Concerto I
Concerto I is a deluxe Nile cruise ship launched in 2008 and renewed in 2015, with a pool, a full spa and a lively lounge. It suits sociable couples, friends and families.
Concerto I first sailed in September 2008 and was renewed in December 2015, so her interiors are newer than her hull. Every cabin has a large panoramic window that opens onto the river, plus a bathtub, individual air conditioning, a minibar and a safe. Two junior suites and two president suites add space. Public areas are the draw: a pool and snack bar on the sun deck, a panorama bar, a reading area and a lounge with a discotheque. The spa has a sauna, a jacuzzi, gym equipment, massage and a jet shower. The disco and bars make evenings lively, so light sleepers should ask about cabin placement.
Concerto I leaves Luxor on Saturdays for 4 nights to Aswan and Aswan on Wednesdays for 3 nights to Luxor. The route calls at Edfu and Kom Ombo between the two cities. The restaurant seats everyone in one sitting. Several Nile ships share the Concerto name, including Concerto II, so check the numeral when you compare offers. Book the Saturday sailing if you want Luxor's temples at the start of the trip.
