Séjour très agréable avec un personnel de bord attentif et adorable
Pros:

La qualité des mets proposés était très bon. Le personnel était incroyablement gentil et serviable. Les chambres sont spacieuses. Le bateau n'est pas trop grand donc on peut s'y repérer facilement. Les excursions sont très bien organisées

Cons:

Les coussins de lit sont un peu trop durs à mon goût. Les salles de bain sont un peu vieillottes.
Quand on réserve la croisière, on n'a pas de visibilité sur le départ du bateau jusqu'à 24h avant notre départ. On essaie de contacter Mövenpick via email ou telephone pour leur demander à quelle heure max on doit arriver, pour organiser aussi le reste de notre voyage après la croisière. Aucune réponse via mail ou personne ne répond au téléphone. Le bateau n'a rien à voir avec cela. Il s'agit de la responsabilité du groupe Movenpick.

Pros:

I had an amazing experience on the Prince Abbas , Lake Nasser Cruise, which I took from Aswan to Abu Simbel.
This cruise is operated by Mövenpick, and everything about the experience was outstanding.

From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed, and I was pleasantly surprised with a suite upgrade, which made the trip even more special.

The service was excellent, the staff were extremely professional and friendly, and the food was outstanding throughout the entire cruise.

I would like to sincerely thank all the crew members for their effort and hospitality.
A special thanks to Abdullah, the Front Office Manager, for his professionalism and kindness, and Mr. Nasr Hashem, the Ship Manager, for running such a high-quality and well-organized cruise.

Lake Nasser is truly one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and I strongly believe it is a destination everyone should visit at least once.
The Prince Abbas , Lake Nasser cruises is among the most beautiful cruises in the world, and I highly recommend this experience to everyone.

I will definitely come back again, and I highly recommend it to all travelers.

Cons:

outstanding

Une croisière de charme
Pros:

Le Prince Abbas est un bateau plein de charme (belles coursives extérieures, très beaux ponts pour le bar, la piscine, le solarium et la détente). La cabine est très agréable. Le personnel est très attentif et très efficace. La nourriture est variée et excellente.
L'organisation des visites avec un guide dans sa langue est parfaite.
La navigation est très apaisante. Le lac Nasser est très peu fréquenté contrairement à la surfréquentation du Nil entre Assouan et Louxor. Les transferts à l'arrivée et au départ sont bien gérés. Bref que du bonheur.

Cons:

Rien

Perché no? Esperienza piacevole
Pros:

L'attenzione del personale.
La cucina, piuttosto buona per una crociera.
Gli spazi comuni ampi, per cui non si avverte più di tanto di essere in molti.

Cons:

Nonostante tutti gli aspetti positivi, un po' cara.
Almeno l'acqua ai pasti dovrebbe essere gratuita.
L'organizzazione è pensata per i gruppi, e ci sta, comunque come "indipendenti " siamo stati trattati molto bene.

Wonderful 3-day cruise on Lake Nasser
Pros:

The ship has beautiful wooden decks. The interior of the rooms is a bit old-fashioned, but it's well kept and clean. Our room was very quiet. The buffet was quite good, lots of choice and good quality. You also get to taste some local food.

Cons:

More information should be provided ahead of the cruise. We only got some information by researching on other websites. But for instance we didn't know that a guide was included in the cruise. Also there was no information on how to get to the ship, how to organise transfer etc.

Impeccable service, delicious food, fascinating tours
Pros:

Impeccable service! The dining room is professionally run, my room was cleaned 2x a day but I never saw the room steward! Front desk knew my name after the first day.

This is a gorgeous older, wooden boat which is beautifully maintained. Think shining decks and polished metal accents. It was a joy to travel on a piece of history.

The food was delicious and every day had a different menu....all was top notch.

The price includes a guide, transportation to sites, and entrance fees. Since I was a solo traveler, I was put with a group of 12 English tourists for the shore excursions. Our guide spoke excellent English and was interesting and knowledgeable.

Abu Simbel is jaw dropping. It exceeded my expectations. The one excursion not included in the cruise price is the evening sound and light show at Abu Simbel. Don't skip it. It is unlike any of the other sound and light shows I saw in Egypt. FABULOUS.

I loved watching the stars at night while we were anchored in remote locations.

There was plenty of downtime each day to read, sunbathe or take a nap.

Security is taken very seriously and since portions of this cruise are in remote desert areas, there are 3 armed security guards. One accompanies each excursion.

I could imagine Agatha Christie cruising on the Prince Abbas.

I can't speak highly enough of this cruise.

Cons:

The walls were thin and I could hear neighbors if they spoke loudly.

Be aware that there will be zero internet or cell reception for about 36 hours as part of the cruise is so remote.

I was the very first booking.com customer to go on this cruise. I had paid in full when I made my reservation. However, the Egyptian agent for booking.com didn't transfer the funds to Movenpick in a timely manner. My first hour on board was spent trying to sort this out. The fault was not Movenpick but on booking.com. Hopefully this is working better, but come prepared with proof of payment.

Finally seating in the dining room is done in a very old fashioned, traditional way. People are seated at tables with other people from their "travel agency." Since I was traveling alone and was the only guest from booking.com, I was seated alone at a table for every meal. Movenpick really should reconsider how this is done.
