The Ultimate Cruise
"This was the first cruise for the amazing staff since the Covid shut down and every member of the crew from housekeeping to Captain, to dishwasher or the engineers were attentive, friendly and professional going above and beyond to provide superb service.I had the absolute pleasure to be on board for the Maiden Voyage of the SS Sphinx and the first for the crew in a very long time, so much so that when passing communities there were cheers, and each boat we passed greeted with horn blasts, a real celebration...."Read More

Review for S.S. Sphinx to Middle East

One of the best vacations we've had in a long time. A Nile River Cruise has been on our bucket list and this did not disappoint. From the moment we were met at Cairo Airport everything was well organised - the Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo was very good, our room was spacious and comfortable and the Riviera Italian restaurant was very good.
Service on ship was good, staff friendly and helpful. ...

We’d been to Egypt several times over the years, and wanted to return.
We spotted an advertisement for a Uniworld cruise on the Nile that seemed to include so much, plus a few days in Cairo.
It turned out to be a fantastic trip, with everything one could possibly want included: business class air fare, 5 star Cairo hotel, daily fully guided tours, meal time drinks and , of course, an ...

The places visited were spectacular and the sites and scenes along the Nile were almost magical, however the itinerary of getting to and from these places was somewhat cumbersome. There were a total of 6 plane rides including the Abu Simbel option. I believe this is just the nature of the beast one has to go through in order to see these sites. The only negative I would place on the itinerary is ...

We chose this cruise so we could visit many wonders of the world such as the Great Pyramids at Giza, The Valley of the Kings, and Temple Abu Simbel. The chance to see all of these ancient places and have a wonderful professional Egyptologist to point and explain many of the finer points provided us a vacation of a lifetime. Secondary to seeing the many wonderful sights was being transported ...

We love Uniworld and wanted to experience Egypt. We were so lucky to have Hazem as our guide. He knows everything and such a fun guy to tour with. Love his stories about history and local culture. We were so excited to visit the pyramids, to learn about the Pharaohs and visit all the temples. It was eye opening to travel down the streets and see the Egyptian culture. We learned about the ...

We have long wanted to see the Pyramids and Egyptian Temples, and the Uniworld itinerary was perfect. The Sphinx is a new ship, and the rooms and other spaces are very comfortable. We also found the staff to be exceptional.
The excursions were excellent, and we generally didn’t do too much in a day. We learned how important a great guide can be. We were fortunate to have Hazem as our guide ...

We had been planning this Nile Cruise when the Sphinx had caught on fire & then Covid came round. We finally re-booked for our 32 anniversary in March 2022. Egypt had been on our bucket list and Uniworld was quoted as being the luxury of the Nile river boat ships. This was/is the way to go if you want to see EVERY pyramid. We had spent 5 days on our own in Cario and had private tours before ...

My wife has dreamed of a trip to Egypt since she was a little girl. My reluctance about travel in the region of the world where Egypt lies has kept me from being supportive of fulfilling that dream. We retired in May 2021 and spent some time traveling domestically, but nothing out of the country. Compound my hesitance and the impact COVID has had on our lives, it was time for international travel. ...

My cousin and I did this cruise this past March and if you've ever wanted to see Egypt, a river cruise is the way to go. First the amazing part, the people. Our Egyptologist was Ayman and he brought Egypt to life. We would have had no idea what we were looking at without him. It was overwhelming at times because there was so much to see, but it was phenomenal. The next best was the crew ...
