Suez

Port Suez, Egypt's gateway at the northern edge of the Gulf of Suez and the historic Suez Canal, stands apart from other cruise ports by combining a living maritime legend with immediate access to world-class Egyptian experiences. It sits beside a bustling city that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in millennia of culture, offering guests a rare chance to pair the awe of watching giant ships glide through the canal with immersive shore excursions: a sunrise run to Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza, a Sinai desert panorama, and Red Sea snorkeling along sheltered Gulf coves. The signature experiences here are designed to maximize time on shore—panoramic canal-view photo stops, curated ancient-history tours, and optional beach-and-beyond itineraries that let travelers sample museums, bazaars, mosques, and the glow of evening Nile-adjacent life in a single day. The port’s facilities are purpose-built for comfort and efficiency, with a modern terminal, smooth embarkation and debarkation, and easy passenger movement between ships and shore, plus lounges, duty-free shops, and multilingual guest services. Fleet features at Suez reflect the ships that call here: generous deck spaces, panoramic observation lounges, and onboard amenities that span multiple dining venues, spa and fitness centers, enrichment programs with Egyptologists, and family-friendly entertainment. Onboard services emphasize warm Egyptian hospitality, seamless connectivity, and culinary journeys that invite guests to linger over mint tea and mezze as they share stories of canal crossings and desert adventures. In short, Port Suez stands out as a heritage-rich, logistics-smart hub that marries Egypt’s storied past with modern cruise-life convenience, while promising Red Sea adventures and canal magic just beyond the gangway.
