Welcome!

After a dazzling 2026 Mediterranean ocean voyage, Hearst Ranch has set their sights on an amazing Nile River cruise for 2027.

Winery Proprietors, Jim & Debi Sauders, have turned their dream destination into reality, and would love you to join them aboard Uniworld’s stunning floating hotel – SS Sphinx.  Travel between major archaeological sites, visiting temples, tombs and a total of 12 UNESCO Heritage sites – all under the expert guidance of an experienced Egyptologist.

The 7-night cruise is anchored with a 2-night pre- and post-cruise stay in Cairo, allowing time to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, The Alabaster Mosque, Citadel of Salah al-Din, Pyramids at Giza, the Great Sphinx and more, all included in your cruise/tour fare.  Plus you have the opportunity of extending your post-cruise stay in Jordan for more dramatic landscapes, well-preserved ruins, deserts, and the star attraction of Petra.

Don’t miss this opportunity to add another check to your bucket list!
