Asked on April 15th, 2022Do you get single travellers and what is the charge for someone travelling alone?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written April 2022
We do have single travellers on our tours quite often and you'd be very welcome to join one of our departures. The single supplement would then be added should there be no same gender traveller that is interested in sharing. We do try our best to pair our travellers up. Single room supplement: Price from $490 per person/s. This option books a single room in all the accommodation throughout the tour.

Traveler•Written April 2022Can you give me an idea as to what the supplemental cost for single person would be? When is your busiest season?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written April 2022
Our busiest time in Egypt would be around October - November. Aug & September does tend to get busy too with family travellers due to the school holidays. Single room supplement: Price from $490 per person/s. This option books a single room in all the accommodation throughout the tour.

Asked on March 1st, 2017Are we going to be on a Nile cruise boat for this trip?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written March 2017
A specific Nile cruise boat is not guaranteed on this tour as we work with a number of different cruise operators.
In Egypt, tourist numbers are a bit low at the moment, which is why many companies won't guarantee sailings until closer to the travel date, when they have their final booking numbers.
If booking numbers aren't sufficient, then cruises are consolidating bookings onto fewer ships, rather than sailing with lots of half empty boats. All of the boats we use are of 5-star level though and include en-suite cabins, swimming pool and all meals whilst onboard.

Brett
Asked on October 1st, 2016What boat is used for the Nile river Cruise?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written October 2016
The Nile Cruise boats we use are a good 5* standard boats, like M/S Hames or similar. The have large windows but no balcony. There is the option to upgrade to a different boat with a balcony.

Evelyn
