Salacia Nile Cruise over Christmas
Excellent service, entertainment and food. 5 star
, 1/12/23

A group of 12 of us, friends and family, spent 5 days on the boat. Despite the age of the boat which may need some update; however, it made up for its excellent service, food quality, entertainment, and the spa. We had one of the best and most intimate cruise experiences. The staff at the dining room are awesome. The chef and food are exceptional and one the best we have in all of previous cruises. Salwa at the Spa is magical and most of us visit her more than once during our trip. She took away all the ache and pain from all the walking....the best massage I ever had. 5 star. Ali, our cameraman is hilarious and full of personality. Our tour guide, Hussain, is excellent.

A lot of people prefer cruising at that time of year, but for me, it is way too cold, way too windy and the days are way too short!
