2 LESLEY MONK OWNER DELUXE CRUISES Warmest wishes, A Personal Invitation from Lesley Monk of Deluxe Cruises Dear Fellow Travellers, Have you ever dreamt of a voyage that transcends the ordinary? One where history isn’t just observed, but felt in the air you breathe? I have had the immense pleasure of curating many such experiences, and I am delighted to invite you to join me on two voyages, outlined in this brochure, to experience some of the world’s most captivating destinations. These are not simply cruises; they are immersive odysseys, designed for the discerning traveller who seeks depth, wonder, and unparalleled comfort. First, we will travel on the legendary Nile and within Cairo. On this voyage, we will unlock the secrets of the pharaohs together, from the awe-inspiring temples of Karnak and Luxor to the enigmatic gaze of the Great Sphinx. Imagine sipping a sundowner on the deck of a beautifully appointed river ship as the sun sets over the Valley of the Kings and see Egypt in all its timeless glory, brought to life by expert guides and enjoyed in the luxurious style for which Uniworld is renowned. Not only will we spend 7 nights cruising the Nile, but we will also spend two nights either side of this journey exploring the best of Cairo, whilst enjoying a truly exceptional stay in the Nile Ritz-Carlton. In contrast to the golden sands of Egypt, we also embark on a journey to the vibrant heart of India. Prepare to have your senses awakened. We will explore bustling riverside markets, marvel at magnificent palaces that tell stories of maharajas, empires and love – including two unique visits to the Taj Mahal, where a private golf buggy will transport us from our beautiful hotel to the gates of the Taj Mahal for an early-morning viewing without the crowds. This journey is a tapestry of colour, ceremony, and captivating beauty, offering a glimpse into a world of incredible diversity and rich tradition. This journey begins with five nights exploring New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, known as India’s famed “Golden Triangle”. As our land journey draws to a close, we will fly to Kolkata to board a seven-night luxurious river cruise along the River Ganges, where we will explore the very best rural India has to offer. These two voyages represent the pinnacle of river cruising. With Uniworld’s signature luxurious amenities, every detail is taken care of – from exquisite dining to exceptional service – allowing you to immerse yourself in the magic of the destination fully. Spaces on these exclusive departures are intentionally limited to preserve an intimate atmosphere, and I will be hosting to ensure your experience is nothing short of extraordinary. I genuinely believe that the finest journeys are those shared with like-minded explorers, and I would be honoured to have you as my companion. To discover more about these unique itineraries, please consult this brochure or contact the Deluxe Cruises Concierge Team. I look forward to you joining me on an adventure that will linger in your heart and mind long after you return home.
