Good Points: Everything

Bad Points: Nothing

General comments: We have just returned from a Nile cruise on the MS Monica- what can I say BRILLANT

Having been on a Nile cruise once before I knew what to expect. The MS monica was wonderful, you see other boats when you are moored together and I am glad that we booked the Monica.

Cabins are clean, comfortable and service was excellent, nothing is too much trouble for the waiting staff, always friendly and courteous.

cruising down the Nile is wonderful, the sights, everything, it is a trip of a lifetime. The guide brings Egypt to life, although we had done the trips before it was wonderful. We would still do it again.

Food is excellent, none of us were sick, you do hear some stories, all you need is to be sensible, have water from a bottle, don't buy it from anywhere else, don't clean teeth in tap water, no ice etc, people seem to forget it is not Europe.

We booked directly with Orbital Travel, the service from booking to return was excellent, very well organised. I would certainley book with them again. GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY- We highly recommend this cruise.

We had been planning to do a Nile cruise for years but never got round to it. This year we finnaly achieved our aim on the MS Monica with Orbital Travel
It is definitely the best "culture" holiday we have been on. The organised visits were excellent and although tired at the end of each day, we felt it was well worth it. The tour guides were excellent very friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. Seeing Karnak definitely being the highlight along with a boat trip to see th ...

My husband and I travelled on board the Ms Monica in June of this year, we booked with Future Travel who were very helpful and attentive from the first contact, even putting up with my endless questions concerning the Nile cruise program. The Cruise itself was booked via Orbital Travel by Future Travel.The flight was comfortable, although the seat pitch on Thompson could have been a little better, but for a four odd hour flight it was not too bad. Upon arrival into Luxor airport, we quickly foun ...

My wife and I are experienced cruisers and were looking to find a Nile cruise ship compatible with the one we had been on two years previously, named the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was classified as 4-star. It was beautiful, well maintained with good food and excellent service. It was also moored outside the New Winter Palace, unlike the MS Monica, which was moored at the end of a dirt track some 3 km from Luxor.Unable to book the Crown Prince this time we checked on-line for a similar sh ...

I returned from a week on the MS Monica Nile Cruise at the beginning of June and want to go back - it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life - made even more special by the fantastic staff aboard the ship.

Our cabin was lovely - bright and spacious and with a nice french window. Air conditoning was a lifesaver!! Clean and tidy bathroom with great daily maid service.

We went All Inclusive and wow am I glad we did - drinks were expensive on board, but apparently this is normal in Egy ...
