Etta Mae Garrison –
This wasn’t our first time to Egypt , but it was our favorite by far . The way this tour blends old and new is just brilliant . Cairo has this buzz that’s hard to describe , and then you hop on the boat and it’s like stepping into a peaceful oasis .
Highlights ? Definitely wandering around the Temple of Hatshepsut , and our surprise detour to a Nubian village where we danced with locals and got henna tattoos .
Also — the falafel ? Life changing .
Can’t believe all this happened in just 10 days .
Jed Hankins –
Let’s talk about contrasts : one minute you’re deep in an ancient tomb covered in hieroglyphs , next minute you’re sipping fresh juice in a hotel that looks like a Bond set . Cairo’s energy was electric , and we adored the chaos just as much as the calm of the cruise .
The boat had entertainment nightly — tanoura dancing , live music , even a mini galabeya party ( we rocked the outfits ) .
By the time we reached Luxor , it felt like we had stepped into an ancient film set . Every step of the way , this trip delivered something special .
Peggy Lynn Wheeler –
Every day was a new postcard moment
Waking up with the Nile drifting past my window is now my new standard of normal . The cruise was peaceful , never crowded , and the rooftop lounge was chef’s kiss .
One morning we docked near Edfu and hopped into a horse carriage — that was hilarious and a bit bumpy , but unforgettable . Then we walked into this towering temple that made us feel like ants in the best way possible .
This trip gave us laughter , learning , and luxury — sometimes all in one hour .
Otis Caldwell –
Y’all , this was my first cruise ever and now I’m ruined for life . The boat was basically a floating palace . Marble bathrooms , crisp sheets , and views that made you stop mid-sentence .
The real kicker though ? The excursions . Temple of Philae had me staring like a tourist cliché , and Kom Ombo made me want to start a snake-worship cult . Don’t worry — I didn’t .
Also , never underestimate the joy of watching fishermen on the Nile while sipping Turkish coffee .
Ruth Anne Clay –
Traveling through Egypt in a floating hotel felt like something out of a movie . The itinerary covered all the big names : Giza , Luxor , Aswan , Edfu — each one richer than the last in history and character .
We loved the attention to detail . From airport pickup to our final farewell , we never once felt lost or unsure . There was always someone smiling , guiding , or sharing an ancient legend .
I’ve never been on a trip where I learned this much and lounged this hard . Sun , stories , and shisha — not a bad way to spend a few weeks .
Clyde Bowman –
From dusty tombs to starry skies , this journey had it all
One minute you’re staring down a mummy in the museum , next you’re dancing on the cruise deck with a bellydancer in glitter . That’s the vibe of this trip — classy , thrilling , and just unpredictable enough to keep you hooked .
The hot air balloon ride in Luxor was insane — watching the sun rise over the Nile gave me chills , not gonna lie . And those ancient temples ? Every wall is a story waiting to be decoded .
We even got to stroll through local markets and try some spicy koshari that nearly blew my hat off . Ten outta ten for flavor and flair .
Billy Ray Murdock –
An unforgettable dive into Egypt’s rich heart
I’m no history buff , but even I found myself glued to every word from our Egyptologist guide . The pyramids were insane up close , but honestly ? Abu Simbel stole the show — the sheer size and symmetry hit different when you’re standing right in front of it .
The cruise gave us downtime between adventures , which we appreciated more than expected . Imagine waking up to Nile views , hitting temples before noon , then sipping mint tea on the sundeck — not bad for ten days .
If you’re looking to see the best of Egypt without stressing over logistics , this one’s a gem .
June Harlow –
Smooth sailing , ancient tales , and laughs on deck
I never thought I’d giggle while looking at a sphinx , but here we are . Our guide had this wicked sense of humor that turned every site into a fun story hour — even the serious-looking statues didn’t stand a chance . The cruise ship itself was fancy without being stiff , and I swear I gained 5 pounds on the food alone .
We loved our time in Aswan the most — the vibes , the felucca ride , and that chilled hibiscus tea . Cairo was buzzing , and our hotel had views that made us forget jet lag .
Let’s just say , if you’re into pharaohs , pretty things , and pampering — this trip serves all three on a golden platter .
Mason Buckridge –
Luxury cruising under the Egyptian sun with epic history around every bend
We came for the monuments but stayed for the magic . From the moment we stepped foot in Cairo , we were met like royalty and that same VIP vibe stayed with us throughout the entire trip . The Nile Cruise was straight out of a dream — five star rooms , gourmet food every night , and sunsets that’ll make your Instagram jealous .
Every stop felt like a time machine : the Temple of Karnak blew our minds , and walking through the Valley of the Kings made us feel like explorers in a history book . Our guide had stories for days — who knew ancient Egypt had so much scandal and drama ?
Evenings were just as special , with traditional entertainment on board and moments to just chill under the stars . The transition between Cairo and the cruise was seamless , making us feel pampered and safe at all times .
This wasn’t just a vacation — it was an adventure with elegance sprinkled on top .
