Comfort aan boord
Culinair & Dranken
Dining on board is a highlight of the Minya experience, featuring a full-board plan that showcases the best of local Egyptian cuisine. Meals are prepared fresh daily using ingredients sourced from local markets along the river, ensuring high quality and authenticity. Guests can enjoy a variety of dining settings, including al fresco meals on the deck and comfortable indoor dining. The menu includes options for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans, with special dietary requirements easily accommodated upon request.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Minya focuses on immersive land-based exploration rather than underwater activities. Guests are accompanied by expert naturalists who lead guided excursions to the Nile's most significant historical sites, including ancient temples and tombs. These visits are carefully timed to ensure a tranquil experience away from the crowds of larger cruise ships. Beyond the historical sites, the journey includes guided nature walks and visits to local riverside villages. These land excursions provide a unique opportunity to engage with local culture and observe the natural beauty of the Nile Valley. The pace is relaxed, allowing guests to fully appreciate the history and landscapes of Egypt at their own speed.

Booking & Travel FAQ
How does the booking process work?
Select a cabin and departure on Minya, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.
When do I need to pay?
A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.
What documents will I receive?
After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.
How do I get to the cruise ship?
Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary. Some operators arrange airport pickup, group flights or transfers; check your booking confirmation and travel voucher for what is included. We recommend arriving in the gateway city at least one day before departure, unless your operator provides different instructions.
What clothing and footwear should I bring?
Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for shore visits, and comfortable clothing suited to your destination's weather. Pack breathable layers, a sun hat and sun protection for warm regions; for colder or wetter conditions, add warm layers and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Check the operator's packing list for landing footwear, any supplied equipment and specific requirements.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability, contact us as soon as possible.
