We (me and my adult son) were so excited about this part of our Egypt journey and it turned into a nightmare! Keep in mind that there are many different price points for similar cruises. I like many, assumed that choosing the most expensive would equal the best boat and experience. I was wrong! It began when we pulled up to a boat that looked very very worn. When checking in they said they had a reservation in my name but it was for a single room and there were no rooms with 2 beds left on the boat. We waited many hours. I began communicating with La Vacanza Travel and they in turn had the 3rd party representative that they used contact me. So then we spent hours hopping from boat to boat each worse than the previous. We were not offered any of the nicer newer boats and although I thought I had purchased a room with a balcony there were none with that option. There were no available cabins that could host my son and I. The original boat was our only option. They moved an employee out of his cabin for us. The room was directly over the engine and had not been updated like the others. When we woke in the morning we were both suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning (my son is an MD). They were able to move us to a different room (maybe someone else got off?). Then we were told that our itinerary would NOT be what we had purchased and planned on. It was an entirely different cruise only beginning and ending in the same places. All of the staff on board were wonderful. The food was good. We did not get to see places that we had looked forward to. Throughout this time I was communicating with La Vacanza Travel. They did not resolve this in any way. They were not supportive and did not compensate me in any way either. I truly do not recommend this to anyone! P.S. The balloon ride was cancelled. We only received a $25 credit back for that.

A good time was spent on the Nile cruise, and all the visits were of the utmost splendor and beauty. The organization was excellent, and Ahmed was in charge of the trip, following us moment by moment. Indeed, it was a very wonderful and beautiful trip. Thank you for caring about us. We recommend the trip to anyone who wants to take a Nile cruise in Egypt.
