BEEN THERE  –  DONE THAT?

BEEN THERE – DONE THAT?

Feb 15, 2023

“Been There – Done That?” – How many times have you said that when family or friends have suggested a trip or destination.  Sometimes it seems as if you are out of options.  I’m here to show you a great river cruise that will absolutely not fit into the “Been There-Done that” category.

What do you see when you picture Egypt?  The Pyramids which are the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; the Sphynx; men in colorful robes from a culture so different from our own?  This culture and people go back centuries and it’s all on display when you take an AMA River Cruise.

EGYPT

Been There - Done That Egyptian River Cruise

Iconic Egypt with an AMA River Cruise

IMAGINE yourself standing at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza.  You are looking up at a man-made structure almost 500 feet tall which has dominated this spot since the 26th century BC.

Can you spot the imperfection?  An error made during construction caused the west side of the pyramid to be slightly longer than the east side.  This error was not discovered until 2016 when researchers were studying the original dimensions.

This is just the start of your amazing journey through time.   As each day unfolds, you have the opportunity to explore even more of the ancient wonders that encompass Egypt and the Nile.

On arrival at Luxor, you arrive at the Valley of The Kings.  Here, marvel at the tombs cut into solid rock, including King Tut.  His mummified remains are still there.

All throughout your journey, you will marvel at one spectacular site after another.   The Temple of Horus, Abu Simbel and the Great Temple of Kom Ombo are all there for you to explore with your experienced guides.  You have the chance to sail on a traditional Feluca, just as Egyptians have been doing for centuries.

Enjoying the Nile from a traditional feluca

ENJOY a visit to a traditional Nubian village.  As with the other delightful excursions, this is typical of the exclusive and thoughtful ways AMA Waterways  brings a destination to life.

SAVOR the prospect of seeing new things.  You have time to delve into the destinations, familiarize yourself with  the regions you will be cruising through and get to know your luxury ship.  What fun to spend time thinking abut and planning your adventure.

ANTICIPATE being onboard a luxury cruise ship where all your needs are taken care of; even the ones you don’t know you have.

This itinerary has been so successful that AMA Waterways will launch another ship in 2024 to join the AMADahlia in transporting passengers through the fascinating history of the Nile River.  Now is the time to secure your spot on one of these two exceptional ships for the trip of a lifetime.

As a river cruise specialist, I can create the perfect cruise experience for you, including the pre and/or post adventures you have always dreamed about.  I can make them a reality for the best travel experience of your life.  You can also read this informative article on avoiding river cruise booking mistakes.

WHY I LOVE RIVER CRUISES-AND YOU WILL TOO

WHY I LOVE RIVER CRUISES-AND YOU WILL TOO

Apr 5, 2018

SIZE DOES MATTER: Most river cruise ships only hold around 160 people. Just enough fellow passengers to give you an opportunity to get to know them over the course of the cruise, but not overwhelming. THIS IS WHY I LOVE RIVER CRUISES-AND YOU WILL TOO. On large cruise ships you might not see the same person twice; not so on a river cruise with less than 200 people. On a river cruise there is a certain camaraderie among the passengers and the crew which I find comforting.

river cruisesEver get lost on a large cruise ship? It can’t happen on a river cruise ship. While there are several areas to relax in, such as the lounge or the sun deck, they are easy to find.

DIET? Of course you can maintain your diet on a river cruise. There are always healthy choices and vegetarian options available on river cruises. Just don’t look at the beautiful presentations of the breads and pastries.

However, if you do indulge you can reassure yourself that you will be taking one of those walking excursions soon, so all will be well.
