I read this review of the Oberoi Zahra Nile Cruise by Katy Guest of the Irish Independent and thought it was worth posting here to give you a real feel for what the cruise entails…

“As a small child, my little brother used to ask, “If God can do anything, why can’t He make snow warm?” We never did receive a satisfactory answer, but I thought of that paradox again as I lay on the deck of Oberoi’s new floating hotel, sipping an ice-cold beer and idly gazing towards the stern.

At the rear of the sundeck, behind the shimmering pool, cold steam was pouring from a shady trellis. Cold steam. On a 35C afternoon. If God is planning a cruising holiday, He would do well to come and take some tips from the Zahra.

There are cruise ships; there are luxury cruise ships, and then there is the Oberoi group’s new super-dooper Nile cruiser, the Zahra. Do you aspire to a life in which you are greeted with a smile and a jasmine-scented cold flannel? Do you prefer your masseuses hand-picked from Thailand, “because they are more beautiful”? Do you like to be wafted to sleep on a soft scented pillow of lemongrass oil and Nile breezes? Then this cruise ship is for you – even if you are not a god. So lavish is it that even its view of the world is superior: guests see the Nile and the Egyptian sky through blue-tinted windows. Continue reading “Luxury Nile Cruise – Oberoi Zahra”

How would you like to save £1600 on a Luxury Nile Cruise on the fabulous Oberoi Zahra?

Well you can. If you travel between 30th of June and the 30th of July you will pay only £1399 per person. Whereas if you take the same cruise between the 9th of December and the 31st of December you will pay £2999. A massive saving of £1600!!

Same cruise, same facilities, same luxurious Nile cruise.

Please call Barbara or myself on Freephone 0808 1089 100 for more details of this fabulous luxury Nile cruise.

I’m always looking out for great Nile Cruise and Egypt travel resources that might help potential Nile cruise passengers gain a “feel” for the country itself. Which is why you’ll find some Nile Cruise videos on the main Nile Cruises 4u website and why we’ve created the Nile Cruise Podcast so you can hear some actual opinions and descriptions from clients who have cruised regularly.

Here’s another resource that you might want to look at. Its’ a gallery of Egyptian photographs showing a lot of the main sites and temples that you can visit when cruising the Nile. Egypt Photo Gallery.

If you come across any other resources that you think might be useful for other readers please let me know and I’ll feature them here on the Nile Cruise Blog.

Again we were really busy with enquiries about the Oberoi Zahra Luxury Nile Cruise yesterday.

I think the whole idea of the 3 nights in Cairo before the cruise giving you the chance to see the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum followed by a 7 night cruise on the Nile’s most luxurious Nile cruiser is really getting peoples imagination going.

It is more expensive than some of our regular Nile cruises but if you add up what your getting, 3 nights hotel, 7 night luxury Nile cruise and internal transfers by plane, it’s really excallent value.

Yesterday we had a whole bunch of enquiries from people hoping to book it for their honeymoons. What an unforgettable and romantic trip that would be. Perhaps I’ll ask Barbara to renew our vows as an excuse to take the trip ourselves as a second honeymoon.

Mind you she might not want to renew them!! Best not push my luck!!
