Avalon Waterways is a U.S. based travel company that offers the choice of two Nile River cruises that are longer in length then those based out of Egypt. The Egyptian Splendor is a nine-day cruise that travels the Nile as it leaves and returns to Cairo, giving guests an opportunity to see more areas of Egypt. The Grand Tour of Egypt follows roughly the same route, though the trip is a bit longer at 11 days in length. Both ships sail during the holidays allowing guests to spend the season floating along the famous Nile. Along the way, guests are allowed to disembark at various stops to visit sights including temples and bazaars. Room accommodations range from standard size rooms to suites, all of which provide standard amenities including TV, private bathrooms and individually controlled air conditioning. Other features for both vessels include swimming pools, sun decks, live entertainment and on board activity coordinators.
