In February 2025 our honeymoon aboard Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya was a dream: modern luxury afloat on the timeless Nile. Elegant décor, excellent air‑con, plush bedding and fine dining made us feel pampered. Each day we visited quiet ruins, strolled through desert oases, and learned about ancient Egyptian culture from expert guides. We giggled at each other’s attempts to mimic hieroglyphs while relaxing on deck with hibiscus tea. A sophisticated yet playful journey through history and comfort

Our group joined the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya Nile cruise in late January 2025 and were impressed by its balance of comfort and discovery. Modern amenities like spacious cabins and refined dining harmonized with Egypt’s rich history. We kayaked around a secluded island, explored old temples untouched by crowds, and enjoyed surprise musical performances on deck. I loved the touch of humour from the crew when they joked about ancient pharaohs and papyrus boats 😊

In March 2025 we spent an unforgettable week drifting from Esna to Aswan aboard Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya. The boat’s modern elegance—air‑conditioned cabins, plush seating, gourmet five‑course dinners—felt seamless next to its traditional design. We wandered through ancient ruins, drifted along quiet Nile canals, and laughed at hilarious stories from local guides under starlit skies. It was cultural immersion and luxury rolled into one—without ever taking itself too seriously 😂
Lola Simmons –
We experienced the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya Nile voyage in April 2025 and it felt like living inside a beautiful painting! Elegant cabins, fine linens, modern bathrooms – yet the vibe remained rustic and cultural. While cruising we visited remote archaeological sites and even camel‑led sandwalks through small desert trails. Our laughter-filled evenings on deck made it feel like we’d chartered our own floating villa. A fun‑filled mix of history, serenity and luxury 👍
Hank Baker –
From February through April 2025 our family boarded the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya for a seven‑night Nile adventure. It was five‑star comfort afloat: modern cabins, gourmet meals, spacious lounge areas and wonderful hospitality. Yet the real treasure was the privacy—exploring seldom‑visited ruins, walking sandy desert trails, and meeting villagers in hidden Nile coves. I appreciated how the trip combined comfort, history and a sense of exploration without feeling overly formal or touristy.

On board Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya in March 2025, we had a delightful week drifting between Esna and Aswan, soaking in ancient culture. The vessel’s luxe amenities—plush bedding, air‑conditioning, refined dining—didn’t clash with the traditional vibe, they elevated it. We trekked through palm‑lined deserts, visited quiet temples, and savored fresh local cuisine under the stars. The experience felt both high‑end and authentic, with a good dash of humour when our captain cracked jokes about camels and Cleopatra 😊

We enjoyed the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya Nile odyssey from mid‑January to early April 2025 and it was the perfect blend of comfort and curiosity. Each day brought a new gem: secluded temples, quiet desert outings, and traditional folktales told beside a campfire. The vessel itself felt first‑class—modern cabins with rich fabrics, fine linens, and crystal clear lounge areas. The personal touch of the crew made us feel more like honoured guests than passengers 🌟

During our week‑long journey from Esna to Aswan aboard Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya in February 2025 we discovered what “luxury sailing” truly means. Grand linen curtains, spacious modern cabins, and even air‑con in the desert heat – yet everything felt authentic and rooted in Egyptian heritage. Our favourite stop was a little island market where no big vessel can dock. I loved learning about pharaonic history, exploring ruins with our guide, and ending each day with a sunset drink on deck 😂

Our group boarded Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya in early April 2025 and the feeling was like stepping into a beautifully restored slice of history—but with wifi and plush cabins! We cruised leisurely between Esna and Aswan, stopping at hidden archaeological sites, strolling through desert landscapes, and enjoying lavish onboard meals. Sharing jokes over sunset views on deck made it feel like a private adventure with friends rather than a formal tour. The ship’s crew were friendly, the décor elegant and the pace just right.
Mabel Cooper –
We sailed on Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya for seven nights between Esna and Aswan in March 2025 and I must say the modern transport comforts onboard blended superbly with old‑world luxury. I especially enjoyed drifting past ancient temples by day and sipping mint tea under starlit skies at night – the Nile felt timeless. The trip’s highlight was visiting remote farming villages where no large cruise ships can reach, giving us a true taste of rural Egypt. It balanced adventure, culture and top‑notch comfort, without ever feeling stuffy or overdone 😊

Traveling on the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya in February 2025 felt like striking the perfect balance between adventure and rest. Each day brought thrilling explorations—walking through ancient temples, sailing past tiny islands, and even wandering through desert paths where the silence was powerful. But every evening felt like a retreat. I’d enjoy a delicious dinner, share stories with fellow travelers, and then sit on deck as the stars scattered across the Nile sky. It was both exhilarating and calming, a combination that made this journey unforgettable. 🌙
Natalie Reed –
In April 2025, I joined this seven night journey and it turned out to be a cultural immersion wrapped in comfort. Every day held something new—ancient temples with intricate hieroglyphs, village markets filled with color, and breathtaking Nile landscapes. The Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya itself was a floating haven, with a friendly crew that treated us more like friends than guests. I spent hours simply sitting on the deck, watching life unfold along the riverbanks, children playing, farmers tending fields. It was both relaxing and inspiring, a reminder of how history and daily life are still connected in Egypt.
Henry Cooper –
Our March 2025 voyage on the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya felt dreamlike. The air was filled with history at every stop, whether we were wandering temples or watching the stars at night. What amazed me was the harmony of tradition and modernity. The dahabiya sails gave a sense of authenticity, but inside, everything was designed for comfort. I especially liked how the cruise avoided the crowded docks, instead gliding into smaller, quieter areas that felt untouched. The experience was both grand and personal, like history unfolding right in front of us while we traveled in elegance. ✨
Grace Walker –
February 2025 gave me this unforgettable cruise, where each day felt both educational and indulgent. The Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya was elegant without being overwhelming. I especially enjoyed the guided visits to sites like Kom Ombo and Edfu, where the carvings were explained with patience and detail. Between excursions, I could recline on the deck, watching the palm groves and distant villages pass by slowly. Luxury here wasn’t flashy, it was graceful—soft linens, attentive staff, and meals served with pride. By the end, I felt both rested and enriched, as if the Nile had shared part of its ancient story with me.

In January 2025, I stepped aboard the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya and felt like I was part of an expedition, but with cushions and candlelight. The way the sails moved silently made the river feel alive, carrying us into places I never imagined seeing. What I loved most was the adventurous side of this trip—walking on remote Nile islands, spotting birds that darted across the water, and exploring temples that seemed frozen in time. Yet every evening, I returned to comfort, with meals that tasted like a feast and a bed that promised rest. It was like being an explorer and a guest of honor at the same time.
Sophia Bennett –
Our journey from Esna to Aswan in March 2025 on the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya was everything I hoped it would be. From the very first day, I felt swept up into history, yet cared for with modern comfort. The cultural highlights were many, especially stepping inside ancient temples where I could trace carvings with my fingertips. But the charm of this trip was also in the simple things, like sitting on deck with fellow travelers, laughing as the sails carried us further south. It was a mix of adventure, culture, and indulgence that made each day special. 🏺
William Hayes –
The magic was in the details. The way the sails caught the wind, the way meals were set with care, the way we stopped at sites that felt almost private. Visiting smaller islands and temples added layers of adventure, while evenings under the stars offered relaxation beyond measure. Luxury wasn’t loud here, it was quiet and thoughtful. I left feeling refreshed, as though the Nile itself had shared its stories with me.
Olivia Brooks –
On our cruise in April 2025, I felt like we had discovered a secret way to travel the Nile. The boat carried us into places where the silence was only broken by birds or the call of prayer from a distant village. We visited temples that glowed in the late afternoon sun, making history feel alive right in front of us. At the same time, I enjoyed luxurious touches like freshly prepared meals and cozy lounges. There was even a playful energy among fellow travelers, making the evenings full of fun. It felt adventurous, cultural, and comfortable all at once.
Samuel Foster –
January 2025 gave me the gift of a slow and elegant journey down the Nile. The Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya reminded me that travel can be about savoring, not rushing. Each morning began with coffee on deck, watching fishermen cast their nets. Each afternoon brought us face to face with monuments that seemed untouched by time. The ship itself had a quiet beauty, with polished decks and billowing sails that added drama to the skyline. By evening, laughter and shared stories filled the air. Adventure here wasn’t only about sites, but also about human connection.
Hannah Mitchell –
Taking this cruise in March 2025 was both enlightening and relaxing. The Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya offered a unique way to see Egypt’s history up close. I particularly enjoyed the balance of structured sightseeing and laid back afternoons. One day we explored Edfu Temple with plenty of time to admire the carvings, another we simply floated past palm groves, listening to the sound of water against the hull. The staff shared stories of the river, which made me feel even more connected to the culture. Luxury and history never felt at odds here, they blended together seamlessly.
Matthew Green –
The boat glided quietly, powered by sails, creating a peaceful rhythm that matched the Nile’s current. The crew went out of their way to make sure each guest felt part of a family, which added warmth to the voyage. Exploring temples like Kom Ombo without the rush of large groups gave me the chance to really appreciate the details. Luxury was present in every moment, whether it was the bedding, the carefully prepared meals, or the way time seemed to slow down. It felt like living in a story, not just reading one.
Emily Turner –
In April 2025, I took this seven night cruise and it was truly an odyssey. We sailed between Esna and Aswan, uncovering hidden gems that bigger vessels skip. One highlight was walking through small villages where the smell of fresh bread filled the air. Another was seeing temples without the crowds, where I could imagine life thousands of years ago. The evenings were filled with conversation, music, and the soft glow of lanterns on deck. The Princess Cleopatra blended old world charm with just enough luxury to make the journey seamless. I felt both spoiled and connected to the spirit of ancient Egypt.
Daniel Morris –
I joined the cruise in January 2025, and from the first moment on the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya, I knew it would be unforgettable. The cabins were a perfect mix of elegance and comfort, with polished wood and soft bedding that gave me restful nights. Sailing with the wind made everything feel authentic, as if I were part of an ancient voyage. Yet at the same time, we enjoyed modern luxury, from delicious meals to attentive service. What I found most adventurous was exploring places off the beaten path, especially tiny Nile islands that felt like secret worlds. Standing on deck at sunset while the sails caught the golden light was pure magic.
Rebecca Collins –
Our March 2025 trip on the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya was like stepping into a history book, but with cushioned seats and great food. I loved how each stop seemed to whisper secrets of the past, from temples rising along the Nile to local villages where life felt beautifully unchanged. What impressed me was the balance of relaxation and exploration. One day I was lounging with a cool drink, the next I was wandering ancient sites that left me wide eyed. The boat was small enough to feel intimate but big enough to feel pampered. The crew had a sense of humor that kept everyone laughing, which made the nights under the stars even more special. 🌌
James Whitfield –
I boarded the Princess Cleopatra Dahabiya in February 2025 and quickly realized this was no ordinary Nile journey. The boat itself felt like a floating boutique hotel, blending the elegance of traditional sails with the ease of modern comfort. Each cabin had a charm of its own, cozy yet luxurious, and the common deck was the perfect spot to sip tea while watching the Nile glide by. What stood out most for me were the hidden sites we reached that larger cruise ships simply cannot access. Stopping at Esna and drifting toward Aswan felt like traveling back in time, with temples, villages, and landscapes unfolding at every bend. Meals were served with genuine warmth, and the evenings often had laughter mixed with the breeze. The combination of luxury and authenticity made each day feel like an adventure crafted just for us.
