Can I visit the pyramids' interiors?

The cruise features an international menu. Vegetarian and allergy-friendly options are typically available, but you must notify the operator at booking to ensure they're prepared.

our captain Fatima sorted everything for us and the little blue cave stop was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Did it on our first morning, and for our anniversary. Would book again no question.

our captain Kemal was brilliant and jumping off the back into clear water was the highlight, and great if youre not super fit, and stopped at 3 different bays.

our captain Sofia couldnt do enough for us and a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and got loads of photos.
