" Thomas Cook "

The boat was built in 1992 with an original complement of 56 cabins. It was subsequently remodelled in 1998-99 to support just 20 cabin/suites, each having a floor area of about 30m2. This was personally my reason for choosing this boat. The large... read more

Advice: read up on the New Kingdom before you go

Activities: Try to work out how they would have moved the unfinished obelisk

" Captured by the Nile "

The MS Terramar is a small, charming boat, but it has large spacious suites. My two teenage children and myself shared a suite and there was plenty of space for us and all our belongings, and never once did we feel cramped. Our suite was port side, and... read more

Advice: So glad we did most of the visits at the beginning of the week so we could relax and unwind later.

Activities: All the guided visits were wonderful. I dreaded the camel ride, but that too was terrific!

" Great Time and Great Ship "

We booked the Ms Terramar through a website called www.rivernilecruise.com and went on the Cruise in June 2009. The Ms Terramar was everyting we expected and more. We agree with other reviews that if you can get a starboard cabin then try but never the... read more

" Holiday of a life time "

The MS Terremar is fantastic. Rooms, food, service and plenty of sunbeds for everyone. There are 60 staff on board and only 22 rooms so you get more of a personnel touch compared to a very large cruise ship.
The swimming pool is a large plunge... read more

" The majority of the reports you will... "

The majority of the reports you will read on the MS Terramar will tell you that it is an exceptional Nile boat – and it is. However, my report will also include some details that are not in the brochures.
