Alma Nile Cruise - 4/7 Luxor (Sat) & 3/7 Aswan (Wed)

I loved the ship’s modern vibe, the crew were friendly, and the dining was amazing. The second half of my 7‑day tour felt like déjà vu, which isn’t a flaw but was less exciting, so I’d suggest shorter tours.

“Good”

The food was good overall and the service nice, but we lingered too long in Aswan where there’s little to see and then rushed through the other beautiful temples either early morning or late evening. The time was distributed very poorly.

“Good experience - although overpriced”

The cruise was fine – check‑in was quick, the room was clean and cleaned daily. The best part was the sundeck. I think it was overpriced; the food was mediocre at best. They advertised Full Board, yet we had to pay for water and any other beverage during meals, which felt unnecessarily cheap. We checked in ourselves and the boat was hard to find even with coordinates; a local’s help was essential. Make sure to be picked up by the cruise. The “complete sightseeing package” was also overpriced and offered no discounts for children.

“An excellent Nile cruise with outstanding staff, memorable food, and beautiful views”

This cruise is very well designed with ample space, letting guests relax in different areas of the ship. Even during the Christmas peak season it never felt overcrowded. The deck space is excellent, and the views—especially while sailing and during sunset—were simply stunning. The staff are well trained, attentive, and eager to help, often going beyond expectations. The Christmas celebration was grand, reflected in the impressive variety of pastries and desserts prepared by the chef. Overall, the team did everything possible to ensure guests walked away with lasting, positive memories. Two experiences deserve special mention: 1️⃣ Room Cleaning Staff The housekeeping staff member was incredibly creative, crafting beautiful towel art and playful creatures every day. It became a daily delight for our child and added a lot of joy to our stay. His artistry was truly exceptional (photos attached). 2️⃣ The Main Chef Once the chef learned about our preference for Indian vegetarian food, he went out of his way to prepare authentic, delicious dishes—at least one Indian veg option during both lunch and dinner, including daal, rice, and pulao. His food genuinely carried the magic of Indian flavors, and we felt completely spoiled. Initially, during check‑in, the ship felt a bit gaudy and overly shiny, but the staff, food, and views quickly transformed this into an overwhelmingly positive experience. I would strongly recommend booking this cruise, as it offers pay‑at‑property and flexible cancellation. Local agents (based on my experience) demanded full upfront payment. We also got a special family dinner on the last day at the deck, as a complimentary upgrade. Alma Nile Cruise management—great job. Keep rocking! The actual sailing time felt a bit short, with the ship docked for long periods in Aswan and Luxor. It would be helpful to have recorded announcements highlighting important locations during sailing, such as: “We are now passing the Aswan Lock Gate—please proceed to the top deck to witness the change in water levels.” Clearer communication during booking about excursions would also be beneficial. For first‑time guests: the cruise price includes accommodation and meals only. Excursions to sites like Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor temples require separate guides and transport, which are not part of the base cruise fare.

“Truly comfortable and happy stay.”

Super clean, friendly and helpful staff, a clean and comfortable room, and a very beautiful deck with awesome sunsets and sunrises from the deck. It would have been better if you could provide high‑speed Wi‑Fi on board.
