    Dont book with Louis you might land up on the Merissa its a rust bucket we got reall Ill off the thing with ecoli
    Try https://www.salamis-tours.com/cruises/cruises_glory.html saw these in the harbour and heard good things about them from others while we were there.
    If you e-mail them and offer to book direct they give you a discount and I found them more expensive in resort but that does depend on when your going. If its low season you mgiht be better off waiting if its high season take the discount and book before you go

    you could try these https://www.cruisecyprus.com/prices.htm#Egypt%202%20day
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Be warned, if you go for the cheapest cabin, you will be right next to the engines with the constant noise.

  • We used Salamis last year for a 2 day cruise to Egypt and we were more than happy with the standard of food and service. Agreeing with geo555, we booked a mid price cabin and it was quiet - a slight sea swell gave the wife seasickness but she still enjoyed the trip.
    One tip, when you get ashore, try to get in the front of the first coach. You'll be amazed at the security and speed you pass through smaller towns on your way to Cairo. And like me, you may get the armed detective sat next to you bearing an amazing resemblance to Will Smith:-)
    Overall well worth the few pounds to visit an amazing country.
