Nile Excellence Nile Cruise

An all-suite deluxe Nile ship with 30 suites, including two junior singles for solo travelers, a sun deck pool and a piano bar.

Nile Excellence is a compact deluxe ship where every room is a suite. Its 30 suites split into 23 standard suites, two junior double suites, two junior single suites and three royal suites. The junior singles are rare on the Nile, so solo travelers should ask for one early. The sun deck has a pool and bar, and the lounge and piano bar carry the evenings. Services include laundry, an internet corner, 24-hour room service and on-call medical help. No spa or gym is confirmed, so spa-focused travelers should look at other ships.

The 4-night cruise leaves Luxor on Thursdays and sails south to Aswan. The 3-night cruise leaves Aswan on Mondays and heads north to Luxor. Stops include Edfu and Kom Ombo; the ship passes the Esna lock, and in Aswan you can add a morning at Philae. Temple visits run in the cooler mornings, and the ship sails while you eat or rest. Watch the Esna lock from the upper deck; it is slow and worth the time.
