M/Y ALYSSA - 4 or 7 Nights From Luxor each Monday and 3 or 7 Nights From Aswan each Friday

Enjoyable but too much pollution

Pros: Very good cabin size. Friendly, attentive and hard working staff. Very good food and gluten free catered for.

Cons: Too many ships caused horrendous pollution. Disliked being alongside otter ships at night so you look directly into a cabin from another ship. Also, this means you can’t enjoy being on deck as there are so many fumes. There was a lingering musty smell throughout the ship. Gym was awful. Evening entertainment was very disappointing.

Excellent experience at reasonable price

Pros: The staff were amazing - John the managers was brilliant the restaurant manager was fantastic and the two cabin attendants were so excited about their nightly towel art that they stayed to watch your reaction. Boat is very comfortable food was really good

Cons: There could potentially be more entertainment on the boat the Belly Dancing was great but only one night. A showing of Death on the Nile would be a great add on

Très bon séjour à bord je recommande.

Pros: L’ensemble du personnel était à notre écoute et agréable et répondait à toutes nos attentes demandes. Le service est de qualité.

Overall, very good deal if you choose to do a cruise for this route

Pros: - Excellent value for money — probably the best cost–benefit option for this route. - Food was much better than expected, consistently solid and enjoyable. - The cabin staff (YES) are outstanding and honestly deserve special mention. They put on a surprise performance that is genuinely fun and memorable (no spoilers)

Cons: - Car vs. Cruise / Crowds: Doing the Aswan–Luxor route by cruise has clear trade-offs. this is not specific to Alyssa, but to cruises in general. You will visit all the main sites at the busiest times. You avoid the daily hassle of finding hotels and restaurants, but in exchange you visit major attractions at peak crowd times. Overall, the cruise does make sense, but if your top priority is visiting temples without crowds, traveling independently (by car) on off-peak dates is definitely the better option. - Timing and delays: Alyssa is always late. Plan your trip with buffer days, especially your departure day. The boat runs late for everything. Schedules are unreliable, and you really cannot plan tightly around them. - Staff consistency: while some crew members are great, others are mediocre or unhelpful — unfortunately consistent with our broader experience in Egypt. - Currency exchange rates: the USD/EUR rates used onboard are abusive and seem to be based on absolutely nothing...

Croisière de Louxor à Assouan

Pros: Bateau confortable même s’il a vécu. Le bar, le restaurant et le pont supérieur sont très agréables. La cabine est spacieuse avec sa baie panoramique. Le personnel est exceptionnel et attachant. Les prestations étaient plus que conformes à nos attentes, avec une nourriture de bonne qualité. Le vrai plus est le service individualisé, on s’y sent tout simplement bien.

Cons: Rien

Crociera consigliatissma

Pros: Crociera stupenda e perfetto in tutto, dai servizi alle camere. Staff cordiale e sempre disponibile per ogni esigenza. Menzione speciale per le guide (parlanti italiano) che hanno saputo trasformare il nostro viaggio in un’esperienza davvero speciale

Good boat even better tours

Pros: Good boat, it has a modern style compared to most of the others we saw around, the food is also very good, but the best part was the tours with our guide Shenouda.

Cons: I think there could be more food variety, but quality was great.
