Gourmet meals , golden sunsets , and glorious temples
I was shocked — pleasantly — by how good the food was . I mean , sure , you expect decent meals on a cruise , but this was more like fine dining with an Egyptian twist .
I loved the lentil soup , the lamb kofta , and the desserts ? Don’t even get me started on the date pudding . Every bite was a celebration .
Add that to the golden sunsets over Esna and the easy – breezy atmosphere of the ship , and this cruise became the definition of tasteful adventure .

We cruised into ancient Egypt in serious style
Waking up every morning with ancient ruins just outside your window ? That’s not something you forget . The Blue Shadow gave us that every single day .
One of the highlights was visiting Philae Temple by boat — just like the ancient priests used to do . The cruise organized it perfectly , and even the timing made it feel private and magical .
Throw in marble bathrooms , satellite TV , and homemade falafel ? I was living the dream .

The spa treatment I didn’t know I needed
Halfway through the cruise , I treated myself to a massage at the onboard spa . Let me say , I left that room a new woman . My back hadn’t felt that relaxed since 1992 .
The wellness space is spotless , serene , and smells like lemongrass heaven . After a long day exploring Valley of the Kings , getting pampered like that made me want to book another cruise right away ( not saying I did , but I definitely did ).
Self – care on a floating hotel ? Yes please .

Exploring the temples of the gods without breaking a sweat
As someone who usually avoids group tours , I was amazed by how well this one was handled . The guides on the Blue Shadow didn’t rush , answered every odd question , and made even the tiniest carvings come alive with meaning .
Edfu and Kom Ombo felt like they were meant to be seen from a boat . Afterward , we returned to air – conditioned bliss and got handed fresh dates and juice . This wasn’t just sightseeing — it was storytelling and comfort all at once .

A cruise with belly laughs , spice , and ancient vibes
Now , I didn’t expect to get a comedy routine included in the entertainment , but the cruise staff had jokes for days . The belly dancing show turned into a crowd participation moment , and next thing you know , I’m on stage with a tambourine in my hand .
We cruised past banana plantations , ancient villages , and sleepy donkeys on the shore — and all while lounging in luxury . The contrast of ancient and modern was something special .
Also , that hibiscus tea ? Addictive .
Willard “Will” Tate –
Luxor sunsets , good jazz , and Egyptian charm
The evenings were my favorite part . After walking through tombs and temples all day , I’d grab a drink and find a chair on the sun – deck . One night , a saxophonist played jazz while the boat gently moved along the river . Just magic .
Blue Shadow really surprised me with how much character it had . Not just shiny and new , but full of little touches — fresh flowers in the hallway , Egyptian cotton robes , and staff who were always up for a good laugh .
I still dream of that sunset over Luxor Temple .

Breakfast with the Nile breeze and temples as neighbors
One early morning , I woke up to find hot air balloons floating above the west bank as I sipped my coffee . I’m not kidding , it felt like a scene from a movie . The dining room had huge glass walls , so you never missed a second of the Nile’s changing light .
Food ? Outrageously good . Egyptian stews , grilled fish , pastries , all served like it was a five – star resort . And they even had vegetarian options I actually liked .
I felt like the trip fed both my belly and my soul .
Raymond Duke –
From Karnak to Kom Ombo with luxury in between
We started in Luxor and hit some of the most iconic sites in Egyptian history — Karnak , Valley of the Kings , Edfu , Kom Ombo . The best part ? We didn’t have to lift a finger to organize anything . The cruise included excursions with excellent guides who knew every hidden story .
Blue Shadow’s itinerary is smooth and well – timed . You see the sights without rushing or missing lunch . The temples are massive and powerful , but coming back to an air – conditioned cabin with soft sheets and fresh fruit was equally glorious .
Perfect balance between history and comfort .
Mabel Ann Jenkins –
Floating five – star hotel with spa and incredible views
Let me tell y’all , I wasn’t ready for how posh this boat was . Blue Shadow Nile Cruise had every comfort I didn’t even know I needed . Heated towels , room service with hibiscus tea , and a rooftop deck that made me feel like Cleopatra . Every evening was different — one night belly dancing , next day it was an oud performance that had me emotional .
What I loved most ? Sitting by the pool with fresh mango juice while the ancient temples drifted by in the distance . The crew knew everyone by name and treated us like royalty . It was the small details that made it feel so warm and personal .
Earl McCoy –
Dancing under the stars on the Nile deck was surreal
The moment we boarded the Blue Shadow Nile Cruise , it felt like stepping into a floating palace . We had a suite with wide panoramic windows , and watching the Nile glide by each morning was an absolute dream . What really blew me away was the Nubian dance night — the colors , the music , the rhythm — it got everyone clapping and swaying under the open sky . It wasn’t just a show , it was a cultural celebration . The onboard spa was my sanctuary after long days of exploring Luxor’s wonders .
I didn’t expect to laugh so hard while learning how to dance with a stick like the locals do . I’m still sore from trying to do the twirls , but it was totally worth it . This cruise managed to blend history , relaxation , and a sprinkle of silliness all at once .
