Russell Doyle –
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a five-day Nile cruise , but I got more than I bargained for in the best way possible . We went from the mystery of the tombs to lively markets and serene riverbanks in the same day
The entertainment onboard kept things fun – one night we even had a belly dancing show , and the whole dining room joined in clapping and dancing . I didn’t think I’d laugh this much on a historical trip
Highlights ? Definitely the Valley of the Kings , the temple at Abu Simbel , and the delicious stuffed pigeon we had on board – surprisingly tasty
Carolyn Tate –
I’ve been on river cruises before , but nothing like this . The Nile is mysterious and powerful , and watching the temples rise from its banks felt like something out of a fantasy novel .
The cruise boat itself was luxurious – our cabin was cleaned twice a day , the bed was like a cloud , and the rooftop had lounges where you could nap in the sun . I’ll never forget sipping karkadeh while drifting past green fields and distant minarets
The visits to the tombs and temples were always followed by pampering – cool towels , icy lemonade , and friendly staff who never missed a beat . Egypt knows how to treat its guests
Travis Monroe –
It’s rare to find a trip that’s both informative and indulgent – but this Nile cruise nailed it . We saw hieroglyphics that were 3 , 000 years old and then went back to a jacuzzi with a cocktail . That’s balance
The guides were passionate and knew how to keep things engaging . I learned more about ancient Egypt in five days than I ever did in school . And the views ? Constantly breathtaking – I took over 900 photos and I’m not even ashamed
There was even WiFi on board , which I didn’t expect but definitely appreciated . It let me send pics to my folks back home in real time
Joan Wheeler –
I booked this cruise mainly for the history , but it turned out to be way more . There was something magical about sailing into the past while enjoying the present . One afternoon , we saw dolphins near the boat and the whole crowd cheered like kids
The Temple of Kom Ombo was surreal – especially the medical carvings that showed surgical tools . The next morning we visited Philae , and honestly , I didn’t want to leave .
Back on board , the crew made us feel like celebrities . The spa treatments were so relaxing that I nearly missed dinner once – and the dinner that night ? Grilled fish and tahini that blew my tastebuds away
Marshall Green –
From Luxor to Aswan , every stop on this journey was a chapter in Egypt’s living book . Walking through the Temple of Karnak felt like stepping into another era . Our guide explained how it aligned with the stars – incredible !
The ship itself had the right mix of elegance and warmth . We enjoyed our private balcony , and the staff greeted us like old friends . Oh – and the pool deck ? Perfect for relaxing after a long day of temple hopping
Every little thing was thoughtfully arranged , down to the mint tea waiting for us after excursions . That kind of hospitality sticks with you

Betty Ann Rowe –
I don’t say this lightly – this trip was life changing . The sunsets alone made me tear up . Watching the sky turn gold over the Nile while we passed banana groves and feluccas was dreamlike
Luxor was packed with history , and our guide made every statue feel like a character in a story . I especially loved the Temple of Edfu – the carvings were so detailed , you could stare at them forever .
Every night on the cruise felt magical – soft music , delicious food , and the gentle rocking of the boat made for perfect sleep . I left my phone in the cabin most of the time because I didn’t want to miss a single moment
Clyde Dawson –
This cruise was the perfect balance of adventure and comfort . Every morning started with a delicious breakfast buffet , followed by breathtaking explorations – the Valley of the Kings was something else !
I liked how everything was timed perfectly – no rush , no crowds , and always enough time to soak in each temple or tomb . The boat felt cozy and elegant , and our room had everything we needed including a stunning view of the Nile .
They even surprised us with an Egyptian-themed night – music , costumes , and a hilarious galabeya party . It was unforgettable
Ruby Callahan –
From the moment we landed in Luxor , the energy was electric . The blend of ancient ruins and modern comfort is something I’ll never get over . The cruise staff made sure we felt like royalty – always smiling , always helpful .
The highlight for me was visiting the Temple of Hatshepsut – standing there , surrounded by cliffs , felt like a scene from an epic . We also got to explore local markets in Aswan , buy spices , and chat with shopkeepers who were beyond kind .
Don’t get me started on the food . Every meal was a mix of Egyptian and international dishes , and the desserts ? Heaven in every bite .
Henry McClain –
I wasn’t ready for how fun this would be . I expected history and temples , sure – but I didn’t expect the laughter , the great conversations with fellow travelers , and the joy of drifting down the Nile in pure style .
The cruise ship was more like a floating hotel . Clean , elegant , and the food kept us happy around the clock . Our guide made ancient Egypt feel alive with stories of queens , gods , and pharaohs that stayed with me even after I got back home .
It’s the little things that stood out – the welcome drink , the folded towel animals , the Egyptian pastries at tea time . Even the hot air balloon ride over Luxor was an optional thrill I won’t forget
Lana Wiggins –
Sailing between Luxor and Aswan felt like floating through time . Our cabin had a view straight out of a history documentary , but with the comfort of a luxury suite . We explored Karnak Temple at sunset and it literally took my breath away – the columns are giants !
Each stop brought a new layer of wonder . Kom Ombo had crocodile mummies , Philae Temple seemed to rise from the water , and Edfu was just mind-blowing . Onboard , we were spoiled with food , spa treatments , and warm Egyptian hospitality .
Billy Ray Collins –
This five-day cruise made it easy to fall in love with Egypt . Waking up in Luxor and falling asleep under the stars in Aswan felt like living in a movie .
I loved the blend of adventure and comfort . One minute I was crawling into ancient tombs , the next I was sipping mint tea in an air-conditioned lounge . The cruise was spotless , the crew was attentive , and the daily excursions were paced just right .
Special shoutout to the onboard breakfast chef – that Egyptian omelet changed me .
Each day gave us something new , but sailing quietly along the Nile each evening was my favorite part .
Marsha Dunlap –
This cruise had everything : temples , tombs , sunshine , and a pool with Nile views . The cruise between Luxor and Aswan was a perfect way to explore without feeling rushed .
We got to see the Valley of the Queens and even visited the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan , which is way more interesting than it sounds ! I loved how our guide shared fun little facts , like how ancient Egyptians invented toothpaste . Who knew ?
Nights were for live music and belly dancing on the top deck , with lanterns lighting up the riverbanks . The energy was joyful and relaxing all at once .
Wade Jenkins –
If someone had told me I’d be brushing up on hieroglyphics while lounging in a marble bathtub , I’d have called them crazy . But this cruise made that surreal dream come true .
Our ship was top-tier luxury – I mean , walk-in showers , spa service , and even a small gym . But what really blew me away was how smooth everything was organized . From the moment we left Cairo to the final morning in Aswan , we didn’t have to worry about a thing .
Each day brought a new treasure . Edfu Temple had the most massive pillars I’ve ever seen , and sailing by felucca near Elephantine Island was a spiritual experience .
Perfect balance of education , adventure , and straight-up pampering .
Lori Barnes –
We sailed from Luxor to Aswan over five glorious days that felt like stepping into another world . The cruise ship was modern and incredibly clean , with all the comforts you’d expect at a luxury hotel . The rooms had big windows , perfect for watching the palm trees drift by as we cruised the Nile .
Our days were packed with history – Luxor Temple at night gave me goosebumps , and Philae Temple in Aswan might be the most photogenic place I’ve ever seen . Kom Ombo was fascinating , especially learning about the crocodile god Sobek .
And can I just say , the rooftop bar at sunset ? Absolute vibes .
Earl Thompson –
never thought a cruise could be this relaxing and thrilling at the same time . We began our journey in Cairo and took a short flight to Luxor , where the magic instantly began . From Karnak to the Valley of the Kings , every step echoed ancient glory . But it was the cruise itself that became a floating dream – modern cabins , panoramic windows , even a pool on deck to soak in the sun as the Nile shimmered around us .
The crew ? Delightful and professional . The food ? Five-star restaurant quality , blending Egyptian spices with international flair . And the temples we visited en route – Edfu and Kom Ombo – felt like hidden treasures that came alive under the storytelling of our guide .
