Once in a lifetime cruise on the Nile.

We had a really excellent trip along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan. The room was fantastic with great space and views of the river. When arrived we had a welcome gift of fruit and a free mini bar from the boat company which was very much appreciated as we were able to take drinks with us on our tours of the temples throughout the stay. Each day the room was serviced and we were left a little treat like chocolate or a snack, again this was a very lovely thought. The food onboard was delicious and there was plenty of choice. The chef, sorry we can’t remember your name, was such a nice guy and so professional. Food and hygiene standards were very high and the salad bar was excellent. Each meal time we were greeter by Mahmood who took good care of us. Karim who is the restaurant manager is outstanding in his customer service and guest hospitality. He’s a really lovely gentleman with a lovely smile who greeted us each day. The boat is well maintained and has a sun deck where you can chill for the sailing part of the cruise with a good book. We booked the sightseeing tour for the cruise which was superb. Hanny our guide was an absolute star, always looking out for our well-being and discussing arrangements with the boat. He’s a really lovely chap with exceptional knowledge and we enjoyed our visits with him. He really made the trip special. The last thank you goes to the rest of the crew and the boat manager who took great care of us. Thank you all for a lovely trip.

You need to know that by booking through booking. .com you are not booking directly with the boat but through an agent. The agents communication is not great and they don’t tell you timings or give you any information before 24 hours before you board. This meant we didn’t know when we should book flights and ended up costing us more money on an overnight stay in Aswan and Luxor, which wasn’t necessary. The agent is bad at responding to messages and confirming details. The boat would be better dealing direct with customers and cutting them out for the benefit of their guests. The agents did organise the tour guide, Hany, who was superb but again we didn’t get any details of the tour till the very last minute for the agent. Thankfully when we met Hanny none of the poor communication from the tour company was an issue any more.

Best Nile Cruise!

Best Nile Cruise! I Highly recommend this experience. We booked the cruise by booking.com and sightseeings direct with the cruise agent. We were very worried about this trip as we did not have a lot of information regarding destiny, but now we are back home we can tell EVERYTHING was beyond our expectations. The ship is beautiful, all the staff is worried to provide their best. We had an upgrade to a suite including bathub and additional services and received a lot of details every day including a romantic dinner in top deck! Food was exquisite, I am vegetarian and the Cheff prepared some dishes specially for me. Also Important to say is that sightseeings were with highly experienced tourist guides! Special thanks to Ship Manager, Maitre and Cheff (I'm so sorry I lost my notes where I had pointed their names) and also for tourist Guides Tony Adel and Salma Khairt.

Nothing to complain about! I Highly recommend Esmeralda and hope to have the opportunity to go back soon.

Chef Ahmed made delicious food for us everyday, Mr. Kareem, the restaurant manager was very attentive and arranged for a special anniversary dinner. Cleaning staff made our room with nice decoration from bathroom towels. We loved every minute on this ship and will be back.

Wonderful, Fantastic, 10-Stars, everytime again, very happy.

Our stay at the M/S Esmeralda Nile Cruise was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed it very much! It was so much better than our expectations. The Service was fantastic. The Crew welcomed us like good friends and where very helpful and kind. They also called us before the ship moved on to the next location, to get sure that we are on board. Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea/Coffee and Dinner was great, very good locale and international cuisine. The Chefs did a excellent job and more. There was also a opportunity to get a breakfast on a nice little Feluka on the Nile organized by the ship management for us :) At the last day we did a magical Candlelight dinner in front of the Karnak temple in Luxor. We are very happy to got this memorable experience. Thank you very much! :)

We spent a lovely time on the cruise

The staff was very friendly and driven towards customer satisfaction. We constantly received surprises during our stay to keep us engaged. Multiple food cuisines.

The decor can be worked on, it is slightly old and shabby. Limited Internet during the stay.

Great experience

We had an excellent time on board of the Esmeralda Cruise, great staff, delicious food, spacious rooms. The staff are very helpful, friendly and always smiling. Every evening they had entertainment for us, we really appreciated the birthday cake, they sang , danced. If you are interested in a private romantic dinner or a private breakfast in a felucca they will organize it for you. So dont hesitate they will make their best for you to have the best time ever. We left with lots of beautiful memories that will last forever. Thank you Esmeralda.

Under my expectations

Convenient for visiting temples and cities along the Nile river

Food quality is very bad, always the same things but with different ingredients. You can only have the or coffee at breakfast (looks like cappuccino is a mystery for them). Drinks are not included but at least one bottle of water would have been appreciated. If you agree to the sightseeing package be ready to tip all the drivers for each visit you do (you’re forced to). Overall experience was bad, under my expectations.

We would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to see a lot of Egypt in a short time.

Staff was wonderful. The food was great! We loved the food on Egyptian night.

All on board activities were after dinner. Some things should happen prior to dinner. Games?

Our stay was beyond perfect!! We were on our honeymoon and management did a lot of nice and lovely gestures, and we are really gratefull. Rooms are really nice, nicely furnished, bed is super comfortable and in room is big window next to the bed..so during the sail you can lay on your bed and enjoy the ride 😁 Food.. Woooow, its amazing. They have the best Chef, food was beyond all expectations, everynight there was different themed dinner, and to be honest it was PERFECT!! If you love to eat, love to enjoy taste and you are familiar with egyptian food.. You will love it! We want to say big thanks to Anour, our housekeeper and his collegues, he/they made us laugh by multiple occasions by preparing our room every day different with towel decorations and dancing show in our room 😁😁 All managers of the Cruise were also great, kind and professional!!

Exceptional

This was our first river cruise and it exceeded all our expectations. I went with my husband and two children 10 and 12 y. We booked two rooms.. the rooms were beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, spacious room with a breath taking view of the blue nile river via a large window. The in suite bathroom was clean and good sized. the restaurant had a different theme every day and different meals. Food was fresh and tasty. don’t miss the sunset on the sun deck . The cruise stops at various historical sites every day and allows enough time to get around the place. We loved meeting another families with children, our kids had a blast socialising and learning about the incredible ancient Egyptian civilisation . There was lots of activity every day including a cooking class. The crew including The Manager Ahmad, the waiters, cheff and room service staff were friendly and dedicated. They made sure that all guests are comfortable and enjoying the trip.

Skip the cruise and stay in nice hotels in Luxor and Aswan

Staff is very nice and hard working. They decorated our son's room for his birthday and made a cake for dinner plus lots of staff sining and dancing. Rooms and bathroom are big and nice, plus beds are comfortable.

Per our local guide, the cruise is rated #21 out of 120+ ships on the Nile. That being said, the price of $1,000 a person during Christmas week seemed very expensive for what you get. Food on cruise is very bad and repetitive. Most of the cruise you are tied up in port and what's worse, is you are tied up to other boats so you can't see you the windows, so the rooms seem like interior cabins. Entertainment is bad and little to do in board.
