Crystal Serenity Alexandria Shore Excursion

Discover the Best of Alexandria in One Day

The luxury cruise ship Crystal Serenity is one of the most prestigious vessels sailing around the world on its extraordinary 135-day global voyage from Los Angeles to Rome. During this remarkable journey across the Pacific Ocean, Asia, and the Middle East, the ship will arrive at Port of Alexandria on May 15 at 06:00 AM and depart later the same evening at 11:00 PM.

This stop in Egypt offers cruise passengers a fantastic opportunity to explore the historic Mediterranean city of Alexandria, one of the most fascinating cultural capitals of the ancient world.

After visiting spectacular destinations such as Los Angeles, Honolulu, Singapore, Dubai, and Safaga, and sailing through the historic Suez Canal, the cruise reaches Alexandria before continuing toward Piraeus and eventually ending its incredible journey in Civitavecchia.

To make the most of the ship’s full-day stop in Alexandria, Narmer Tours offers a carefully designed Alexandria Shore Excursion that allows cruise passengers to discover the city's most famous landmarks in one comfortable and well-organized day tour before returning safely to their ship.

Our professional guide will meet you directly outside the cruise terminal at Port of Alexandria, where your Alexandria adventure begins.
