a bar that’ll keep you going with cold drinks.

There’s a timeless, elegant feel to the ship’s interiors. In the lounge bar, for example, it’s all dark woods, and plush red and gold seating. As for the cabins, they come with all the creature comforts – air-conditioning, satellite TVs and minibars are part of the package. Best of all, they feature panoramic windows that look out over the Nile. Opt for a Suite, meanwhile, and you can look forward to more space, fluffy bathrobes and slippers, and stylish décor that pairs black velvet headboards with funky monochrome bedspreads.

As for dining, there’s a buffet restaurant serving up round-the-world favourites and some traditional Egyptian dishes.

Your guide to Luxor, Egypt - Nile

“World-famous ruins, year-round sunshine, and one of the most famous rivers in the world flowing through it – Luxor’s certainly got a lot to be smug about.”

Set on the banks of the Nile, Luxor may have a modern centre, but its ancient history dwarfs most other places on earth. Up there alongside Cairo, Athens and Rome, it’s an open-air museum packed to bursting with millennia-old monuments.

Luxor sits on the site of Egypt’s old capital – the city of Thebes – which was once the stomping ground of Tutankhamun, Ramses, Cleopatra et al. Determined to stamp their names on eternity, the pharaohs oversaw a programme of building works on a scale that has been unseen since. Gargantuan temples rose stone-by-stone from the desert floor. Spidery tomb networks inched their way through the hills. And towering statues climbed skywards to honour falcon-headed gods.

Today thousands come here to gawp at these magnificent treasures. And the star of them all is the Valley of the Kings – a breathtaking collection of royal tombs hidden in the hills. Hot on its heels is the enormous Temple of Karnak, and the masterpiece of masonry that is Luxor Temple.

When you’re not gaping at all these glories, Luxor has plenty else to offer. You’ll find smart hotels packed with cocktail bars and restaurants, bazaars scented with spices, and white-sailed felucca boats that take you along the Nile.
