Massage with Salma
IWe had a wonderful time. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly! The massage I booked with Salma was also brilliant. She has magic hands. What a fantastic experience! My daughter was also absolutely delighted with Salma’s massage!!

Put the staff on a new boat and you have the right combination
The staff is very attentive and friendly, the food is of good quality, the service couldn't be better. But the boat itself is totally worn out. In my room I could not walk around with bare feet because within 5 minutes they were black there is only dry cleaned.Sorry really dirty

Excellent cruise well worth the money.
The cruise was wonderful. We booked with Egypt Tours Travel and Marawan organised not only the cruise but the guides and transfers for a very reasonable price. The guides were very knowledgeable and the sites were mesmerising. The Acamar cruise was a polished boat. Everything was clean and thoughtfully decorated. The food was exceptional and the staff were very friendly, polite and attentive. I’d definitely choose Acamar again and book with Egypt tours travel.

Everything perfect, trip of our dreams
In June, we spent four amazing days aboard the Acamar cruise ship, sailing on the Nile River from Luxor to Aswan, and we couldn’t be happier. Everything was perfect, exceeding our expectations in every aspect. The staff was very friendly. 🚢The boat: a comfortable and elegant place. The Acamar is a high-quality cruise ship, elegant but welcoming, with a quiet and friendly atmosphere. Our room was magnificent: spacious, bright, with large windows from where we saw the Nile until we fell asleep, with very comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. Cleanliness was impeccable, and room service was excellent. 🍽️First class food. The food on board was delicious, varied and high quality. We don't get sick! Everything was excellent. Every day we enjoy a different buffet, with options of traditional Egyptian food and international dishes. The ingredients were fresh and the presentation was careful. We especially highlight desserts, entrees and bread. The staff in the dining room were very friendly, always smiling and being friendly. 🧼Cleaning and service. The cleanliness of the whole boat was excellent, with continuous attention to the cleanliness of the common areas and manicured in all spaces. The staff was professional, warm and very well organized. 🏺Excursions: living history with an exceptional guide named Aladdin. However, what really made this trip unforgettable was our guide Aladdin, from the Galaxy agency. His deep knowledge, love of Egyptian history and human warmth allowed us to see every temple and every place from a new perspective. Thanks to him, places like Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and the Philae temple became alive for us. He was always willing to answer questions, adapt to the rhythm of the group and had a great talent for storytelling.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Acamar Nile Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Acamar Nile Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $1,500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Acamar Nile Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Acamar Nile Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Acamar Nile Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Acamar Nile Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Acamar Nile Cruise?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Acamar Nile Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Acamar Nile Cruise?
+
Included: Meet and assist service upon arrival & departure; Pick up and drop off by air conditioning; All transfers by Private A-C vehicles with qualified driver (s); Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Gratuities; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Acamar Nile Cruise include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Acamar Nile Cruise offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Acamar Nile Cruise?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Acamar Nile Cruise if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Luxor. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
