Consider a River Cruise while in Egypt  – As part of my vacation package, I spent 3 nights sailing the Nile River aboard the Chateau Lafayette. I would describe is as a mid-range option. The accommodations… read more were nice and clean. I loved that the room was a nice size, and the bathroom was full size as well. The food was good at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The staff was professional, helpful, and fun to sail with. Each night was a different theme, and the wait staff dressed differently each day. I am not a fan of big ocean cruises; so I was glad to have this pleasant experience on the smaller river cruise vessel. I think I would be open to another river cruise.

The cleaning staff kept our rooms and the entire boat very clean each day.

The staff was kind, polite, courteous, everyone tried to please us.
My husband and I spent our wedding anniversary on the ship. It was amazing! The staff treated us with a cake and greeted us! It was very touching, we didn’t even expect it. Thanks for it everyone!

We really like to travel, we have already been to 70 countries, and we have just been to Egypt for the fourth time. But we have never had such an experience! We had nothing to complain about, we had a great time.
Thank you and special thanks to Martina Michael for recommending this boat to us and getting us a better cabin!
Eternal gratitude!
Hope to be back next year!
