How can I ensure that no strangers join my Nile cruise when booking for a family or private group?

To guarantee 100% privacy and that no strangers will join your trip, the ideal
option is booking an “Exclusive Charter” for a floating hotel-style sailing
vessel, such as a “Dahabiya”. This guarantees that the whole ship, its crew,
tour guide and facilities are for your family or private group. When planning a
family Nile cruise, maintaining privacy is the utmost priority. Large floating
hotels sell the cabins individually, which means sharing public areas with
hundreds of other travelers.

• Boutique Dahabiya experience (like Swan Dahabiya): it provides an intimate
  and luxurious sailing experience. Due to their limited number of cabins and
  suites, you can easily rent one in full for small groups and families.
• Private charter benefits:
  1. Route flexibility: complete control over wake-up times, meal times and
     tour schedules.
  2. Customized menus: meals are prepared according to the family’s
     preference (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.).
  3. Anchoring at tranquil islands: a dahabiya can anchor at banks and small
     islands that the large ships cannot reach.
