Best River Nile Cruises in Egypt

Egypt is a place of many wonders and a perfectly luxurious way to experience some of these is to take a cruise boat along the mystical and legendary River Nile. Like any vacation or tour your cruise boat can make or break your vacation spirit. I have listed below six River Nile cruise boats that can always be relied on for quality and excellence.

Sonesta Star Goddess

This cruise boat is the ultimate in luxury boasting deluxe facilities and service that matches no other. The Sonesta Star Goddess offers a choice of 33 suites and this elegant boat is most definitely for the discerning traveler.

There are five decks with the suites on the upper deck. In each suite you will find individually controlled air conditioning, plasma TV including satellite, DVD, and in-house movies, music system and private direct lines and wireless access to the internet.

You will also find that each suite has a safety deposit box, a mini-bar and a sitting area.

Once you force yourself to leave the luxury of your suite you can eat at the single sitting restaurant with fantastic international cuisine or lounge around on a sundeck enjoying the bar and BBQ facilities. You may even enjoy spending time in the lively lounge and disco area.

And of course you will want to take care of yourself so you can go for a swim in the pool or jog around the track finishing in the spa for a massage and sauna Jacuzzi.

Once evening arrives you can enjoy nightly entertainment.
