Insight Vacations and 'Best Cruise Ship' River Tosca Add Elegance to Egypt Gold

In September of 2012, the Ministry of Tourism in Egypt recognized the River Tosca out of nearly 300 cruise ships sailing the Nile River as the “Best Cruise Ship” to commemorate International “World Tourism Day.”

The River Tosca, owned by Insight's sister company, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, is a newly-built cruiser with all the modern conveniences, yet exquisitely decorated in fine Egyptian style. The roomy cabins are tastefully designed with chic, all-white armchairs, decadent fluffy beds and a luxury marble bathroom with separate bathtub and walk-in shower. And the sun deck, complete with pool and shaded cabanas, is the best possible place to watch the Nile River gliding by.

According to Marc Kazlauskas, President of Insight Vacations, “Insight's Gold itineraries to Egypt are an unforgettable way to see this beautiful and captivating country filled with some of the world's most celebrated cultural heritage and iconic landmarks. Viewing it from the deck of the River Tosca, the finest river cruise ship on the Nile, makes the experience even more incredible.”
