Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We were recommended by a friend in Egypt who took the cruise before, and it did not disappoint. Particularly Mr. Ahmed Awad went beyond and above solving a small issue we had.

Negative: It's not that we didn't like, but we did not take their tour package that the cruise was offering. We arranged private tours in Luxor, Edfu and Aswan. It was lot cheaper and better.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Very nice cabin and public spaces, very quiet. Beautiful Nile views all along. Drinks were the only extra charges and they were reasonably priced, including a lovely Egyptian sparkling rosé! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Negative: Food choices (buffet only) were repetitive and quality was mediocre. One of us got a stomach bug, probably from undercooked chicken.

Summary: Relaxing Nile cruise with all the highlights of Luxor and Aswan

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Staff were super friendly, specially Mahmoud, Sayeed were always nice to us.

Negative: The cruise don't know what Entertainment really means, their idea of Gallabeya is nothing but a ruffle draw which is also sponsored by cruise customers :P, what they should have done is bring egyptian cultural dance to entertain foreigners as we went there to experience local culture not ruffle draw and beer as a winners prize. My family thought it was a joke calling it as a party, then next day the nubian show was also very miniscule and appears to be a way to say we have added activity for you but not a true entertainment for people who are eagerly waiting for it.

Summary: Overall Cruise ship is new and service is awesome but failed to entertain us

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The boat is beautiful and clean. The staff is absolutely wonderful

Negative: The private tours they offer were not good. They were very expensive and the guides were not good. In one case I had a very bad experience. The guides don’t know much, they rush you through the sites and to the souvenir shops (which are company owned)

Summary: Beautiful boat, beautiful room, magical views, amazing staff… I felt a little nickeled and dined

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We loved every minute of our stay at the Steigenberger Minerva. The food was great, the scenery incredible, the facilities nice and well taken care of. We particularly enjoyed the pool and pool deck. Mr. Michaels, Mr. Attuck and all the staff were incredibly hospitable.

Negative: The price of the shore excursions was a little steep ($250 per person), considering it was the off season.

Summary: Just amazing!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The rooms are nice and clean. The staff was very responsive and helpful. Housekeeping was excellent. Everybody was very nice. Naturally the guests should observe the local protocols with plenty of tipping.

Negative: The food was good but not great. We went in the summer (off-peak) so perhaps they did not have enough customers to justify a wider variety of food. But it was still ok. The tours were average for the high price. We took many tours (from Viator) beforehand in Cairo and felt that we paid much less for similar tours.

Summary: Great Cruise Ship (with a fantastic staff)

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: It's cruising the Nile and visiting the Valley of the Kings and about a gazillion other places I have only dreamed about so it was always going to be awesome but the boat is magnificent and the staff (mostly) even more so. I'm vegan but don't shout about it and just accommodate but when the restaurant found out they went out of their way to provide the most delicious food I can eat. The room was way more luxurious than I expected and the bed super comfy. Housekeeping was great and room super clean. Don't ask for the Nile view, choose the shore side, you'll see more. None of the trips are included. They want you to pay $250 extra to take a guide for the 3 days but I did it without, just taking local taxis and using local guides - way cheaper and keeps the money in the towns.

Negative: Hmmm.... the price quoted on Booking.com was NOT the price I ended up paying - I ended up paying almost a £100 more but there wasn't much I could do about that. A kettle in the room would be good. I live in Egypt and quite savvy to the street hustles but got scammed by a worker from the boat who saw me on the street and said 'hi'. I only wanted directions to a pharmacy but of course i got 'guided' to his local spice shop and scammed into paying way over the odds for teas i didn't want/ need and then he asked for more baksheesh (tips) on top. Not ok. Not professional. Left a bit of a bad taste.

Summary: Probably the best trip of my life so far!

Positive: Wonderful trip with Steigenberger. The cruise is a little bit old and we didn’t get the best room. Having said that, the staff made the trip pleasant. Food was great and the view is spectacular.

Negative: Room facilities is a bit old.

Positive: - [x] We had a wonderful time on our 3 night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and it really exceeded our expectations. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable, the staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was delicious varied and plentiful. We had our own private guide and driver Salah and Mahmoud from Egypt Tailor Made who took us to all the sites Temple of Philae, KomOmbo, and Edfu, Karnak and Luxor and the Valley of the Kings etc. and a sail in a felluca at Aswan. We visited Abu Simbel the day before joining the cruise and stayed the night there which I definitely recommend, we visited in the afternoon without all the day tours so it was very quiet and we saw the Sound and Light show in the evening so had a second look at the temple exterior. It was a magical experience. Our cruise wa There is a tip box in reception for all the many staff who make this memorable, the suggested tip from previous reviews is 10 usd per traveler per day so for 5 of us and 3 days was 150 usd but was so happy with everything we did 200 usd. We also tipped a little Egyptian money to our waiter, the bag carriers and the guy who made beautiful and hilarious sculptures with our towels. I do think travelling from Aswan to Luxor was better for our group we loved finishing with the Karnak and Luxor Temples and the Valley of the Kings and more economical being 3 nights.

Negative: Nothing

Summary: Stunning trip down the Nile from Aswan to Luxor
