Notes

Booking with us is genuinely simple — here is exactly how it works so there are no surprises along the way when you reserve your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise aboard the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise. To lock in your trip, all you need is a 25% deposit upfront. That is it. If you are traveling over Christmas, New Year, or Easter though, we do ask for 50% — those periods fill up fast and the higher deposit just holds everything securely for you on the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise. The rest of the payment you can sort out before you fly, or just bring it in cash when you land in Egypt. Easy. A small heads-up — a couple of our hotel partners have their own payment setups, but we will always let you know about those before you commit to anything on your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise.

Using a credit card? Totally fine — most of our guests do when booking the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise. We just need you to sign a quick authorization letter so we can process the payment. Just make sure the signature matches the one on your card and your passport. That is genuinely all there is to it for your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise.

Look, we know life happens. If you need your money back from your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise aboard the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise, we get it back to you as fast as we can — straight to however you originally paid. Two things to keep in mind though. First, if you book and then just do not show up without letting us know, we cannot refund that. Second, there is a 6% bank fee that gets taken off every refund — that is the bank's charge, not ours. We wish we could waive it but it is out of our hands for the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise.

Every single hotel and cruise ship we use, including the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise, has been handpicked. We are not just putting you anywhere — quality and comfort are non-negotiable for us on your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise. Prices are based on two people sharing a room. Traveling on your own? There is a small single supplement. Also worth knowing — prices can change without warning, so the sooner you book the better for your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise aboard the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise.

For domestic flights within Egypt on your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise, the prices and times we give you are estimates — airlines do adjust these occasionally. For getting to Egypt from wherever you are in the world for the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise, we find you competitive rates and handle the whole thing so you are not left scrambling through flight comparison websites.

We are going to be completely straight with you here. If something like a big storm hits, a political situation changes suddenly, or a hotel or airline does something unexpected on your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise aboard the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise — those things are outside what we can manage or cover financially. Extra costs from situations like that would be on you. We know that is not what anyone wants to hear, but we believe in being honest about it upfront. What we can promise is that our team will do everything humanly possible to look after you if the unexpected ever does happen during your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise.

Totally your call on the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise. If your guide was incredible — and chances are they will be — a tip is a lovely way to say thanks. But nobody will ever ask you for one or make you feel awkward about it either way during your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise.

Tell your guide straight away on your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise. Seriously — do not sit on it. The faster we know, the faster we fix it. If it needs to go higher, our Customer Care Manager picks it up from there while you are still on the trip aboard the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise. And if you get home and something still is not resolved, write to our Customer Care Management team and they will handle it properly for your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise.

Airline fees and a 6% bank charge sit on top of these. Worth factoring in when you are planning your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise.

If the government or an airline puts out an official travel ban for Egypt affecting your Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise aboard the Royal Lily Movenpick Nile Cruise, you will get either a full refund or a travel credit you can use for any future trip. The only things we hold back in that case are the airline change fees and the bank charge. That is the full picture — nothing hidden.
