Every moment, land and ship, was an adventure. Elevated from the competition.

We chose this cruise because our Virtuoso Agent suggested it might be elevated from our previous river cruises on another cruise line. She was CORRECT! I want to mention two things. I am a cruise professional with 25 years onboard the top luxury ocean lines, so I have been on hundreds of cruises and tours. On our cruise,the tour/ship was less than half- full, perhaps due to the conflicts in ...

In this review of our Nile river cruise I provided some travel tips and a day by itinerary review. Travel tips Choose a cruise line that will take care of you from arrival to departure. Cairo is a difficult city to visit on your own. This is not a walking city. You will need to negotiate taxi fares everywhere you go. The airports are also much different than other countries and can be ...

Egyptian history in a nutshell

Review for a Middle East Cruise on Viking Osiris

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

The Viking Osiris is a great Nile River ship, intimate, new, and designed for this service. Take advantage of all optional trips, especially the hot air balloon at dawn over the Valley of the Kings and the trip to Abu Simbel. The days are long, with little down time, but you cover a lot of history. The boat is relatively informal, no need to dress for dinner, etc., as you may be just coming ...

My wife and I are generally ocean cruise fans, but we took this trip in order to explore the history of Egypt. It's hard to imagine a better itinerary than the one organized by Viking. One of the highlights was Nefertari's tomb. Admission is limited to 100 visitors a day, and on the day we visited over half of those were our fellow passengers. The tour guides (Program Directors in Viking ...

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...

Firstly I’ve no idea why so many poor reviews and not great reviews in abundance . We’ve been on a fair number of cruises , this is first time with msc . We booked a suite class (yatch club) as we often do on cruise ships .. The service was excellent , standards across the ship were very good . The staff across the ship were friendly and helpful. I agree with some reviews that say some team were ...

This was our first Viking cruise and we were very favorably impressed with the ship, food and tour guides. I highly recommend this cruise for Americans who want to see the famous temples and pyramids in Egypt!! our tours included entering into a Pyramid tomb, ...

Everything was great. I’m very excited. Best place for holiday. I recommend everyone to visit there for holidays. The ship, the cabin, the staff, the food etc EVERYTHING was great. It’s really worthy to spend your money there. I was travelling with my friend for 1 week. Every night we had unforgettable parties near the pool.The pool was small but anyway very comfortable.Every evening we had dinner ...
