Steigenberger Minerva Nile Cruise - Every Thursday from Luxor for 07 & 04 Nights - Every Monday From Aswan for 03 Nights

Great team, really they care about everything, great accommodation.

There is some intransparency on the sightseeings-tours, especially on times and pricing. The cruise team is very helpful, but the tours itself are organized by partner organization. The schedule is more oriented on the traffic on Nil then on the sightseeing.

We moved comfortable from Aswan to Luxor with good food and kind staff. The cruise is overpriced for a country like Egypt (and you still have to tip the staff) but we choose for a conveniënt way of travel. As we booked the cruise via booking.com we had to pay an extra $250 per person for the tours. The tours were well arranged and we had good guides. If you take some extra time in Aswan and Luxor, you can do the tours by yourself. To visit Kom Ombo Temple it is just a 10 m walk from the boot to the temple and in Edfu you can take een horse carriage as the other guests did. We had pre-arranged taxis in Edfu what made me happy as I do not like the way the horses are treated.

Check every day the time your tour will leave as this may be different from the emailed schedule!

nothing

the front office manager was deflecting. we were not even put on minerva and at the last moment shifted to royale.

Staff was amazing and super helpful, food was amazing, cruise is nice

Our tour guide for the first part of the trip wasn't professional

Breakfast was fair restaurant was pleasant. Overall food was not very good. Chicken dry and beef very tough. Traditional food was overall good

I was upset that the cruise description was very confusing. One could assume that visiting the sites described were included in the cruise. Nowhere it was mentioned that you had to pay $250 per person more. I complained to the cruise line but didn’t got an answer

Served a great breakfast, lunch and dinner with many food varieties and chef Sayed was extremely helpful to the extend to cock additional type of food if it has been asked. The staff was very wonderful and catered to my every need.

Bathroom needs upgrading. Remove bath and just have a shower with a better functioning shower head

The cruise is a comfortable, makes for a pleasant experience of the Nile, the towns along the river bank are a highlight. The food for the three meals was excellent and the staff very friendly. There is punctuality for all activities that are in the program for the day.

We booked the Cruise privately, and to our surprise, the visits (not only the atractions fees) are NOT included in the price of the trip. So, the visits announced in the Cruise advertisement cost an extra and very expensive fee (includes guide, transportation and tickets for the atractions), around four times the price one would pay for a day tour booked privately. But then, the tours must follow the boat schedule with its boarding times, what makes it quite difficult, for someone first traveling to Egypt, to have all tours arranged in advance. So be prepared if you are not booking the cruise through a travel agency! There was no wifi available on the boat.
