Hurghada: Luxury Cruise Trip to Orange Bay with Lunch

1.Luxury Cruise Trip to Orange Bay with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 5,451 reviews · 8h 30m · from $53Our pick

Cruise from Hurghada to Orange Bay with guides Andrew and Mostafa, two Red Sea snorkel stops, a seafood and BBQ buffet, banana boat time, unlimited soft drinks, and a back massage. Early arrival helps you enjoy the island before it fills up.

“Andrew was a great guide and very friendly, the staff were wonderful when snorkelling and didn’t pressure you to upgrade to diving or buying photos/videos. The food on board was great with a good variety and the ship was clean without much delay. We didn’t get to do the water sports because of the weather so we can’t comment on that but the team themselves couldn’t be faulted. The only thing I have a slight issue with is the transfer from the hotel to the marina, but I think it’s more of a case of Egypt’s roads and how bumpy they are compared to how they are in the UK.”
