Whether you’re looking a grey, rain-filled sky and longing for the warm sun, or you’re hungering for a cultural feast, then a Red Sea cruise is exactly what you need. The ideal choice for a first time cruise passenger, the Red Sea has a fantastic year-round climate and some of the world’s most exciting archaeological treasures.

Red Sea cruises will take you back in history to a region that straddles east and west, and offers the chance to enjoy land excursions that can only be described as magical. Walk between sandstone cliffs to the lost city of Petra in Jordan, where the building facades cling to the sheer rock walls stretching up to the blue Middle-Eastern skies.

This incredible adventure can only be matched by the stunning sites of Egypt. Can any other place offer such treasures as the pyramids at Giza, the Sphinx and the Valley of the Kings?

Not forgetting the breathtaking temples of Luxor and Karnak. But the shore excursions on your Red Sea cruise needn’t all be inspired by history – a quad bike trip across the desert sands is sure to set the heart racing with a more physical excitement!

Red Sea cruises aren’t just about shore excursions, of course. The clear waters of the sea itself are a destination in themselves. Its teeming fish and spectacular coral reefs make the Red Sea a great place for scuba diving and snorkelling.
