A TUI River Cruise is your key to experiencing the Nile like never before – there’s never been a better time to book, with an exclusive up to £300 off winter Nile sailings

Summer holidays aren’t just about beaches and cocktails. But then, a holiday isn’t exclusive only to the summer season. It’s time to think outside the box, and TUI can help you do just that – with prime financial savings to be enjoyed into the bargain. 

With a TUI River Cruise, you can explore one of the world's most famous rivers this winter for less – the Nile. 

TUI ensures that you’ll get to spend every possible moment of the cruise absorbing iconic mantras such as visiting the Valley of the Kings on a Nile river cruise, where you can explore the burial chambers that were functional from the 16th to 11th century BC, with Tutankhamun a must-see.

The sweetest bit? With an exclusive up to £300 off your winter Nile sailing, there’s no reason to put off that dream escape any longer.

And while you're booking your cruise, be sure to enter TUI's prize draw to win one of 200 prizes – from all-inclusive prizes to airport lounge upgrades.

The magic of the Nile in the colder months

Booking a winter river cruise transforms the cooler months into a magical extravaganza, where the sunbaked towns of summer now shimmer with the season’s fresh glow – taking on a new persona.

And plenty of iconic sights are waiting for you down the Nile. Take the Valley of the Kings and striking temples of Luxor and Karnak for example – and don't forget to walk along Sphinx Avenue, which is located between the two temples, to admire over 1,000 statues that line the avenue.

Abu Simbel, two temples built by the Egyptian king Ramesses II in Aswan, is another must-do – known for the four colossal statues of Ramesses II sat in pairs at the entrance of the main temple.

With TUI River Cruises, you can embark on a full-day tour here to explore the temples, which now are located more than 200 feet above their previous site after being remarkably relocated due to a flooding threat from the nearby reservoir. 

TUI won’t only guide you from the confinements of a stereotypical holiday, but also aid your reawakening to winter travel. If you think that a winter river cruise means grey skies and cold toes, then you’ve been missing out. Big time. 

And thanks largely to a cosy atmosphere onboard, with festively decorated lounges, all that passing gorgeousness can be soaked up in comfort, regardless of the outside temperature. There is one aspect that’s hot among all this cool, however. And that’s down to TUI. 

Right now, you can take advantage of an exclusive up to £300 off your winter river cruise down the Nile and make winter 2025 one to remember for all the right reasons.
