River cruising is a relaxing and time-efficient way of seeing fascinating cities, historic landmarks and beautiful countryside, says Deborah Stone. Here, she highlights 10 of the best itineraries.
1 The Nile, Egypt
If you only take one river cruise in your life, it should be this route, sailing along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. It’s worth it just for the temples at Luxor and nearby Karnak, Tutankhamun’s tomb at the Valley of the Kings, and Nefertari’s tomb in the Valley of the Queens. But there’s more: from Luxor most cruise ships sail to Edfu for the temple dedicated to falcon-headed god Horus, then on to Kom Ombo temple, dedicated to crocodile god Sobek. And at colourful Aswan you can take a trip to the Aswan High Dam and the temple of Philae, or fly to Abu Simbel’s temples. To get the most out of the country, combine a Nile cruise with a few days in Cairo to see the Pyramids at Giza and the Egyptian Museum.

Yangtze River in China, I once booked a cruise last year. I could say it was an exceptional experience. Everyone knows that it was the largest and the longest river in China and the third longest in the world. That could be a reason it was ranked in 10 of the best river cruises in the world. The sights were fascinating, the towns and villages and their people, culture and history, and of course the river itself. I am sure you will love to stay there.
