Nile

I am looking to go on a Nile cruise next year end of January, beginning of February and I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good company to go with, hopefully one that is fully inclusive.

Thanks

There are many ways to do a nile cruise lots of companys

You have to look for something that has full excursion packs included, majority of the ships are based on Full Board

Thompson are dependable but it depends where you want to visit.

Be aware that on Nile cruises you have no real option than to go on the cruise tours so as the above post says you really want a cruise with trips included if you want to get off the ship. Egypt is one place where getting off the ship and doing your own thing is a nightmare. I have been all round the world including South America and China and Egypt is the only place I would not do solo.

I've done 2 Nile cruises and enjoyed them both.

Can't remember who the first one was with but the 2nd was booked through Thomson.

Do make sure when booking that your excursions are included.
I've seen a few offers where the excursion package was extra.

One thing I would advise is to go for the best boat you can afford.

Also, look at the itinerary.
Most boats will spend several days in Luxor - so you can visit Temples of Karnak & Luxor and the Valley of The Kings.
Imho, it would be better to have this time split between the beginning and end of your cruise.

Thanks for the post, will have a look at the Thompson one, see a lot that say 4 or 5 star but know that they will not be what would be considered that in uk, the ones with packages including look about £700 a person so not to bad
