Getting
to Your Cruise
For some of our cruises, we set the rates to include the cruise and
only the cruise; other services such as flights, train travel or transfers
to and from the cruise departure and arrival points are not included.
We do this so that you may easily and accurately compare our rates with those of other tour companies that establish their rates this way. Most travelers who reserve staterooms on our cruise vessels also ask us to make arrangements to get them to and from the cruise departure and arrival points.
We are happy to arrange the necessary flights or train travel for you. When we do, we will automatically include our transfer service at a small additional fee so that you are assured of making your connections.
We've found that this is the best way to avoid the confusion and missed departures which can occur when travelers attempt to negotiate strange new cities with unfamiliar languages on their own. We believe the small transfer fee is a valuable "insurance policy" against the possibility of missed or delayed departures, overbooked flights, and other mishaps.
Of course, you always have the option of making your own arrangements to get to the cruise departure point, if you so prefer.

Jacquie
Kennedy & Abu Simbel:
All
Americans alive during the 1960s remember President John F Kennedy and
First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Most Americans from that time
also remember Abu Simbel, the dramatic, ancient Pharaonic temple threatened
by the rising waters blocked by the new Aswan High Dam.
It’s worth remembering that it was Jacquie Kennedy who provided crucial support for the mammoth rescue project. Without her help, Abu Simbel might have been lost.
No one questioned that the temple must be saved. UNESCO developed a marvelous plan to cut the huge monument into 1,423 stone blocks and move it 200 meters (219 yards) north and 63 meters (207 feet) higher, just above the estimated level of Lake Nasser, the vast inland sea that would be created by the new dam.
But
who would pay? As a developing country, Egypt could not shoulder the
burden alone. Other countries could contribute, but only one country--the
United States of America--truly had the resources for this
monumental rescue effort.
No matter how much wealth there is, it is never enough. Many legitimate, worthwhile projects compete for funds. What Abu Simbel needed was an advocate, someone who recognized the temple for the irreplaceable world art treasure that it was.
First
Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, already famous for her grace, refinement, and
sensitivity to the arts, saw the need to work for the salvation of Abu
Simbel. It was she who urged Congress to allocate $10 million for the
rescue effort (a sum roughly equivalent to $100 million today). It was
an enormous amount of money, but she saw that America
must step up to the challenge of saving this treasure of worldwide importance
for all time.
The rescue funds were approved by Congress and the temple was saved.
In
appreciation for her efforts, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser
presented the First Lady and the president with a 4000-year-old Egyptian
statue (which is now preserved in the John F Kennedy Library &
Museum in Boston). (http://www.jfklibrary.org/visit_museum-14.html)
President
Nasser wanted also to give a gift of thanks to the people of the United
States for their valuable support. He asked Mrs Kennedy to choose an
appropriate monument. She suggested the small Temple of
Dendur (c. 15 BC), and the gift was readily approved. The temple was
brought to the United States in 1965 and installed at New York’s
Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1967.
(http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/ view1.asp?dep=10&full=0&item=68%2E154)
Times change, leaders come and go, but some acts of support and generosity are remembered through the decades.
First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy loved Egypt, and Egypt still loves her.
