Many of us studied Ancient Egypt at school or have watched documentaries or read some books. But standing at the foot of the Pyramids of Giza or Abu Simbel or descending into Pharaohs’ tombs in the Valley of the Kings are moments that are frozen in time. Imprinted on memories.

Andrew and I cruised the S.S. Victoria from Brussels to Basel, a fifteen-night meander through five countries (six if you opted for an included excursion to Luxembourg), several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and forty-four locks. Here’s my guide to this river itinerary and to S.S. Victoria.
