Egypt Nile Cruise Price Slashed 57% — Plus 2 Big Solo Travel Deals

TRAVEL DEALS - I've been watching the latest Overseas Adventure Travel deals, and a couple of these caught my attention.

The biggest may be Egypt.

OAT has slashed the price of select November and December departures of Egypt & the Eternal Nile by Private, Classic River-Yacht. The price has dropped from $6,995 to as little as $2,995.

That's a $4,000 savings — more than 57% off. And this isn't a stripped-down version of the trip.

This 16-day adventure takes travelers from Cairo to Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel, with five nights aboard a privately chartered, 16-passenger dahabeya.

The trip includes 14 nights of accommodations, 39 meals, 21 small-group activities, transportation, and the services of an OAT Trip Experience Leader who is also an accredited Egyptologist. Gratuities for local guides, drivers and luggage porters are also included.

You're not simply getting a discounted hotel-and-tour package. You're getting a very small-group Nile experience that includes some of the places most travelers dream about seeing — from the Valley of the Kings to Aswan and the great monuments of ancient Egypt.

OAT currently lists November 10, December 10, December 18 and December 29 departures at $2,995, although availability can change quickly.

One important note: OAT's current Special Offers page says its promotional prices do not include airfare. Prices and availability can change, so check the current OAT listing before booking.

Two Excellent Deals for Solo Travelers

The Egypt deal caught my eye, but solo travelers have another reason to look at OAT's current offers.

OAT is currently showing two trips with individual spaces available and a FREE single supplement.

That combination is worth paying attention to because the single supplement can add a significant amount to the cost of an organized tour.

Ancient Kingdoms: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam

This 19-day adventure through Southeast Asia has select December departures reduced from $4,795 to $1,995. That's a savings of $2,800 — about 58% off.

Even better for a solo traveler, OAT says the available single spaces can be combined with a FREE single supplement. Current discounted departures include December 1, 5, 10 and 12.

The itinerary travels through four countries and includes the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, time along the Mekong River and an extra night in both Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City.

Japan's Cultural Treasures

Japan is the other solo deal that caught my attention.

OAT is offering select November and December departures of Japan's Cultural Treasures with prices reduced from as much as $6,195 to $2,995. That's a savings of $3,200 — more than 51% off.

And again, OAT is showing single spaces that can be combined with a FREE single supplement. Current discounted departures include November 27, November 29, December 4 and December 6.

The 15-day journey travels from Tokyo to Hakone, Kanazawa and Kyoto. Travelers experience everything from Japan's modern cities to serene temples, a tea ceremony with a Buddhist monk, Japanese cuisine and views of Mount Fuji. OAT's regular itinerary lists the trip for groups of no more than 16 travelers.

These Deals Won't Last Forever

OAT's Special Offers page says the page is updated frequently, and the current Egypt Deal of the Week says reservations must be made by October 13.

I'll keep watching the OAT offers and will post the ones that I think are genuinely worth your attention here at Thrifty Senior Traveler.

Happy travels — and happy saving!
