An excellent alternative is the Jaz Royale Deluxe Nile Cruise ship.

It has a great reputation for service and the ship is beautifully set out.

Here’s a video that we created about the Jaz Royale that we have featured before on the blog but I thought it might be good to let you see it again if you are thinking of travelling in October and November and cannot get onto the MS. Monica.

If you have visited our Nile Cruise testimonials page you will have read some excellent reports from clients of ours who have travelled on the Domina Prestige.

The Domina has always proved to be a popular choice for anyone seeking a good 5 star Nile Cruise.  However, until recently it has only been offered on a full board basis, (breakfast, lunch and dinner – no refreshments).

From today we can now book your Nile cruise on the Domina Prestige on an All Inclusive basis, (breakfast, lunch, dinner and refreshments including local beer, local wine, local soft drinks and bottled water).

Drinks on board a typical Nile cruise ship are around the same price as you would pay on an evening out in this country.  So working on that basis you’ll be able to calculate what sort of bar bill you would incur if you chose to take the full board basis.

Personally, I think that if you are a moderate drinker and if you drink a lot of bottled water, then the All Inclusive option on any ship will offer you great savings.

So, for anyone who has been thinking of cruising on the Domina Prestige but wanted to be able to travel on an All Inclusive basis that is now an option we can offer you.

Please use our dedicated Freephone number 0808 1089 100 for any more information regarding the Domina Prestige or any of our other All Inclusive Nile Cruises.

We will be offering the Pioneer II with departures from Gatwick and Manchester and we’re sure it will be an excellent addition to our range of Nile Cruise ships.

Included is a full 10 excursion programme, transfers and the services of a qualified Egyptologist.

For more details please call either Barbara or myself, Colin, on Freephone 0808 1089 100.

We are able to offer a great range of Nile Cruise ships ranging from great value 4 star ships such as the Viking III or the Fleurette to absolutely beautiful deluxe ships such as the Alexander The Great, but of course what normally makes a particular ship “popular” with people is the price thay can get it for.

As with all things you “get what you pay for” so the more you pay for a Nile Cruise the more you would expect to get.  However, I would suggest that its’ slightly different for a Nile Cruise as the destinations that you will visit are the same, (The Valley Of The Kings, The Temple Of Karnak, etc, etc), and you will be travelling on the same stretch of water – the Nile – so really the only difference is the standard of ship and its’ accommodation.

So, depending on what your budget is, then the most “popular” ship for you will be the one that meets your budget.

The only thing I would recommend is that as you may never cruise the Nile again you should try and book the best possible ship for your money.  In other words I think  that if you stretch yourself and book the best ship you can get then you wont’ regret it when your actually cruising and the memories will last a lifetime.

Why not take a look at some of the ships on our Nile Cruise Ships page?

We enjoyed the hospitality of the Centenary Club where you have a lovely meal and some drinks before taking your seats to watch the match.

It was a great day and allowed to us to recharge our batteries.  It was Sami Hypia’s last match for Liverpool and it was obviously very emotional for him as he appeared to break down in tears as he took his lap of honour.  It was great to see that the majority of the away supporters stayed to applaud him and all the Tottenham players made a point of congratulating him for his service to Liverpool FC.

My photo, taken on my iPhone, is of Sami Hypia and the whole of the Liverpool team with their children taking a lap of honour at the end of a great season which saw them nearly catch Man Utd for the league title.

For me, as a Liverpool supporter it was a great day.

Now, its’ back to selling Nile Cruises!!

Here’s a short video showing the quality of the accommodation and facilities on board:

Our client, who is an experienced restauranter, called us to say he thought the food was excellent and he could really recommend the whole experience of cruising the Nile on the Royal Viking.

It’s always great to receive positive feedback from clients so if anybody reading this can let us know your own opinions of your Nile Cruise ship we’d love to hear from you.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding further descriptions so that the page becomes a pretty exhaustive directory of the leading Nile Cruise ships available from the UK.

It’s taking a bit longer than expected as we’ve been busier than we thought we would be in January so I’m building the pages whenever I get a break.

Just added the Fleurette Nile Cruise ship to the page and I’m working on the Da Vinci as a I type this.

Hopefully by the end of next week we’ll have all the ships showing on that page linked to a dedicated page of their own.  Then we can add even more.

This a really comprehensive tour that would really suit someone looking for a real journey of discovery and unrivalled beauty .

Lake Nasser is located south of Aswan and stretches almost 300km. Cruising Lake Nasser is an unforgettable experience; the lake itself is beautiful and has a charming atmosphere, and the area is home to the Temples that were so painstakingly moved in the 1960’s from the rising waters of the lake by UNESCO. A Lake Nasser Cruise offers an unrivalled journey of discovery and natural beauty, in the comfort and luxury of deluxe accommodation.

You will cruise on the Movenpick MS. Prinve Abbas which is a recently renovated deluxe cruiser and stay in excellent hotels throughout your trip.

However we can arrange a great one week Nile Cruise and Cairo trip that includes a 4 night cruise on the excellent Royal Viking Nile Cruise ship followed by a 3 night trip to Cairo where you can visit The Sphinx, The Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum.

Prices start at £899 (between 26th May and 19th July) and rise to £1199 in October.

I think its’ a great way to really experience the best of Egypt and it’s certainly a trip that I’m hoping to take later this year.

You can see the testimonial on our Nile Cruise Testimonials page or read it below:

Hi Barbara,

I just wanted to thank you so much for all your hard work and the trouble you went to in making our holiday in Egypt run so smoothly. As you know, we booked very late in the day and although we werent’ able to stay in the “brochure hotels”, the substitutes you found for us were just as good, if not better, and suited our requirements much more.

Our boat, “Alexander The Great”, was fabulous. Small and intimate but you didnt’ live in each others pockets – your description of it was just perfect. The staff were very helpful, food fantastic, but our overall thanks must go to “Yasser”, our guide on board, who was fun, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic that it was infectious. We certainly didnt’ feel “templed-out” and “Angels” has come to have a special meaning to us.

We were also very well looked after in Cairo. “Hany”, our guide there, ensured that we were well looked after and our day trip to The Pyramids, Saqqara and finally the Sound and Lights Show was very good value.

Thank you once again – it was a real pleasure “doing business” with you and will have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends.

Best wishes,

Lesley & peter Davis

I’m currently adding a new page, MS.Stephanie Nile Cruise, to the main Nile Cruises 4u website with a full gallery of pictures but I found this brief video on YouTube and thought I’d add it to the blog, courtesy of “Samc21ewaltor“.

We are also featuring another great vessel, the MS Monica Nile Cruise ship and there will be a new page dedicated to that ship up on the main website within the next few days.

We’ve received great reports about both ships and if your thinking of taking a Nile Cruise this year please give us a call on our FREEPHONE number 0808 1089 100 and we’ll tell you all about both ships.

They found our website after searching for “nile cruises” on Google and then emailed and called us.  They were making their own way from Bucharest to Luxor and we were able to package together a cruise on the MS. TiYi, a deluxe Nile Cruiser and we also arranged a couple of night hotel accommodation either end of the cruise.

I’m always thrilled with the power of the Internet, especially as I am old enough to remember when it didn’t’ even exist!  To be able to market to clients from all around the world is just amazing.

Lisa travelled earlier this month and kindly wrote a long and detailed review of her impressions.

I’m sure if your thinking of taking a Nile cruise, perhaps even sailing on the King Tut III you’ll find Lisa’s review really useful. You can read it by clicking here and visiting our Nile cruise reviews section.

Here are pictures of the Lounge, the Bar, the Pool and the Restaurant.

Prices are around the £899 mark depending on dates but this is an excellent ship for someone looking for an deluxe cruise at a reasonable price.

Please call either Barbara or myself, Colin, on Freephone 0808 1089 100 for details of availability and price.
