Your Red Sea cruise will be an assault on your senses. You'll visit Cairo, Luxor, Jordan and then there's the Red Sea itself. Perfect for snorkelling or just chilling out. Your first destination is Jordan for a couple of days of exploring the tombs and temples carved into rock.

Then it's off to Cairo where you'll absorb the atmosphere in the backstreets where locals smoke sheesha pipes over endless games of dominoes.

More about your cruise

Nowhere launches an assault on the senses like Egypt and Jordan. On the one hand it's all tombs, temples and mummy-filled museums. On the other, it's golden sands, clear blue seas and a marine wonderland like you've never seen.

Cairo. Luxor. Jordan. And then there's the Red Sea. Slip on a snorkel and watch clouds of fish swirl around your mask. Scuba divers from all over the world come here to check out the famous rainbow reefs.

Your ship sails from Sharm El Sheikh, headed for Jordan where you'll spend two days exploring. Target the Lost City of Petra and Indiana Jones your way through tombs and temples carved into rock. This is, after all, where the Last Crusade was filmed. And don't forget the Dead Sea where you can float your cares away.

Afterwards, it's back to Egypt to witness the chaos of Cairo. Haggle in bazaars that are crammed into the backstreets. Pass locals smoking sheesha pipes over endless games of dominoes. And check out the city's trump card - the Pyramids. With a foot firmly in the past, it's Egypt's ancient sights that sprinkle it with stardust.

In Luxor, be dwarfed by the mighty Karnak Temple, then wander through the nearby Valley of the Kings. It's one history fix after another. Culture aside, there's plenty of sun to soak up, too. Egypt boasts some of the world's best beach resorts.

In Hurghada, dig your toes into sand that glimmers like finely ground gold. Then dive into translucent waters to check out what's going on beneath the waves.

Last but not least, it's back to where you started - Sharm El Sheikh, the Red Sea's most happening holiday spot. All this, in just one week. What more could you ask for?
