Does anyone know if there are ferries that take trips form Italy/Greece/European countries to Egypt.

I'm thinking of catching one over but as my research has gone none are in business. :huh:

First of all-- you should check out a guidebook on Egypt, I'm sure they will have info on how to get there by boat. :)

This is what I found online-- Adriatic Lines operates ferry service to Alexandria & Port Said from Venice and also Greece; I would recommend going from Greece because it would only be one day instead of three (from Venice). Here is what I found and I'll post more if I come across it:

Actually I had another brilliant (ha) revelation: You could try emailing the people at www.raileurope.com or another RailPass outlet like www.ricksteves.com and see if the railpass would afford you a discount on the ferry fare to egypt... Even if you didn't have a railpass, you might be able to get the information about the ferry company from them. :) good luck!

thanks for the info SV!
