Blue Shadow III Nile Cruise

A deluxe ship with a pool and a separate children's pool, about 66 cabins and suites, leaving Luxor on Mondays and Aswan on Fridays. Suits families.

Blue Shadow III is the family pick of the Blue Shadow ships, thanks to a children's pool beside the main pool on the sun deck. That deck also has a bar and makes afternoons lively. The ship has about 66 rooms: 60 standard cabins of about 19.8 square meters, plus Junior, Royal and Presidential Suites, two of each. Cabins have air conditioning, an LCD TV, a minibar, a safe and a tea and coffee tray. A sauna, massage, fitness equipment and a lounge bar fill the inside, and reception is open around the clock. Standard cabins are compact for a family of three or four.

Four-night cruises leave Luxor on Mondays, and three-night cruises leave Aswan on Fridays. Both cover Edfu, Kom Ombo and the Aswan temples. Wi-Fi appears in listings as both free and paid, so plan on offline games between ports. Add a spare day in Luxor before boarding, because the West Bank needs more time than most families expect.
