Desfrute de 2 noites de cruzeiro no Nilo de Aswan a Luxor, Hot deal

I’m so happy that my wife talked me into doing this Nile cruise for our family of 4 adults - it was an amazing trip!!! First, the departing dock is in middle of Aswan in a great location to walk around town with nearby merchants. Next, our cabins were great in which my wife and I stayed on the floor just above the river and my boys were 1 flight up, both with sliding glass doors looking onto the Nile. The top deck had a pool with lounge chairs, tables & chairs, and a bar. Because the Nile is rather narrow, you can seat anywhere and get a great view. The pool had a depth of 1 foot (to sit and lay out) as well as small deep end - very nice. As for the food, it was overall good. We stopped at Kom Ombo & Edfu with our guides supplied by the cruise who were both very knowledgeable. You must take cart to Edfu (too far otherwise), which is an amazing Temple. You will also go thru the Esna lock canal which is kind of cool. You will arrive at the dock in downtown Luxor which is walking distance to the Luxor Temple. What makes this cruise perfect is that it is a 3 day, 2 night voyage. You don’t need more than that especially when u have to hit other locations in Egypt. Also, we hired our own personal guides in Luxor for the Valley of the Kings, etc. We wanted to do our itinerary and not be in big groups, not was just our personal preference. Do this cruise!!!

We have been on fifty-two cruises. Three of those cruises were on MSC, one on the Divina and two on the Seascape. I am sure that you have all seen the TV ad for a cruise on MSC, narrated by Drew and Orlando. This is our experience on the two different ships we were on. First, MSC should start a general course on the English language for all crew members dealing with the public. Their job is hard enough without the problem of trying to understand a language that is not their own. Second, one of our room stewards on the Seascape was under-trained for her job. We felt bad for her because she had no idea how to clean our stateroom, place new towels in the bathroom, etc. She was firmly over her head, very sad. Yes, we could have complained, but that would have been adding insult to injury, we decided that we did not want that for her. Third, the price of a seven-day cruise on MSC may be a bargain, but remember that old saying, " you get what you pay for." The food was average, the service was average, so in total the ship was average. "Caveat Emptor" my friends.

We travelled on the Mahrousa ship run by Sunrise; the experiences was very enjoyable; the staff were excellent in every way, the buffet lunches and dinners were good quality and varied; the shore visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo were well-organised though very crowded. Our concern was the organisation in advance via Viator who were the booking agent. We paid in advance as requested, we received a very vague document as a 'ticket', with no reference to the shipping company or the name of the boat or the pick up place or the drop off place. We tried multiple times to contact the Egyptian phone number given in our confirmation - no reply at any time. There was no local company name (we found out by chance it was Oceanus in cairo), there was no email address; we could not get info on which boat we would be travelling with, where it left from and when. It felt very unreliable - we ended up phoning Viator in the USA and even they could not get the local agent to reply. The lack of information and contact made us uncertain about whether the mystery boat even existed & we worried about having lost the money. Having booked months earlier, we only heard finally the night before departure. The trip was fine but inaccurately described. It is sold as a 2-3 day cruise, 2 nights on board. And that is strictly true - but only 24 hours is actually sailing, the rest in port at either end. We boarded in Aswan at midday Tuesday but didn't sail until 4pm. We arrived in Luxor at 3pm on Wednesday and sat in port, an unattractive part of Luxor, until breakfast time. The sailing part was of course delightful, just wish it was longer - sitting in port is not such fun. We would not be likely to use this agency again.

As I have already stated via email/claim/non-conformity, we do not pay for the quality of the service. We are still awaiting response to the email on 6/11/25 regarding BR-1314210765.

Smooth sailing, fascinating history, and five-star service .This cruise has it all. We loved learning about ancient Egypt from our guide while traveling in total comfort. Evenings were serene with live music and great company onboard. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Egypt.

If you're short on time but want to see the best of Upper Egypt, this cruise is ideal. We covered key sites like the Temple of Horus and the Luxor Temple without feeling rushed. Meals onboard were delicious, and watching the sunset from the sundeck was just magical.

The boat can get a little loud, especially near the rear. The outings were at odd hours. Still, the overall experience is great. This seemed the best way to go from Aswan to Luxor, stop at the highlights, and not take too much time. The staff and the food is great, with vegetarian options.

Excellent stay. Nice activities on the boat, parties, ice cream time, nice breakfast and dinner. Nice rooms and staff are really nice. Mohammed at reception was very nice as well as all the other guys. The chef was excellent and all restaurant staff and cleaners. Very friendly atmosphere. This was a nice way to visit the country for a short stay. Aswan is beautiful, I enjoyed the visits to the temples in Komb Ombo and Edfu. Also the weather was pleasant and I loved watching the sunset on the boat upper deck.

We did the cruise on the Tulip boat with the guide Ahmed. Very nice boat and excellent food. Service by employees, very good. The guide Ahmed also very attentive and helpful at all times. As an improvement, the cleaning of the carpet in the room. All right, overall.

The valley of the kings has been very beautiful. The best thing was Abu Simbel but, a little hard the journey.
