Azamara Onward Egypt Cruise: 2-Day Cairo Shore Excursion from Alexandria (14–15 December 2026)

An overnight stay in Egypt is one of the highlights of the Azamara Onward Mediterranean voyage.

To help cruise passengers make the most of this unique visit, Narmer Tours offers a carefully designed 2-day, 1-night private shore excursion that combines Egypt's most famous archaeological sites, world-class museums, authentic local culture, luxury accommodation, and professional guided service. Every detail is arranged around the ship's schedule, ensuring a comfortable experience and a guaranteed return to Alexandria Port well before departure.

About Azamara Onward

Azamara Onward is one of the boutique luxury cruise ships operated by Azamara Cruises. Built to offer an intimate cruising experience, the ship welcomes approximately 700 guests, allowing for exceptional personalized service, elegant accommodations, fine dining, and relaxed onboard amenities.
