“Although we had a suite which was excellent, the rooms are good. Staff great, very welcoming.”
Breakfast was good. I like buffets because my wife can take the small portions she needs. Variety good.

“A very mixed review.”
A very mixed review. On the one hand, the ship's crew were amazing. You are well taken care of; they are friendly and helpful, and happy to help make your experience a pleasant one. They keep the facilities pristine, and seem to enjoy their work.

“Pleasant relaxing cruise”
The boat is a little dated but very well maintained and extremely clean. I was impressed with the housekeeping, spotlessly clean cabin and the rest of the boat. Food was ok, not excellent but decent, good variety and different dishes every day. I would only recommend this cruise if you want to take it easy and not rush to Abu Simbel by road, it is quite relaxing way travelling from Aswan to Abu Simbel.
