    Nile Cruise

    March 2023 Royal Esadora The Classic Holidays and Orbital Travel service was first class and I agree with a previous review about Addi, the food and that it's best to avoid the drinks-inclusive package. We are not heavy drinkers but still went for this package as we thought it might help us get more easily served. How wrong we were! It might be better to pick a different boat anyway, as the Esadora's crew's attitudes to their guests and to service generally was very mixed and the boat always moored far away from anywhere you would want to be.

    Cairo & Nile Cruise via Classic Holidays

    1 week Nile cruise booked through Classic Holidays with 3 nights in Cairo beforehand. Overall, definitely value for money & recommended as an excellent trip. Couple of top tips: - don’t take £1 or €1 coins to use as tips. The Egyptians can’t change coins. Best way to tip is using US $1 bills or local currency which you can withdraw from an ATM of which there are plenty! - Be aware if you have booked an excursion to the Pyramids via Classic holidays; the price only included entry to the site of the pyramids. There is an extra cost to go inside the pyramids & to be taken via horse & cart to the extreme of the site for a decent photo opportunity. I wouldn’t recommend the horse & cart as the horses are not treated well at all. Otherwise the info from Classic holidays was spot on and all excursions & transfers worked as expected. The Cruise: MS Royal Esadora is a decent boat. It’s not as smart as some of the others but it was spotless, with decent cabins & good facilities. Classic Holidays use Orbital Travel to look after you on the cruise & we lucked out with our tour guide Ahmed. Exceptionally knowledgable, he proved an excellent guide & really helped make every excursion engaging. Unless you’re planning to drink yourselves silly every night (there’s little opportunity to do so in reality) I don’t think it’s worth paying for the drinks package. It’s doubtful you’ll drink enough to warrant it. Prices of on board drinks are pretty reasonable. Be aware that most excursions start early morning (6am wake up calls). This is necessary as the afternoon sun gets extremely hot so they try & get you back to the boat for lunch. All the temples were unique in their own way & as the week went on increasingly awesome! There are optional excursions; we did 3. Coach trip to Abu Simbel involves a long drive through the desert with a very early start but is absolutely worth doing. The Sound & Light show at Philae Temple was a nice experience but grossly overpriced. High tea at the Old Cataract Hotel in Awsan was pure joy & well worth doing. Food onboard the boat is buffet style. It’s as you’d expect; a mixed bag and a tad repetitive but with some excellent salads. Staff on board generally very polite & helpful. We can definitely recommend the onboard masseur. She was excellent!!

    Nile cruise and Cairo stay

    just returned from a 7 day Nile cruise on the Royal Esadora,, the holiday was excellent, the boat and crew were very good, apart from the food which we would say was satisfactory, the excursions were great and the tour guide Addy was vert good, we booked the holiday through Classic Holidays, with 3 nights in Cairo prior to cruise, everything was very well organised, all tranfers and tips were included. do not buy the drinks package on the boat unless you are a heavy drinker, the beer was £4,50 for a large bottle 500ml, for a good wine was £18 bottle, our bill at the end of the was £138 for the two of us.

    Water Dance on the Nile

    I had no idea there are more than 300 cruise ships on the Nile! It is a sophisticated boat dance on water. Wow! This industry is organized to fill the ships and has no concern for the affects at the temple sites! There is no concern to allow for an enjoyable visit. Just get passengers to the point of interest and get them back. Edfu was a nightmare at the ticket booth. I had a ticket in advance and still could not get to the entrance for the crowd pushing and shoving. It was close to being dangerous. Foe a moment I thought Elvis and all four Beatles were giving a concert at 6 in the morning. The ship was good standard and fare. Parking them five deep and walking through all the other ships to get to shore was confusing and unnecessary.

    Great memorable trip

    Travelled with Classic Holidays for a 7 night Nile cruise. Had a great week and met some great people on the boat. The staff were brilliant. Our cabin was bigger than expected and very clean. The food on the boat was OK. The salads were very good. They told a member of our group that they wash the salad in sterilised water. No-one in our group had a bad stomach!! The WiFi onboard is unreliable even when docked. Our tour guide (Adel) was excellent, very knowledgeable and amusing. The trips were memorable, especially the (very early) trip across the Sahara to Abu Simbel. The excursions were well planned and organised. We did extra excursions which were good. The only one I wasn't that impressed with was the High Tea at the Old Cataract Hotel. The hotel is beautiful and well worth a visit but the tea was pretty unimpressive. It was sold as a tea as good as the Ritz (sorry Adel, it isn't). No complaints at all, thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. I would advise anyone with mobility issues that the trips include some very uneven, rough terrain. Just a warning.

    Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $975 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 Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan 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 Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan 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 Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan?

    +

    Around 7 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 Book Standard Nile Cruise 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan 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.
