Egypt & Red Sea Cruises
The Red Sea is a part of the Indian Ocean which lies between Africa and Asia. Countries which border the Red Sea include Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Jordan. Known for its clear blue waters, beautiful coral reefs and varied marine life, the Red Sea is very popular with divers. Here you will find pristine beaches, year-round sunshine and lots of fascinating ancient history.
Top Red Sea cruise destinations
- Egypt - Experience the wonders of the ancient pyramids, temples and tombs or visit bustling markets where you’ll find a huge range of wares.
- Israel – Here you’ll find UNESCO World Heritage Sites aplenty, including the old town of Jerusalem and the Baha’i Shrine in Haifa.
- Jordan – Visit the lost city of Petra – an entire city carved into a sandstone cliff, see the ancient Roman Theatre and the amazing Royal Tombs.
The Red Sea is rarely visited as a cruise destination itself. Instead, you’ll find that cruise ships pass through the Red Sea on longer voyages between Asia and the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal. Sailing through the 100-mile-long Suez Canal is an unforgettable experience. Sit out on the top deck and you’ll feel as though your ship is slicing through the dry desert.
Visiting Egypt
