Blue Shadow III: A Contemporary Nile Journey with Classic Temples
The Blue Shadow III Nile Cruise is a modern 5-star Nile cruise for travellers who want the famous Luxor and Aswan route with the comfort of a spacious floating hotel. The experience is not only about moving from one temple to another; it is about waking up to wide Nile views, spending quiet hours on the sundeck, and returning from each guided visit to a ship with polished cabins, generous public areas and relaxed onboard service.
Blue Shadow III is listed with 60 Standard Cabins, 2 Royal Suites, 2 Presidential Suites and 2 Junior Suites. Cabins are fully air-conditioned and include LCD TV, music system, safety box, mini-bar, coffee and tea tray, private bathroom, shower and hair dryer. On board, guests have access to a large sundeck with swimming pool and children’s pool, main restaurant, lounge bar, sun deck bar, fitness equipment, sauna and massage, laundry service, gift shop and 24-hour reception.
The cruise operates on two classic routes: a 4 Days / 3 Nights itinerary from Aswan every Wednesday from $479, and a 5 Days / 4 Nights itinerary from Luxor every Saturday from $599. Both programmes include the essential temples and monuments between Aswan and Luxor, with private transfers, entrance fees and guided sightseeing arranged by Pure Nile Tours.
