Overall experience we enjoyed very much, we did feel pressured at the meal times to purchase drinks but I suppose if like us you mainly drank water the bill at the end of the week was not to bad. We met some lovely people from Wales whom were about our age range and they had been before so that was handy, we learnt a lot of tips. The heat was a bit oppresive at first but take a good sun hat and in some instances an umbrella I believe it shelters you very well and plenty of water and we are sure ...

Presidential MS is a gorgeous boat inside; the outside could put you off though. A lot of the staff are really kind and polite and like to have a laugh. Amazing guide, the owner of the kitchen in the black suit was also really nice and kind. The rooms are plain but still a nice little cabin to sleep in. The boat was very clean and well presented and im making my family come back next year because i loved it soo much :)

All of the crew was simply fantastic! From the persons at the reception desk to the staff in the restaurant, everybody was so kind and polite. Really, it's a great ship. I recommend anyone who plans on going on a Nile cruise to consider the MS Nile Odyssey as an option. You couldn't possibly be disappointed! All of the visits to the temples and other sites are very interesting, and the schedule is well balanced, too.

Our first visit to Egypt saw us on the MS Nile Odyssey at the start of the holiday in Luxor. Our first impression on board was favourable. It was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and polite, and not pushy. There were no 'baksheesh' requests at anytime from anyone on board. The shop had fixed prices on everything and they were fair prices too. Everything was cool, calm and efficient. If only we had appreciated this at the time!
Our time on the Nile Odyssey was easily the best part of the h ...

Do not be put off by the odd bad review. The cabins may look a little tired (we had come from the Four Seasons hotel in Cairo) but the food, courtesy and service were just as good as there. The Odyssey is to be highly recommended and I hope you have Abdullah as your guide. He is a man who has stepped straight out of Ancient Egypt and brings the whole experience to life

Accessing the boat at Luxor was not very appealing - 16 unlit steps down to pokey little quayside - somewhat off putting. Could do better - first impressions count! On board ship made a fortune from the dressing up nights!!! Postcards haven't arrrived 4 weeks after posting on board ship as recommended!
Aswan was the best place to visit. Shop-keepers and kids touting goods made the holiday a complete nightmare!!
However, went to see the tombs and temples and all I can say is WOW they were amazi ...

I was initially disappointed by the small rooms (although the bathrooms were nice) but this soon disappeared because in reality you were only in the room to quickly bath and change or to sleep. The rest of the time was spent either marching round on land in awe of the monuments and temples or up on deck admiring the sights along the Nile. My husband, myself, our 13yr old daughter and 19 year old son all had a wonderful time on our 7 day cruise. This ship has a 5* rating for food hygiene and not ...

Thoroughly enjoyed the short cruise up the nile (except time to pass through Esna lock) and thought the boat was one of the nicest looking externally that we saw.

Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendliness of the crew and the double shower in our cabin which was larger than I expected. Overall all most enjoyable four days and three nights. I did not like the single sitting for lunch and dinner.
I was not impressed by the "entertainment"
I have already recommended it to some friends.

I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the friendliness and helpfulness of the crew. I did not like the single sittings for lunch and dinner I was not impressed by the entertainment provided on some evenings. A most relaxed and pleasant 3 nights of an 11 day holiday.

A Gym would help for keeping fit after all that food
7 Night's cruise is actually 4 nights cruising and 3 nights stationed in one Place. It would be better to do 3 nights in Cairo and 4 nights Nile Cruise
Tea coffee Making facilities in the Room would be great to have
In Summary: A Great Holiday, if you have some Money to splash out, especially in December times. A Great and memorable Experience indeed. Highly Recommended , on Nile Odyssey.

We had an excellent holiday, our Egyptologist was great explaining everything, always there for help, advice or just a chat.
It was the same with the staff, they work such long hours away from there families but are always cheerful, which is great to see.
Loved it so much already planning for the next holiday to Luxor and the Nile.
DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE, WOW!!!

We stayed four days on M/S Nile Odyssey and we had a great time. I really loved it. The food was great. Also, our English speaking guide was the best. I would really like to do this again.

We had 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan booked through Longwoods. The excursions included all the major sights along the route, plus they offered us extra excursions (like a Balloon flight over the Valley of the Kings). Everything was organised like clockwork, and our guide was excellent. He made the ancient history come to life. He had a great sense of humour and a lovely giggle.
I highly recommend the Presidential MS Nile Odyssey cruise!

Picked Presidential MS Nile Odyssey based on the 3 day cruise length. My family of 6, children 2, 6, 11, 13 all loved the boat. We had 2 cabins across the hall from each other. Was great to see both sides of the river. The crew was wonderful! They loved the little kids.
