“I am thrilled to be in Egypt for the first leg of our inaugural world tour and to welcome our fabulous guests on this unforgettable voyage with Uniworld,” said Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. “Egypt is the home of the first river cruise and a natural starting point for our journey. We enjoyed two days in Cairo and a great week on the S.S. Sphinx along the Nile, and that’s just the beginning.”
