Top notch cruise with EXCEPTIONAL crew - Ship was beautiful and classy. Food was excellent. Pool was cold, but area was amazing to lounge and read a book. The staff, however, exceeded my expectations. Some of the best service I've ever received. Would get us things "off menu" if we needed which was much appreciated when our bellies did too much indulging the day/night before. Would highly recommend this cruise!

Best of Nile River cruises and quality - The boat, food, staff were all awesome. Could not have asked for a better experience. We just returned from our August trip, which is low season with limited travelers, yet the staff was still at the top of their game, very friendly, and had tons of food and service, without low season limitations. Enjoyed every bit of the trip, tours, and boat.

Amazing Cruise! - What a fabulous time and an amazing cruise! The boat is beautiful and furnished with a lot of class...but still comfortable. The boat is very clean. The staff were superb! They were all so friendly, happy and helpful - it was wonderful. The food was amazing - we have never eaten so much. The variety of food on offer for breakfast, lunch and dinner was just stunning. They wash all food in bottled water so you can eat anything on offer without risk of tummy upsets. The stops were obviously great but the cruise itself was very memorable and we highly recommend it!

Upscale boat with fine dining and great tour guides - One of the more upscale boats on the Nile. Definitely upgrade to a suite-they are spacious. Service was impeccable-favorite moments were sitting on the pool deck with drinks and snacks. Loved both gift shops on the boat-so convenient with good prices. Very good guides and great organization. Food quality was very good and restaurant staff was excellent. Very fun goodie bags on New Years Eve.

Luxury Nile Cruise with amazing tour guide - Hany Refaat was an amazing tour guide- extremely knowledgeable, engaging and great company. We had a Presidential suite, and it was worth the upgrade. The facilities on board were great, the toilet was a little dated and Wi-Fi intermittent- small issues that had no impact on our overall enjoyment. We made good use of the the upper deck but the real 5 star attractions came with the guided tours and the scenery. A huge thank you to Hany who made our 30th Anniversary extra special. Well worth the effort and the money.

excellent service, but impossible to sleep due to the noise of the engine - A very nice boat, the service is really excellent and the food good. Unfortunately they put us in a room at the back of the boat and at night it was impossible to sleep due to the noise and vibrations produced by the engine. This was despite the fact that the ship was practically empty and I had paid for an upgrade in order to have a room on the top floor.
