Boarding in Aswan, the Nile takes the lead: broad, slow, and insistently ancient. The ship slips away from the granite outcrops and date palms, the sundeck filling with the low, warm light that has watched pharaohs pass for millennia. On this three-night cruise, the river becomes both transit and theater — a moving vantage point onto temples that keep changing their angle with every mile.
