Question by mstess: Has anyone been on a Nile River cruise?
we are doing a 4 day cruise as a portion of our trip to Egypt. Just wondering what to expect. As of right now, I have no idea what ship the tour is using. All it says is a first class ship.
Best answer:
Answer by ConansOwner
Yes. Went on an all inclusive tour in 2007 We flew from Cairo to Aswan to board the ship. We cruised north to Luxor. Several ports along the way. We went in early March but it was very hot nevertheless. Most of the outings were early in the day & back to the air conditioned ship by 10 or 11. Our Luxor tour also went back out at sunset to visit temples. Our food was excellent. Accommodations were small but it was adequate.

Jan. 26, 2008 Original post date on www.happyslip.com Thanks so much for all your feedback on my posts about the Philippines. Along this trip, I will be posting short snippets of video just so you can have a sneak peek into the bigger documentary I will be working on when the trip is over. I want to be able to take all the footage and edit in all the best details for you. This particular sneak peek is just of me enjoying the Loboc River Cruise where lunch was served on a floating wooden raft of sorts. Off to tour some more – so I made a quick stop to an internet cafe to post this.
