Climb aboard this floating hotel to embark on a voyage of a lifetime. Experience the lap of luxury in your beautifully appointed cabin or take in the sights and sounds of the ever-changing surroundings from the observation deck. All cabins are air-conditioned, twin or double bedded, with a television, mini-bar, safe, marble bathroom with shower. Each cabin has a large window and some of the upper deck cabins have a sofa-bed. Facilities include a Plunge pool, Sundeck and bar, Restaurant, Lounge bar and discotheque, Occasional informal entertainment,
TV lounge, Billiard table, Internet & Shop.
The trip is worth while just to see the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Karnak, Temple of Hatshepsul and if you don't mind an early start which my wife didn't, Temple of Abul Simbel. For the other attractions, I think you have to have a keener interest...

Returned this week from Magic 1 and for us it was magic! I heard cruise ships were very small so luggage should be minimum, was I suprised. The room was very spacious, I have stayed in hotels with smaller rooms. From the warm flannels they greet you...

Can't praise the MS Magic 1 enough, I'd heard in other reviews that this was one of the better boats on the Nile and they're not wrong.
Meals:
Obviously these boat aren't massive and as such seating in the restaurant is exact, they...

Well appointed boat with great cabin space and overall a very friendly crew (couple of barmen and disc jockey excepted) and well recommended. The food was plentiful but fairly bland and not enough variety for our tastes although the head waiter was...

We had a great time on ms magic 1. The food was okay, a little repetitive and on one particular day it was like the chef had lost the will to live and given up as there was hardly anything to choose from!
Excellent Holiday, haven't a bad word about the Boat, Staff, Food, or Tour Operator. We were on board Christmas Day and New Years Eve - Fantastic!
Luxor was different (what you'd expect really from an Egyptian City) trouble with us Brits...

This was our fourth holiday to Egypt, and fourth Nile Cruise, and the MS Magic 1 was by far the best boat we have sailed on.
Cabins were neat, tidy and kept meticulously clean.
Food as always was a little repetitive, but always...

Well what can I say! The boat was as expected very comfortable but if you are on a single supplement holiday and given one of their 'single cabins' be aware that you will get no sleep what so ever when you sail through the night and you do not get any...

I came back from this Nile Cruise one week ago.
I cannot fault the boat at all. The food was excellent, a lot better than I thought it would be as Egypt is a poor country. I think the chefs did an excellent job and there is always...

Having stayed in Luxor in 2006, we decided to try a cruise, as it presented the opportunity to see sites at Aswan which were expensive trips from Luxor.
The Magic 1 far exceeded our expectations. The cabins were very comfortable - in fact...

We are a family of 10 that cruised on this boat all inclusive for 8 days.
The food was great, always something I liked and I am pretty fussy! Tea and cakes in the afternoon and free drinks all day till 12.00pm (which was great when you...
