Barbara Ann McCall –
Everything about this cruise from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan was perfect .
We saw temples , tombs , and even a few camels . Our guide was friendly and full of great stories . The food on board was amazing ( shout out to the chocolate pudding ) , and our room was always clean and cool .
I liked that we had quiet moments too — just sitting on the deck , watching the Nile roll by .
If you love ancient stories
Eugene Walker –
Waking up on the Nile with temples waiting just outside your window ? Unreal .
We loved every moment of this cruise . The staff were kind , the food was tasty , and the river views were endless .
Highlights ? The Temple of Horus , the galabeya night ( we totally rocked ours ) , and sipping mint tea under the stars .
It’s history and luxury all rolled into one smooth sail .
Melissa Ann Gentry –
I had no idea how much I’d love cruising the Nile . It was peaceful , inspiring , and unexpectedly luxurious .
We learned so much about Egyptian gods , dynasties , and customs . And somehow did it all without stress .
The Nile moves slow and steady , and the boat matched that vibe — soft beds , quiet halls , and delicious buffet meals .
Watching the temples of Luxor light up at dusk was worth the whole trip .
Randy Lee Morgan –
If Indiana Jones had a luxury cruise , this would be it !
There were moments that felt straight out of an epic film — like walking through ancient columns with birds flying overhead , or riding a small boat to a temple surrounded by water .
But then you’d go back to your cabin , take a long hot shower , and grab a fresh espresso on the top deck . Talk about the best of both worlds !
This was a trip that fed our minds , tanned our skin , and filled us with awe .
Clara Jean Ramsey –
Our four-day Nile cruise was the highlight of our Egypt adventure .
The itinerary was packed but never felt rushed . From Karnak’s vast halls to the quiet beauty of Edfu , every stop had its own charm .
We had plenty of time to rest , swim , eat , and stargaze . I still remember the night we sat on the upper deck , tea in hand , as the boat drifted quietly past moonlit ruins .
It’s a trip that fills your camera roll and your heart .
Leroy Franklin –
Cruising the Nile was everything we hoped for and more . Waking up to the call of the river and ending each day with a sunset over ancient ruins — it doesn’t get better than that .
We visited temples that were like time machines — Hatshepsut’s monument rising out of the desert was jaw-dropping .
The ship had every comfort you could think of , and the staff made us feel welcome from day one .
It’s rare to travel in a way that feels both luxurious and deeply meaningful . This cruise nailed it .
Nancy Beckett –
From the moment we stepped aboard , it was clear this wasn’t just a sightseeing trip . The boat was modern and spotless , the views endless , and the AC was our best friend after wandering through temples .
Every day was filled with “ wow ” moments — walking through Karnak , taking a small boat to Philae , hearing ancient stories while surrounded by ancient walls .
Oh , and if you ever wanted to wear a galabeya and dance under the stars , this is your moment .
Truly one of the coolest ways to learn history — while floating on it !
Roger D. Mullins –
There’s something special about floating down the Nile while learning about gods , kings , and builders who shaped the ancient world .
The cruise was easygoing and full of discovery . The visits to Luxor and Aswan were well-organized , with excellent guides who really brought the past to life .
We even sailed past local villages and watched daily life unfold from the sun deck — kids waving , donkeys trotting , old men sipping tea by the riverbank .
The rooms were surprisingly spacious and quiet , and the food was both fresh and flavorful .
This trip combined luxury with legend , and I’m still dreaming of it .
June Holloway –
We didn’t realize how much this cruise would stick with us . It’s not just the temples ( though they’re amazing ) — it’s the calm flow of the Nile , the chatter of the markets , and the way the golden light falls on ancient stones .
We loved the boat — clean rooms , excellent food , and a cozy rooftop deck for morning coffee .
Each stop told a story . Karnak was massive and impressive , while Philae felt intimate and spiritual .
This trip made me feel small in the best way . Like I was part of something much bigger .
Wendell Carter –
When ancient legends meet first-class floating comfort
Never thought I’d drink mango juice on the Nile while staring at a 3,000-year-old temple — but that’s exactly what happened .
This cruise from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan was a blend of high-end living and raw history . The boat was top-notch , and the staff treated us like royalty . Every day brought a new chapter — Luxor’s grandeur , Aswan’s charm , and the surreal stillness of the river in between .
One unexpected joy ? The hot air balloon ride at sunrise over the Valley of the Kings — absolutely magical !
If you love history , but also appreciate a cold towel and gourmet lunch after an adventure , this cruise strikes the perfect balance .

Delilah Morgan –
We spent four days gliding down the Nile , and every minute felt cinematic .
Whether we were exploring tombs with colorful carvings or cruising past palm-lined shores , it felt like Egypt opened her arms just for us .
The cabins were elegant , the staff were phenomenal , and the views — good heavens , the views ! Every photo I took looked like a postcard .
I especially loved the stop at Philae Temple . Reached by boat , surrounded by water , it was the most serene spot on the journey .
Food was fresh and flavorful , from koshari to grilled lamb . One evening they even hosted a surprise tasting night , and I discovered I actually like eggplant .
Tanner Boyd –
This trip had it all — sacred tombs , dancing parties , camel sightings , and even a mini spa day on the water .
Each site we visited had its own flavor . Luxor was majestic , Aswan was peaceful , and Kom Ombo had that spooky-cool edge with the crocodile museum .
Our ship felt more like a boutique hotel than a boat . We had a balcony view and room service — not to mention the friendliest crew who remembered our names ( and our coffee orders ) .
I loved the flexibility of the itinerary . We explored in the morning , then chilled by the pool or joined a cooking demo on Egyptian dishes . One evening we dressed in traditional galabeyas and danced like nobody was watching ( but everybody was ) .
Brenda Sue Wallace –
From Cairo to Aswan , we cruised in total comfort . The cabins had more amenities than our last hotel in Paris , and the staff were sweeter than baklava .
We saw so much and yet never felt rushed . The boat glided from temple to temple , each one more breathtaking than the last . I’ll never forget stepping into Abu Simbel — the sheer scale of those statues nearly knocked me over ( and I’ve seen Mount Rushmore ) .
Nighttime was my favorite part . Sitting under the stars , chatting with fellow travelers , sipping mint tea while the river whispered beside us .
Clyde Parker –
What started as a bucket-list trip turned into one of the most peaceful and enriching adventures of my life .
The pace of this cruise is something special . Unlike the usual rush of tours , here we had time to absorb the stories and soak in the scenery .
We visited some of the greatest archaeological wonders I’ve ever seen , like the Temple of Horus at Edfu . It was like walking into a stone comic book , complete with mythical battles and sacred animals .
The cruise ship was high-end , but never stuffy . The crew had a warm smile for every guest , and the food — don’t even get me started on that grilled fish with tahini !
Loretta James –
This cruise was like opening a portal to ancient Egypt while being wrapped in the fluffiest towels imaginable .
Every day , we woke up somewhere new . One morning it was the temples of Luxor , the next it was Aswan’s granite quarries and peaceful islands . We even visited the Temple of Hatshepsut — I swear I felt her presence in the stones .
The cruise itself was beyond comfy . Big windows , smooth sailing , excellent coffee , and beds that felt like clouds .
The highlight for me was drifting past small riverside villages where life hasn’t changed in centuries . Watching locals fish as we passed , while the sun painted gold across the water — that was pure magic .
Cliff Hargrove –
We came for the temples , but we stayed for the stories and fun .
Our guide was a riot — cracking jokes between tales of gods and pharaohs . We learned about Horus and Sobek at Kom Ombo while giggling at ancient crocodile mummies ( yup , real ones ) .
The boat was like something out of a Bond movie — sleek design , cool lighting , and service that made you feel like a VIP .
I especially loved the early morning sail into Edfu . Mist over the water , the echo of calls to prayer , and the sound of hoofbeats as we took a horse carriage to the temple . Felt like a time warp .
Evenings were mellow . We played cards with other travelers , had wine under the stars , and one night we all dressed up in traditional clothes for a fun Nile party .
Janice Moore –
We took this cruise from Cairo thinking it would be a lovely way to wind down our Egypt trip — we had no idea it would become the highlight !
Imagine lounging on a shaded deck , cold drink in hand , while the Nile glides by with pyramids and temples in the distance . That was day one .
Then we explored Luxor and Aswan — both stunning in totally different ways . Luxor felt regal and powerful , especially Karnak . Aswan was more chill , with islands , gardens , and the friendliest people .
The ship felt like a boutique hotel on water . Super comfy beds , big showers , and Wi-Fi that actually worked .
Eddie Ray McCoy –
From the first minute on board , we knew this was not your average cruise . The vessel was elegant yet welcoming , and the staff treated us like old friends .
We explored temples that made us feel like tiny grains of sand — the scale and detail of Karnak and Philae were beyond imagination . I never thought I’d be face to face with hieroglyphs I used to read about in grade school .
The meals were gourmet and beautifully presented , with Egyptian twists that kept things exciting . I loved sitting up top in the evening , watching the stars wake up over the Nile .
Best of all , the trip was well-paced . We saw so much without feeling rushed , and each night ended in a cozy cabin with soft sheets and views of the river quietly flowing by .
Marla Cunningham –
We joined this cruise thinking it would be mostly relaxing , but it turned out to be one of the most thrilling cultural experiences we’ve had ! The combination of chill boat time and jaw-dropping ancient sights was perfect .
Luxor Temple at sunset ? Unreal . Our guide told us secrets of the Pharaohs while we stood in the same spots where royalty once walked .
The boat itself was super modern , with comfy rooms , great AC , and amazing food every single meal . There was even a small pool on the deck — a blessing after wandering through desert temples all afternoon !
My favorite part ? Floating past palm trees and watching life happen on the Nile — fishermen , kids waving from the shore , and golden sunlight over ancient ruins .
Harold Bennett –
I’ve never mixed five-star luxury with 5,000-year-old history before, but this cruise did exactly that . From Cairo to Luxor and Aswan , we floated through time on a gorgeous ship with modern comforts and panoramic views of the Nile . The cabins were sleek and spotless , with big windows that made each sunrise feel magical .
Our days were filled with astonishing visits — Karnak Temple absolutely blew my mind , and walking into the Valley of the Kings felt like entering a movie set . The local guides had a knack for storytelling , making every column and carving come to life .
Evenings were a whole other world . Delicious dinners on the upper deck , smooth music in the lounge , and the gentle river breeze — it was all perfectly timed for us to unwind after each day of exploring .
