Creator's Key Takeaways

We enjoyed brunch with a view on an itinerary very few seem to know about and only happened once.

Now, we were delighted with this news as meant we could witness the ship's departure.

So, we were so fortunate to cruise when we did.

The flies are everywhere. Way worse than in Cairo.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book any Suez Canal itineraries as soon as they are released due to high demand and scarce availability.
Consider the unusual itinerary on Brilliant Lady from Miami to Los Angeles via the Panama Canal in March 2026.
