Both my husband and I would like to thank the crew and guides both called Mohammed, for a wonderful trip down the Nile. From the time we stepped off the aircraft to when we left the boat was perfectly organised. The only gripe I must stated was the cabins although cleaned... more

I am happy to say that this holiday was the best in my life. The food was excellent, with fresh bread served with every meal. Meal were very nourishing and filling. Staff on ship couldn't be any friendlier, neither could the tour guides. Didn't suffer from 'Egypt' tummy... more

Don't believe the star rating: this ship is 2 star at best. Having said that, this really was a wonderful holiday. Egypt's monumental history is the star of the show, of course, and the guides provided were informative, and entertaining, bringing 4 thousand years of history... more

A fantastic trip, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Although I tour guide was a bit unknowledgeable and there were others on the boat from Manchester who did their best to ruin our holiday. The food could also have been better although it was a buffet the quality was not great. The entertainment was top notch and great fun.

Service was excellent. Food varied each day and very enjoyable. Although cruise boat was small this was a plus point as I got to know all the other guests and there was a friendly atmosphere. Ideal for single travellers as it was easy to meet people and make friends on... more

The Viking II is now probably the oldest and smallest cruise ship on the Nile however the atmosphere was excellent due to the small number of passengers and staff all of which would speak to each other. The accomodation is comprised of very small twin bed cabins which have... more
