Nile cruises
Any advice on Nile
cruises? We would like to go four- or five-star but
have read that standards vary.

* Firstly, all the Nile cruises have to be five-star, and this award is handed
out more or less automatically - this is why standards vary. The best way to
judge a ship is to hop on and ask to have a look at a room or two, but one can
definitely judge a ship by its entrance hall. Otherwise find a reputable travel
agent and get him to do the dealing for you. I have used Headings

, based in Cairo, but with excellent contacts
throughout Egypt.
Booking a cruise from a UK-based company would be unnecessary and much more
expensive.
Finally, can I recommend forgetting the whole idea of five-star treatment and
go for a felucca instead? Taking a cruise you miss out on everything but the
superficial side of Egypt.
Sailing along the Nile on a felucca can be the
most relaxing, beautiful experience of your holiday, but on a cruise with 200 other
tourists it will just be another hotel in another hot country.

* We went with Kuoni on the
cruise ship "Nile Romance" two years ago and had a fantastic time.
From the outside the ship looked a little tired but inside it was a good four-star
with a spacious room and large windows. The staff and food were amazing. My
companion is a vegetarian and used to pathetic vegetarian options when abroad,
but was continually pleased with the food. Some of the other ships we passed
looked more luxurious whilst others appeared shabby. We didn't feel we were
missing out on anything better. The tours included were of a high standard.
We combined our cruise with four nights in Luxor and three nights in Cairo. I'd thoroughly recommend travelling with Kuoni or their
sister company Voyages Jules Verne who offer slightly cheaper tours and
holidays (just returned from an excellent tour to Sri Lanka with VJV).
Hope this helps.

* Yes, standards do vary. We have seen a wide range of ships from the tatty,
through the ornate to the ordinary and the excellent. A successful Nile cruise
requires a combination of a five-star hotel, management and staff, a first
class cruise ship, captain and crew, a well-thought out tour itinerary that
avoids the crowds, and with an intelligent and knowledgeable Egyptologist/tour
leader.
We found all of these during our cruise on the MS SunRay
when we went with Kuoni in January. Spotlessly clean and excellent food. You will also find that
wherever you go, the Egyptian people are genuinely friendly!
