Recent recommendations for best 4–5 day Luxor–Aswan Nile cruise?
I’ve searched previous Nile cruise threads but am still overwhelmed by the number of options and I have seen mixed reviews.
I’m looking for a 4–5 day Luxor–Aswan cruise, 5-star standard, with a budget of about $1,000–$2,000 per person. Priorities are a great Egyptologist, good food, comfortable rooms, and stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo, ideally with Abu Simbel arranged as well.
I’ve looked at A&K, but it’s too expensive/long, and dahabiyas also seem pricey and I am not sure my parents will like the boat. I’ve come across names like Mövenpick and Sonesta, but I’m open to anything.
If you’ve done one recently and were happy with it, which specific ship did you take and would you recommend it? Thanks so much!
