    Great price. Do you have to provide your own oars?

    Try to check out the boat there is a lot of variation in quality.

    Absolutely. Been on a Thomson Nile cruise in Nov & going back in June this year & some of the other boats we witnessed have seen better days. It is a good price but not a massive saving for a last minute deal in April to be honest. They will make up for the reduction by the extortionate bar prices on board. I would always advise to find out the name of the boat first & do some research as the quality of food, service & hygene varies enormously. It's a great trip though & I'd recommend it to anyone.

    At that price, there is no engine, and it is a PHAEROE. :rolleyes:

    And salmonella & novovirus come free of charge, too. :rotfl:

    I've been on 2 Nile cruises and I'd recommend that you book the best quality boat you can afford.
