TIA Boutique Nile Cruise - Accommodation Only - Every Monday from Luxor for 04 & 07 Nights - Every Friday From Aswan for 03 & 07 Nights

General experience: • Nile cruise is a great, easy way to explore Egypt’s main sites. Provides a more smooth experience by cruise since it’s a rough country to visit. I’ve visited 60+ countries and it’s somewhere at the bottom. • Don’t overspend on luxury, you wake up around 4 a.m. and spend most time sightseeing before the sites get super busy. • Ship mainly used for meals and rest. • Room was simple, clean and comfortable enough. • Staff was helpful and organized, waiting staff cut fresh ginger carefully when I had a sore throat. Reception employee made sure to call me for lunch or before early morning tours, attentive! • Older kitchen staff were friendly and upbeat, made a nice pasta arabiata. • Waiting staff attentive and accomodating; cleaning staff quiet and fast. • Food was allright. Drink bottled water (also for brushing teeth). Sightseeing: • Historical sites were beautiful and very impressive. • Having an organized guide, driver, and a breakfast box I could take with early morning tours helped a lot. • Evening belly dancer show on the ship was fun and beautiful

• Poor internet: Wi-Fi on the ship and in many areas is non-existent or unreliable. Buy an unlimited eSIM through the Airalo app before arriving in Egypt, it makes a huge difference. • Sites around temples are quite dirty, hassling and haggling can be exhausting. But that’s in general. • Excursions not included: All guided site tours cost extra (around $400 USD) upon arrival. Abu Simbel is not included either. • First arranged guide was poor: gave limited info, and tried cross-selling overpriced tours (e.g., Abu Simbel for $300 USD). • Better value found independently: Booked the same Abu Simbel trip via TripAdvisor for less than half the price. • Repeated questions from multiple staff members where my “husband/boyfriend” was (including the first question when I arrived on the boat) staff sometimes stared and chuckled, felt unprofessional. People seemed quite confused both at checking in and checking out, poor English of the guy at checking out. After 20 minutes it turned out he had not called a driver yet, since he didn’t understand my question. • Noise issues: Very thin cabin walls, loud voices and shouting at night (especially around 3–4 a.m. in Arabic when we were sailing that night) disturbed sleep. • Big on tipping culture: requests for tips from staff, drivers, and guides, even after tipping at reception. • Several staff members asked for a 10 star review, which felt forced. To ask for a review is perfectly fine, but don’t dictate what somebody should rate. • Due to above, realistically three stars in service quality by Western standards, as for Egyptian standards probably higher.

The cruise ship was modern comfortable and clean.

Entertainment could be improved. Non transparent about tours and overpriced

Que dire.. tellement tout était Parfait. Prise en charge a nôtre hôtel a Luxor par Mr Izaac qui nous a tout expliqué jusqu'au bateau le Tia. Tout le personnel d'une extrême gentillesse, souriant, attentionné et serviable a toute heure. Des buffets digne de grand hôtel..énormément de choix avec produits de qualités..des jus frais karkadé, goyave ou mangue a tomber 😋 Belle chambre conforme aux photos..Spacieuse avec son petit salon, et baie vitrée qui s'ouvre. Merci encore a Ahmed pour l'entretien de celles-ci et de découvrir de jolie décorations sur le lit. Merci a Mr Mohamed le Directeur pour son accueil et sa bienveillance.. mais chut 🤫

The cruise was beautiful, relaxing, and perfectly organized. Staff were kind, attentive, and made every moment enjoyable. The rooftop deck and Nile views were unforgettable. The food is amazing & the managers were so attentive and helpful.

We would like to have a little more time on some stops but everything else was incredible, this is the best ship on the Nile.

Una crociera che concilia perfettamente la cultura con il relax. Tutto lo staff gentilissimo e disponibile, guide preparate e competenti, la cucina sempre varia e davvero deliziosa!

Osoblje je bilo jako uslužno i od pomoći. Uvijek nasmijani i paze na detalje. Hranom smo jako pozitivno iznenađeni, veoma raznoliko i ukusno. Vratili bismo se ponovno.

The boat, the staff, the food all exceptional.

Passeio fantástico e imperdível se você vai ao Egito! O navio não é grande, mas é muito confortável e o staff impecável! A cabine é super espaçosa e limpa (como todas as instalações do navio), com chuveiro excelente e box grande, janelas amplas com vista pro Nilo e cama muito confortável. O barco conta com um lobby bar agradável, uma pequena piscina com espreguiçadeiras e um amplo solarium, com bastante espaço para que os passageiros possam aproveitar o sol. O restaurante é muito bom, sempre com diferentes alternativas que permitem a todos os diferentes paladares ter ótimas refeições. O serviço na piscina, restaurante, bar e o cuidado com a arrumação dos quartos são ótimos, sempre com competência e cortesia. Além de tudo isso e de nos buscar no hotel em Luxor e nos levar ao aeroporto após o último dia, ainda permitiram que pudéssemos esperar confortavelmente no navio durante o final do nosso último passeio (15:00 hs) e o horário de saída para o aeroporto (18:30 hs), ou seja, um SUPER late checkout! Nosso guia Mohamed também era ótimo, proativo e atencioso. Fizemos o Cruzeiro de 4 noites em julho, a ocupação do navio estava bem baixa, o que aumentou ainda mais o conforto. Recomendo de olhos fechados esse navio, serão dias tranquilos e divertidos, com muita história e visitas incríveis a cada parada!

Não há nada de fato que eu não tenha gostado, mas 2 sugestões de melhoria que me parecem importantes: (1) a academia é muito pequena, na verdade uma saletinha com uma esteira e alguns poucos pesos. Seria interessante algo um pouco maior para estimular o uso. (2) O pessoal do spa destoa dos demais funcionários (que são incríveis!). São chatos, insistentes, provocam constrangimento e irritação por insistir mais de uma vez por dia que você faça algum tratamento, da mesma forma que se comportam os vendedores de rua. Super tranquilo que possam apresentar seu serviço e tentar vendê-lo, mas no segundo dia já haviam irritado a nossa família e alguns outros hóspedes com sua insistência e irritação.

Housekeeping, cooking, restaurant and bar teams are very kind and the food is tasty : All great !
