Advantages: See all the ancient towns cities and temples
Disadvantages: The heat, but only if you let it grt to you
...up to go on a Nile Cruise with our tour operator, Thomsons. It was for four days and three nights and cost £330 all inclusive this included an outside cabin, (a window cabin), all meals some buffet some a la Carte, our own guide, (English speaking Egyptologist), all the trips and entrance charges to the temples and museums.

Holiday of a Lifetime
Review of Nile cruises by
sandyback75
Advantages: Lots of Interesting Things to See
Disadvantages: Tiring
...the widow and seeing the Nile and the scenery pass by. The size of the room, while a bit awkward, wasn't much of a problem as we didn't spend much time in it apart from sleeping.
The boat itself is looking a bit tired, it could certainly do with a refit. I have heard that they are scrapping it at the end of the season. Viking II is a four star boat. On deck at the front of the boat there is a small splash pool that was a great way to cool down ...

NILE CRUISE: PART TWO
***********************
Having had a fair number of favourable comments on my first attempt at a Ciao review, and having re-read my offering, and those of the much more experienced reviewers here, I thought I'd put a little more flesh on its bones, as it were; beefed up by some of our more personal experiences, and a little more detail in terms of the sights encountered on our last little jaunt into the larger world. I'll ...

Baksheesh, rose petals, dreams and mysteries.
Review of Nile cruises by
teacherofhooch
Advantages: A truly wonderful experience
Disadvantages: Maybe a dodgy tummy.
...
A warm welcome on our Nile boat, our cabins were small, neat and clean. The reception was comfortable and pleasant. We went just after 9/11 and just fell into the 6 weeks non cancellation period, so we took the chance. Everyone said we were mad! I was a little worried but on the other hand terrorist strike everywhere and I think we cannot live our lives worrying where it will be next, we would never do anything.
The guides told us not to leave ...

Nile Cruise another perspective
Review of Nile cruises by
Deva
Advantages: History and having a Thomson rep at all times
Disadvantages: too short
I went on a Nile Cruise with Thomson. It was a five star boat part of the Presidential line called the Nile Commodore.
In the brochure the details included all excusions which were packed into the 7 days, I thought oh yea dragged around from tomb to tomb but it was booked so off we went.
We arrived to a wonderful friendly greeting. Thomson had a rep on board who came everywhere with us and was always around to help. Not a pretty young thing ...

updated CAIRO AND CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER
Review of Nile cruises by
MRS.CANADA
Advantages: Please read my review
Disadvantages: Please read my review
...Aviv on El Al Airlines.
The Nile looks like a snake, as it is not as wide as I had imagined it would be. When the River reaches Khartoum it becomes one River that has two sources, (the Blue Nile from Ethiopia and the White Nile from Lake Victoria in Kenya).
I am very interest in Egyptology as well as Ancient Cultures from around the World.

Our trip was a three-day in Cairo. We stayed at the Sheraton El Gezirah Hotel. ...

Discover Egypt - a great company to see Egypt with
Review of Nile cruises by
tattie123
Advantages: Cruising shows the history of Egypt in a snap shot
Disadvantages: Very tiring
...week long cruise down the Nile going out in December and including 10 free excursions for £399! This was advertised with a company called Discover Egypt that I had never heard of. I thought that this was far too good to be true and that there must be a catch.
Talking it over with my partner we decided that maybe we should give them a call and get some more details. We were told that for the £399 we could have a 4* full board cruise on board the ...

An amazing time had by all
Review of Nile cruises by
Danny-Collins
Advantages: Breath taking views and a wealth of information
Disadvantages: Not enough time to see every thing
What a wonderful week we have had in the beautiful land of the Pharohs. After a long flight (this is another review) we arrived in to Luxor airport which if you had never been to this part of the world could have been a shock. The arrivals hall was chaotic with holiday makers looking lost and reps shouting for your attention.We didn't get our Visas in advance and this was not a problem for us as all we had to do was hand over an english ten pound ...

Cosmos Wonders of the Nile cruise
Review of Nile cruises by
Want_to_travel
Advantages: Breathtaking scenery, amazing relics, good food, knowledgeable Egyptologist and friendly crew
Disadvantages: Hassling from traders and local guides
We have just returned from an amazing holiday on the upper Nile. We booked through Cosmos and they used a Flash International boat called Magic 1.
The boat was clean, tidy and realatively plush.
The crew were friendly and always ready for a joke.
The food was very good - not resturant standard but good honest food.
The Egyptologists that came with us were nothing short of fantastic.
It was an all inclusive trip and the local wine and beer was ...

Honeymoon Hell !!!!!!!!!!!
Review of Nile cruises by
janelake
Advantages: the food posioning makes you loose weight!
Disadvantages: what a waste of hard earned money
I would like to share with you the nightmare of my honeymoon, this should have been the holiday of a lifetime, but it was aweful.
The holiday was with cosmos booked through Lunn Poly, Flash cruises ruined the first week of our honeymoon, the boat was terrible the paint was comming off the walls in the shower and the food was so repetative, it made you not want too eat it even though you were relly hungry as sometimes the wait inbetween meal could ...
