The staff is very nice and caring. The food had a good variety, quantity and was good. They gave a particular attention to presentation in general, for example, animal shaped towels when they cleaned the room or the desert mountain at the buffet. They gave us some nice perks for our 7 days stay like a breakfast on a felucca and dinner on the sundeck with a romantic ambiance. The standard room was a good size and was functional. The guide they provided for the tour package was helpful and knowledgeable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cruise to our friends.

All I can say is WOW! We came on our honeymoon and got upgraded to a suit. The staff went above and beyond for us and made our stay one of the best in Egypt. From arrival to leaving everyone was super nice and assisted in anything you needed. Food was great couldn’t have been any better as we even got a private dinner on top deck and a private breakfast on a Egyptian boat before leaving. Thank you to all the staff we really appreciated everything. Lots of love from Canada and Malta 🫶🏼

Nice boat - old but well kept. We had one of the 2 fancy suites up the front and it was nice and spacious. Food was nice overall, though we picked up a 24 hour bug on day 1 ( suspected from the salad bar - avoid things washed in tap water in Egypt ! ). It's buffet almost all the time with an exception of the last evening where the booking.com guest get a roof top private dinner. Team on board were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of. Overall, the boat experience and team were great - the issues we had were mostly related to the booking itself which are detailed below. We had a great guide, Hani, who brought us around and went the extra mile in keeping us safe and educated - lovely guy.

The key highlight of the cruise is our Egyptologist Mohamed (Zezu) who has brought color to the history at each site. I also enjoyed the private top deck dinner offered to us which came as a pleasant surprise! Food was great on board and cabin was clean and tidy. Bed was also very spacious. Pool area is also very good and pool is deep enough to swim in. We also had a massage on the ship which was very relaxing!

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.

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! :)
