"Great cruise, but do not use this booking agent"

2.0

The cruise ship is great, especially the staff. It’s very clean, good food and accommodation. The problem was this booking agent. We didn’t receive information on where to board the ship in Aswan despite contacting them in the platform and by phone.

We didn’t receive any information about where to board the cruise ship through this agent. Better to book directly. We incurred additional costs as we had to book alternative accommodation in case this reservation was not valid.

"Ich war von 25 Jahren mal, da war es nicht anders, also in der Zeit stehen geblieben"

5.0

Jeder der hier Individual Reisen möchte, ist hier fasch. Es wird hier alles nur nach dem Programm des Reiseveranstalters geregelt. Abfahrt, Zeitplan, Frühstück, Mittagessen einfach alles. Was bedeutet, wenn man allein gehen möchte hat man entweder keine Zeit dafür, da die Reisegruppe nur eine Stunde Aufenthalt hat, oder wenn die Reisegruppe frühzeitig das Schiff verlässt, ist das Frühstück schon teileweise um 6 Uhr ist, länger ausschlafen geht nicht, da es ansonsten kein Frühstück gibt. Also einen eigenen Reiseführer zu Buchen ist fast unmöglich!!! Also jeder der Gruppenausflüge mag und nicht mehr von der großartigen Geschichte Ägypten wissen möchte ist hier gut aufgehoben, man muss sich dann halt nur nach dem Schiff richten.

Sprachliches Personal, kein Deutsch und auch nur sehr schwer Englisch, da nur das Nötigste!!! Fitnessraum, 3 Geräte am Sonnendeck hinter der Bar. Besser lieber nicht hineinschreiben, kommt besser an. Und Balkone gab es keinen, Grosses Fenster zu öffnen. Und dann liegen aber noch ein paar Schiffe davor, so das man von der Ausicht so wie so nichts hat. Das gehört aber auch bei eine Nil Kruezfahrt dazu, da alle Schiffe immer neben einander stehen bleiben und man geht durch jedes davorliegende Schiff

"In Zukunft würde ich die Reise eher von Assuan nach Luxor in 3 Tagen machen. Insgesamt war es schön, aber man sollte nic"

8.0

Hatten bei der Fahrt von Luxor nach Assuan eine Kabine rechts außen, was von der Aussicht her besser ist. Kabinen sind ausreichend groß und die Fenster lassen sich öffnen. Das Personal im Restaurant und Zimmerservice ist sehr zuvorkommend.

Von 4 Tagen wird nur 2 Tage gefahren. In Luxor hatten wir ein Schiff mit lautem und stinkendem Dieselmotor die ganze Nacht neben uns. Das Personal an der Rezeption war mäßig freundlich. Am 1. Tag wurde angefragt, wer Nahrungsmittelallergien hat oder Vegetarier ist. Es gab dann aber während der vier Tage keine Information zu den Gerichten am Bufet, z.B. was vegetarisch ist.

"Exceptional"

10.0

Everything exceeded expectations - the food was absolutely delicious and varied every single day, with generous buffets and excellent quality. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The entire atmosphere onboard felt welcoming, well-organized, and very comfortable.

During the stops for the tours, some private guides tend to take guests to the same shops repeatedly, clearly partnered with them to sell products. The first visits can be interesting for seeing local crafts, but after a while it becomes repetitive and a bit tiring.

"Luxus auf dem Nil"

10.0

Das beste an der Kreuzfahrt ist das Personal und das Buffet

Die Abendunterhaltung könnte besser sein.
