Sailing aboard Blue Shadow III was like stepping into a history book with a touch of luxury. The Valley of the Kings left me speechless, and lounging on the sundeck Jacuzzi made the journey even more delightful. The ship’s renovation is evident in its modern yet classic charm. I couldn’t get enough of the stunning Nile views while sipping my morning coffee

This trip offered so much more than just a luxurious ship. The hot air balloon ride in Luxor was the highlight of my journey. Floating above the Nile at sunrise felt surreal. The Temple of Horus in Edfu and the crocodile statues at Kom Ombo were fascinating. If you love mixing adventure with comfort, this is for you

I appreciated the cozy cabins after long but exciting days. This cruise was the perfect balance for my curious yet laid-back soul
