    Just got home after a week on the Royal Rhapsody followed by another in Cairo/Petra/Sharm. The boat was excellent and the crew genuinely cared and did all they could to make our trip enjoyable. I'd echo the previous comments about the tour manager - she was a delightful lady who was really on the ball. If you're considering a trip on the RR, go for it. You'll have the time of your life.

    The first week of The Golden Nile cruise is spent on The Royal Rhapsody or one of its sister boats, the second week was split into 4 nights on the Prince Abbas (Lake Nasser) and 3 nights in Cairo (Semiramis Intercontinental). Anyone staying on The Royal Rhapsody will be looked after to the highest standard. The food served at breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent - I cannot praise the chefs enough. Choice was out of this world and the staff could not do enough for us. The food and staff ...

    Didn't appreciate having to get up at 4.45am on several mornings to leave the boat at 6am. The description in the brochure "an early morning start" should have been made clear.Also the curtains in the cabins were FILTHY and the lampshades above the beds were dusty and yellow with age.This, to me, does not fulfill Thomas Cook's description of "Accommodation is of a very high standard" If you are going on "The Golden Nile" 15 day holiday, be prepared for lots of early starts and not much time for ...

    This was a small boat so you got to know every one including the staff, who I have to say were really friendly and helpful. Food was ok'ish they served us food most of the time as a set menu. It says that it is 5* unfortunately I have to disagree with them there, to me it was only a 3* certainly not as grand as some we saw there and walked through. Also there was no entertainment which was a bit of a let down, we had one night where we all dressed up and played silly games but that was it very d ...

    My Daughter and I went on a Thomas Cook Signature holiday, we went on the Nile Discovery cruise for 7 nights ( Royal Rhapsody) the boat's crew did all they could to be helpful and make the holiday special, the facilities, our guide and excursions were also excellent. We went onto Cairo and Sharm El Sheik which I would also highly recommend. This holiday really was an experience not to be missed and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Ancient Egypt.

    I'm often suspicious when something gets top ratings from everyone but this cruise deserves such praise. The boat was slightly smaller than I'd imagined but you quickly realise this is an advantage, fostering a cosy atmosphere and allowing you to get to know all the staff and other passengers. The food, (especially the pastries) was excellent, and this is coming from a fussy, semi-vegetarian. Trips onshore usually start very early in the morning but it's worth it to beat the crowds of tourists a ...

    My 2 friends and I did this trip in November 2002....absolutely fabulous. Our Egyptologist Sonia was fantastic and so were all the staff and crew. Our travelling shipmates were a diverse bunch of people and we all got on so well that we made good friends who we continue to meet up with even now. Would recommend this trip without reservation.

    We arrived at Luxor airport quite late, around 10pm, took a short coach ride to the boat expecting to be shown to our cabin and go to bed. When we arrived the crew were all on hand and had prepared dinner for us. It was lovely, all the food was of a high standard and remained so through the week. I especially enjoyed the fresh pastries! Early mornings, amazing trips nearly everyday if that's what you were after, smiling, friendly and amusing crew waiting for your return with hot towels and drink ...

    The local Thomas Cook office organised every detail of our holiday. From Heathrow to Luxor it was plain sailing. We were met at Luxor airport, taken to the boat and met by a smiling helpful crew who could and would do anything to ensure your holiday was a lasting wonderful experience. Finally, I would without reservation, strongly recommend the Thomas Cook Royal Rhapsody Nile Discovery cruise to anyone wanting a care free trip of a lifetime. It was both restful and exciting on-board the wonde ...

    Had a wonderful time on the Royal Rhapsody, the boat manager and staff could not do enough to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The food and service were first class, and nothing was too much trouble for those that did not want what was available. The boat was very comfortable and a nice size so easy to get to know everyone. Highly recommended.

    The Thomas Cook Nile cruise must please anyone. Royal Rhapsody (and her sister Seranade) are small boats that offer an exceptionally high standard of service. The staff are determined to make your holiday enjoyable. Food is fantastic - everything cooked on board and offers an incredible choice, with first class serving. The Treasures of the Nile Criuse took us to all the main sights, along with a very knowledgable, friendly and experienced Egyptologist. I have scored 10 for entertainment becaus ...
