If Cleopatra cruised the Nile today , she’d pick this boat
You know that feeling when everything just clicks ? That’s what this cruise gave us . We went in February , and the weather was perfect – warm days , cool nights . Our guide was a walking encyclopedia with a great sense of humor 😄 The onboard spa treatments were the cherry on top – I even got a foot massage after hiking up to the Temple of Hatshepsut .

History , sunshine , luxury cabins and memories that stay forever
We boarded in Luxor and right away we were greeted like old friends . The rooms were squeaky clean and bigger than I expected . My wife kept taking pictures of the decor – she loved the gold trims and Arabian patterns . Every site we visited came with stories that stuck with me . This trip made me fall in love with Egypt all over again .

Packed with history , luxury and just the right amount of fun
Our favorite temple on the trip was Philae – it felt like it rose out of the water just for us . Getting there by boat was thrilling . Back on the cruise , the vibe was just lovely – elegant music , cozy spaces to relax , and some playful entertainment in the evenings . If you’re into learning and relaxing at once , this ride does it right .

Best view of the Nile is definitely from the top deck
When you’re on that sun deck , with a breeze in your hair and a cold drink in hand , the world slows down . We saw kids playing by the riverbank , camels in the distance , and even a few herons . I felt totally disconnected from the noise of life . Our cabin had lovely wood accents and plenty of room . We slept like babies every night .
Wanda Lou Cartwright –
Delicious meals , perfect vibes , and incredible Nile scenery
Okay , let’s talk food – the chef onboard deserves a medal 🏅 From lamb tagine to fresh pastries , every meal was a treat . The restaurant had big windows so we could admire the Nile while munching away . I loved how every staff member went out of their way to smile and help . Everything was calm and easy , just how a vacation should be .

Sailing like pharaohs in modern elegance and true comfort
This cruise nailed the mix of ancient discovery and modern luxury . I was floored by the sleek design of our suite – super spacious and had a panoramic window right over the river . Our Egyptologist was both funny and brilliant , turning every stop into a storybook . I even danced during the Galabeya night . Me ! At 65 ! 🕺

Who knew floating through history could be so much fun
We joined the Chateau Lafayette in early March and oh boy , what a treat . The crew welcomed us with big smiles and fresh juice . The days were packed with adventures – from the tombs of the Valley of the Kings to the markets of Aswan . But my favorite part ? Lounging on the sundeck with my sister , watching the palm trees drift by . Pure bliss 😌
Travis Ray Henley –
Tombs , temples , and tranquility aboard Chateau Lafayette
I’d always dreamed of seeing Luxor and Aswan , and this cruise brought it to life . Every temple felt like walking through a dream – Edfu was a highlight with its giant columns and falcon gods . The cruise itself had all the bells and whistles – air conditioning that WORKED , hot showers , cozy beds , and the fanciest buffet I ever saw . It felt luxurious without being stuffy .
Darla Mae Hutchins –
Best part of our Egypt trip was floating in five-star style
Let me tell y’all , this ship was a DREAM 🌟 From the lobby to the restaurant , everything felt top-notch . The decor had that Arabian flair , and the service was smooth as a fresh jar of sweet tea . My husband and I loved watching the Nile roll by while sipping cold hibiscus juice . The staff made us feel right at home , and don’t get me started on the belly dancing night – pure magic !
Billy Joe Clements –
Nile cruise full of comfort , culture , and calming views
We had a blast cruising down the Nile on the Chateau Lafayette . The ship itself was absolutely gorgeous – every detail inside our cabin felt like royalty had passed through . The Nile views from the upper deck were so peaceful , especially during sunset when everything turned golden . The stops along the way were packed with ancient wonders – Karnak blew my mind , and Kom Ombo gave me goosebumps . The restaurant’s food ? Finger-lickin’ good with a fancy twist .
