Thank you — we have your dates

We had done a Nile cruise before on a much bigger ship and spent half of it on coaches. Luna ties up at the temple steps at Kom Ombo — you walk off and you are there. That difference is the whole holiday.

Everyone eats at the same time, so the dining room fills and empties together and the staff are not run off their feet. The room itself, with the coloured glass ceiling, is worth the booking on its own.

The balcony on the upper deck is the reason to pay the difference. We had breakfast out there twice and watched the bank go past for hours in the afternoon between Edfu and Kom Ombo.
