Very friendly staff and management. They will help with anything. Food was delicious and varied. Tipping is arranged at the end of the trip so you don’t have a “pressure” every time being served what is usually situation in Egypt.
A bit bigger sunshade umbrellas at the pool deck would be practical especially in hotter months.

the food was very good, room was clean, sun deck was nice
charging $200 extra for sightseeing (it was $35 on our own), very difficult to find the dock in Aswan. they charge $30 per person for a 20 min taxi drive, so we got our own taxi for $10 total, but it was nearly impossible to find the dock. it feels like it is left out on purpose so that you have to pay for their fares for transport. wifi never worked, also wish drinks were included.

extremely overpriced, we felt that everyone is trying to scam us and got extra money from us

Staffs were really friendly. The buffet included in the package was overall delicious with variety of options to choose from every day. I was very sceptical whether this booking is going to be like a scam, but everything turned out well.
Some info for the future guests reading my review: I booked 3 nights starting from Aswan to Luxor. The tour package is not included in the fare and costs $250 + $35 tips per person with a guide that speaks German and English recommended by the cruise. The guide took us to all the must see sights and explained the basic stuffs. Quite a lot of upselling during the tour to convince us to buy additional tours but not too pushy. Overall, I would say it is still worth having a guide as he kept us away from all the hassles on the street. Meal on the ship starts at around 6.30/13.00/19.30 and drinks are not included in the package. But drinks are priced fairly. Tips were collected centrally at the end of the trip and guest can place the tips (recommended $5 per person per night) in a mailbox which will then be distributed to the entire staffs.
Overall the ship and facility needs renovation. No slippers included in the room as the carpet is dirty and outdated. The information is not widely available online about the ships schedule, tour package, and it's docking station. Better communication about those things will gain more trust from the tourists. Depends on where your room locates, sound insulation could be an issue. Bring some earplugs with you to sleep better. Also, if your are vegan, this cruise is not for you.

The staff are friendly and helpful, they go an extra mile to make the stay as wonderful as possible.
The food is very delicious and a lot of varieties.
Nothing major, just the room TV is outdated.

We wanted to see all the places along the Nile, so we decided to do so via cruise ship (never did a cruise before).
We did the 7-day tour and as we only booked on booking.com we didn't have a dedicated tour guide that accompanied us (like other guests that booked with a tour operator), but that way we had our own private guide(s) in our language when visiting sights which was extremely nice and comfortable! Also the cruise management at the reception made sure we knew when and what was on our daily plan.
We had a nice room, enough space and the daily housekeeping did a fantastic job! We liked that you can open the big windows in your room to sit and enjoy the green river banks passing by. The bathroom was clean and big enough (remember your still on a boat).
As previous comments said, yes, it can happen that another boat is next to you but for us it was only shortly.
The food is open buffet with great quality and selection of different dietary options (dietary options not really marked but you can always ask the staff). For instance we're both vegetarian and we had more than enough options for every meal. Abdul was our waiter and so very kind!!
I'd like to highlight that every staff member on the boat was super nice and helpful!
I think you can do the 4-day itinerary too but then your days are packed. Depends on our time but for us 7-days were fine and we would choose same again.
- sundeck could be improved to be more cozy (like add some decoration/plants or so)
- carpet floors in the room could need a high performance vacuum cleaning treatment
- be aware that you stay in Luxor and Aswan for consecutive days and so don't change location every day
- be aware it's not an ecological way of transport as generators have to run 24/7

Well appointed , clean and pleasantly quiet
Hard to find dock well out of Luxor. I’d like breakfast buffet hours extended to 9am for those not going out on early morning excursions

Delighted to have chosen Steigenberger to make my Nile Cruise dream come true. Fantastic service, the staff are extremely helpful and accommodating, food has lots of variety, and the sightseeing tours are phenomenal. I would do it all over again!
The beginning of my stay was a bit off-putting because the departure dock address is inaccurate on Booking, but we were able to resolve this with the staff. Also food quality in terms of hygiene could be better and desserts could be fresher, but I've really enjoyed the variety - and given how perfect everything else was, I still had an amazing time.

All of the on-board staff is amazing, including reception, buffet and housekeeping
The admin and reservation office in cairo is not reliable. The booker Must ask for the dock the cruise is at. If you are among a tourist group, the guide will know, but if you are a solo traveller, you will find yourself without any aid, because the office in Cairo closes 5 pm. It will be a good idea if you have any mobile number of the crew. I had to ask a police member to check at which dock the cruise was. Another issue, is to check the total including taxes, as it might be out of your budget.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

I can't rate Steigenberger Legacy Nile Cruise highly enough! The boat has an old world charm to it, the decor is beautiful and classy. Food was to die for and there was so much of it! The staff was just great, from the lovely waiters who got to know our preferred drinks to the cleaners who made a new funky design with our towels. The tours organised by the cruise people were really good value too.
The booking process was clunky and we never got a proper address or timeframe for check in which made us quite stressed walking by the water with our luggage asking everyone worrying we would miss the boat. The tour extra costs were never properly explained either, they ended up being great tours and value, but it would have been nice to have been sent the information properly prior.
There was no heating in the rooms either, and it was quite cold at night in January.
