The Alexander the Great Nile Cruise was a journey of a lifetime. The cabins were a comfortable haven, and the Nile views were enchanting. The dining options were diverse, and I couldn’t get enough local cuisine. The entertainment was lively, and we danced under the stars during the themed parties. This cruise ignited a passion for Egypt’s rich heritage, and I’m already planning my return trip.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience on the MS Alexander the Great Nile Cruise. The onboard entertainment was a blast, with live music and themed parties. But what truly blew us away were the excursions. Visiting the Valley of the Kings and witnessing the grandeur of Abu Simbel were the highlights of our trip.
