This cruise and the assistance/constant support from the team made this trip remarkable. I had many doubts prior to starting the cruise - the condition of the boat, the sailing experience, the hospitality etc. and from the very beginning, all my concerns were reassured. We were picked up by Omar and the driver in an air conditioned van and although our first day didn't go as planned, as the cruise was delayed, they accommodated for us and took time out of their day to fill the gap in our itinerary. They gave us extra tours and guided us to local areas to do some shopping and exchange money. Omar was such a bubbly character and he constantly made us feel welcomed and had us enjoy our time with him in Luxor. Once we finally checked in to the cruise, the hospitality had exceeded our expectations, as did the condition of the boat. Well air conditioned in the 40+ heat, great pool and sky deck area. We could easily communicate with the staff to meet our expectations on the ship and had breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets with a delicious variety available every day. Our sailing was smooth and mostly on time and in between had stop overs like edfu and kom ombo with knowledgable tour guides who were ready to meet us at the lobby and happy to show us around/answer our questions. Our rooms were kept clean and well air conditioned, although a little small. Our itinerary didn't go quite as planned as we had to leave the last day, but Omar was easy to contact and arrange a drop off to the airport. We had so much fun in between and took a dive in to ancient Egypt seeing the beautiful history come alive across many different temples and sites. Overall, a smooth and memorable trip that we would highly to all our family and friends.
