A Five-Star Floating Paradise
We’ve stayed in luxury hotels before, but the Sonesta St. George Nile Cruise redefined what luxury means. The interior design of the ship was elegant, and the service was impeccable. The Sun Deck’s pool with a shallow extension was the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying panoramic views of the Nile. The cultural excursions were well-organized, and we were particularly impressed by the visit to the Karnak Temples and the serene sail around the Botanical Island. Every detail of this cruise was thoughtfully crafted to create a world-class experience!
