Special mention for Mahmoud Mando Barman and Moncef our dining room waiter. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them. Also special mention to the... More

We just finished a one-week Nile cruise on the Royal Viking. This was our first Nile cruise and we were really excited. I have to say that the rooms on the Royal Viking are very nice and well appointed, as the ship has been recently renovated. The food was very good and the staff is all very nice. We were... More

However this in all fairness is out of the control of the cruise company. The tour company kept all its promises and used coaches so we could see all the sights on time. The room is... More

Escaped the inclement Cornish weather last week to cruise the Nile and got some serious dessert sunshine and 100 degree temperatures - lush! My husband and I went mainly for the tonic of some hot weather but were very pleasantly surprised at the amazing treatment and value of our all inclusive holiday package with Red Sea Holidays aboard the fantastic...

I travelled with my partner on a weeks Nile Cruise on the MV Grand Rose booked through Red Sea Holidays. We got back 2 weeks ago and we are still talking about the wonderful time that we had. I would have no problem in recommending this boat to anyone. We had not previously been on a cruise but many other... More

The MS Grand Rose is billed as 5*+. Think 3-4*. Value - as we booked this one week before departure and paid half price this... More
