We had a very pleasant experience aboard the brand-new Historia, cruising from Aswan to Luxor. There is nothing negative to say about the boat; everything from the communication during booking to the transportation, excursions, food, and rooms was perfect. The staff made us feel extremely at home and were exceptionally friendly. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a relaxing retreat after each day's adventures. The excursions were well-organized and informative, offering a deep dive into Egypt's rich history. Dining on board was a delight, with a wide variety of delicious dishes to choose from. Every aspect of our journey exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend the Historia for anyone looking to explore Egypt in comfort and style.

The most incredible, unforgettable journey from Awan to Luxor. This cruise is luxury +++. Every detail has been taken care of and delivered to the highest standard. My family and I were greeted with Egyptian music and dance, and enjoyed every element of our stay on board. The cabins are spacious, exceptionally clean and we enjoyed the huge window allowing us to watch the journey day and night. The multi course lunch and dinner on board were of the highest quality. The entertainment did not disappoint, and the staff bent over backwards to deliver a five star experience. This cruise is most definitely the best on the Nike. Thank you for the memories. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Excellent experience. 100% recommend. Best cruise ship for the Nile. Food was awesome, service was perfect, rooms were really comfortable.

This was simply breathtaking from start to finish. If the amazing ancient Egyptian tours were not enough, the 3 nights on the cruise made it a truly unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional and the service even better. We started this cruise at the end of May into June. Whilst it was hot, the low humidity made the weather bearable. We would definitely recommend this time of the year if you want to avoid all the crowds. If you are confused about which Nile cruise to book, look no further, this is the one!

I adored this boat and the staff who looked after us. I looked into the pros and cons of a cruise vs land transport, and am so pleased I did a Nile cruise. This was my first ever cruise, and what a treat to do so on this iconic river, such a relaxing way to stay and travel between Aswan and Luxor, gliding along on this smooth, quiet vessel, watching the scenery of Mother Nile go by. You can move between a number of locations and don't have to worry about where your bags are, or where's your passport. I was travelling solo, and moving constantly, so being on a boat for three nights meant an opportunity to meet and spend time with other travellers. When you are on a boat, a priority is the quality and safety of food, because you may not have the time or opportunity to find an alternative. The food on the Historia was plentiful and delicious - you will not go hungry on this boat! I especially loved the 1001 Nights Banquet, and the cooking demo. The service was next level - probably the best I have had anywhere in the world. Staff were friendly, kind, humorous, and could not do enough for you. They knew guests' names from the moment they embarked. And it was not feigned, but genuine. I left some laundry one morning, expecting I maybe would get it back the next day, went off to visit a temple, and it was back - washed, pressed and folded - by lunchtime the same day. I also loved that they collected tips, to share among the cleaners, crew and staff who are not 'front of house', rather than by individuals who had a lot of contact with guests. I researched just about every cruise boat on the Nile (and I mean ALL of them, multiple links and tabs opened), and specifically requested this boat from High End Journeys, who also organised my fabulous Egyptologist guide, Marco, who met me at each stop for shore excursions to tombs and temples. Hussein, Ali and Ayman (waiters who worked my side of the room) and Executive Chef Mahmoud in particular, thank you for a wonderful Egyptian experience.

We were originally booked to sail on the Farah, but got tranferred to the Historia. How lucky were we? We were on a 7 day cruise, Luxor to Aswan and back. We cannot say enough good things about our experience on this lovely boat and river cruise. The boat was spotlessly clean. The cabin was comfortable and we had Nile views throughout. The staff were incredibly well trained, attentive, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, and more importantly they remembered all of our preferences and often served us before we had to ask. The food was absolutely to die for. The portions were small, but this was not a problem at all - it is called portion control. The presentation and the flavours were fantastic. The menus were varied and included evening meals served on the upper deck. They even did a special river cruise for us on our last night on the upper deck because the weather was too windy the previous night. The entertainment on board was traditional and entertaining. The music they had playing throughout was quietly in the background and easy to listen to. A truly exceptional cruise!

I will start off by saying I’m Egyptian but lived and grew up in the US and have come to Egypt many times. We tend to be the most critical of Egypts tourism. After doing much research, I picked Historia for my ever first Nile cruise. 1. The boat is brand new, very clean and well kept. The rooms are spacious and modern. 2. The staff is all amazing and attentive. They all speak English better than most places. 3. Managers are always available and helpful. They do a good job of training staff. 4. The food is impeccable! Great presentation and the Chef is really talented. Some of the best food I’ve eaten in Egypt. Also everything is fresh and clean so you don’t have to worry about the food and getting sick. 5. The itinerary is very organized and they follow it exactly. 6. Sailing down the Nile is one of the most peaceful things to experience. The customer service is better than some of the 5 star hotels in the US. You can tell everyone on the boat is proud of the work they do. Also we did this trip during the Israel and Gaza war, we didn’t feel a thing and felt very safe the whole time. I would recommend this trip to anyone in America. The only thing I would say is try to go before April just because it gets very hot over a 105 degrees by 11am.

What a marvelous experience. The cruise ship is a boutique style, which really makes it an intimate experience. The ship is new, from 2021 and the decor and furnishing is brand new. The food, staff, and entertainment is really great and generous. The dining experiences are extremely sophisticated and really amazing. The staff are wonderful and there really aren’t enough words to recommend this cruise.

Beautiful accommodations. Fabulous food - first and last dinner was sit down: all other meals were buffet. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating!

We were a group of 8 people who spent 3 nights on the Historia Nile Cruise as part of our Egypt trip. We had a fabulous time! After a night in Aswan at the Old Cataract Hotel (we would have loved to spend another night there as the position and hotel are amazing) we boarded the Historia for our Nile Cruise. The food and service were exceptional and our waiter Ahmed was great. All staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was wonderful. The Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples and The Valley of the Kings were absolute highlights. It’s a great time to travel as sadly for the locals there are few tourists but we always felt safe. I would highly recommend this Cruise and hope to return one day with the rest of our family.

This is my first time leaving a review on trip advisor to say: Simply incredible!!!! We went on the 3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor in December. We stayed in the presidential suite which was so comfortable and spacious. The views of the Nile are breathtaking!! The food is AMAZING. I really thought all the reviews mentioning the food seemed too good to be true especially as we’re very picky but I’m here to confirm the food is divine! Chef Nabil is so accommodating and made every meal an experience. Special shout out to the BBQ we had on the deck and the best chocolate soufflé I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve tried many). The ship is stunning with a modern design and feels brand new. The tours were amazing! We learned a lot and just felt so grateful to experience ancient Egypt with Tamer’s knowledge & expertise and Ahmed’s impeccable organization! Thank you! Also, don’t forget to check out the shop on board (the gentleman who works there made me a custom gold necklace with my name in hieroglyphics). I’m completely serious when I say every single person on the cruise was beyond attentive and genuinely warm. I wish I could name everyone! Thank you Historia for the most incredible experience! I could go on and on…if you’re deciding whether or not to book - just do it!!! I’m so happy I decided to trust the reviews and go for it - it was beyond our expectations.

Views of the Nile are breathtaking. The service is top notch, they pay attention to all the fine details. The tour guides are also very knowledgeable. To wrap it all, the food is really outstanding.

I mean from where do I start .. The experience was amazing from start to finish ! I have never met such an amazing staff that make you feel at home and welcomed all the team, thank you to each and everyone of you including our guide! The food was so amazing and I didn’t want to miss anything .. it really showed that it was cooked professionally but also with an extra pinch of love, the kitchen staff especially the chef goes the extra mile especially during our cooking class .. This also counts for everyone else working on the boat including the concierge, waiters and cleaning staff - Thank you :) . I hope that we will have the chance to come back because you really gave us a once in life time experience ! The kindness, smiles and service were top notch! Couldn’t have wished for anything more special and a big thank you for the free upgrade - I was already over the moon when we were notified about this :) Wishing you all the best and success you wish for ! You truly deserve it :)
