Bateau de petite taille et récent.
Pros:

Disponibilité du personnel
Le bateau récent et la propreté
Très bonne cuisine.

Cons:

Seulement 2 jours de navigation sur 4 jours de croisière
Il faut absolument réserver les excursions avant d’embarquer (votre guide vous suivra sur le bateau). Ce n’était pas précisé

Incredible experience
Pros:

We just finished a 4 night cruise on the Tia from Luxor to Aswan and honestly it was an incredible experience from start to finish.

The staff were absolutely outstanding and the food was spot on every single day, especially after long days of sightseeing. We walked through quite a few other ships along the way and that is when it really hit us that we made the right choice booking this one.

It may not have the flashiest lobby compared to some of the bigger boats, but the room sizes are generous and the service more than makes up for it. Comfort, space, and people who genuinely care go a long way, and Tia nails all three.

A very special thank you to Ahmed, also known as Mr America. He was absolutely amazing and went out of his way to help us with everything. Truly one of those people who makes your trip memorable for all the right reasons.

If you are looking to book a Nile cruise, do yourself a favour and book with these guys. One hundred percent worth it.

Cons:

All excellent

Outstanding experience, especially with the chief cook hummus and ahmed America, manager of the restaurant
Pros:

From the moment we stepped onto the Nile cruise, we were treated like royalty. Everything about this experience exceeded our expectations — from the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms to the smooth sailing and beautiful views of the Nile. But what truly made this trip extraordinary was the exceptional service from the staff, especially two remarkable individuals who deserve special recognition.

Chef cook Hummus is nothing short of a culinary genius. Every single meal was a masterpiece — fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and catered to every taste. His attention to detail, kindness, and genuine passion for his work were evident in everything he prepared. Dining on this cruise felt like dining in a 5-star floating restaurant.

A huge thank you as well to Mr. Ahmed “America,” the restaurant manager, whose leadership and professionalism were outstanding. He ensured that every guest was comfortable, satisfied, and well taken care of at all times. His warm personality, quick response to any request, and constant smile truly elevated the entire dining experience.

The entire crew worked with heart and dedication, always ready to help with a smile. This cruise was not just a trip — it was a memory that will stay with us forever.

I highly recommend this Nile cruise to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, world-class service, and unforgettable hospitality. We will definitely return again!

Cons:

Everything was perfect

Fantastic cruise with exceptional food and value for money
Pros:

Overall, a really nice cruise. Friendly staff, really nice rooms and AMAZING food on board (3 times a day + tea time). The upper deck has a nice little pool. We also ate in the open air 2/4 nights and had Nubian performers on the final night. The room was cleaned twice a day exceptionally. Really good value for money.

Whilst we share some comments for improvement below, overall our experience was really good and would recommend to others.

Cons:

Most people book this cruise via travel agents as a package and booking.com guests can feel a little left behind, for example:
- no contact by the company before our arrival at all, we had to actively reach out to them once in Luxor to get picked up from the airport
- the daily agenda (e.g. meal times) is heavily influenced by what package holiday guests are doing

Note that booking here doesn’t include a guide and you have to get one either in advance or on the ship at $400 per person for the 4 days.

Nile cruise for a smoother Egypt experience
Pros:

General experience:
• Nile cruise is a great, easy way to explore Egypt’s main sites. Provides a more smooth experience by cruise since it’s a rough country to visit. I’ve visited 60+ countries and it’s somewhere at the bottom.
• Don’t overspend on luxury, you wake up around 4 a.m. and spend most time sightseeing before the sites get super busy.
• Ship mainly used for meals and rest.
• Room was simple, clean and comfortable enough.
• Staff was helpful and organized, waiting staff cut fresh ginger carefully when I had a sore throat. Reception employee made sure to call me for lunch or before early morning tours, attentive!
• Older kitchen staff were friendly and upbeat, made a nice pasta arabiata.
• Waiting staff attentive and accomodating; cleaning staff quiet and fast.
• Food was allright. Drink bottled water (also for brushing teeth).

Sightseeing:
• Historical sites were beautiful and very impressive.
• Having an organized guide, driver, and a breakfast box I could take with early morning tours helped a lot.
• Evening belly dancer show on the ship was fun and beautiful

Cons:

• Poor internet: Wi-Fi on the ship and in many areas is non-existent or unreliable. Buy an unlimited eSIM through the Airalo app before arriving in Egypt, it makes a huge difference.
• Sites around temples are quite dirty, hassling and haggling can be exhausting. But that’s in general.
• Excursions not included: All guided site tours cost extra (around $400 USD) upon arrival. Abu Simbel is not included either.
• First arranged guide was poor: gave limited info, and tried cross-selling overpriced tours (e.g., Abu Simbel for $300 USD).
• Better value found independently: Booked the same Abu Simbel trip via TripAdvisor for less than half the price.
• Repeated questions from multiple staff members where my “husband/boyfriend” was (including the first question when I arrived on the boat) staff sometimes stared and chuckled, felt unprofessional.
People seemed quite confused both at checking in and checking out, poor English of the guy at checking out. After 20 minutes it turned out he had not called a driver yet, since he didn’t understand my question.
• Noise issues: Very thin cabin walls, loud voices and shouting at night (especially around 3–4 a.m. in Arabic when we were sailing that night) disturbed sleep.
• Big on tipping culture: requests for tips from staff, drivers, and guides, even after tipping at reception.
• Several staff members asked for a 10 star review, which felt forced. To ask for a review is perfectly fine, but don’t dictate what somebody should rate.
• Due to above, realistically three stars in service quality by Western standards, as for Egyptian standards probably higher.

Une expérience inoubliable..a refaire sans hésiter
Pros:

Que dire.. tellement tout était Parfait.
Prise en charge a nôtre hôtel a Luxor par Mr Izaac qui nous a tout expliqué jusqu'au bateau le Tia.

Tout le personnel d'une extrême gentillesse, souriant, attentionné et serviable a toute heure.

Des buffets digne de grand hôtel..énormément de choix avec produits de qualités..des jus frais karkadé, goyave ou mangue a tomber 😋

Belle chambre conforme aux photos..Spacieuse avec son petit salon, et baie vitrée qui s'ouvre.
Merci encore a Ahmed pour l'entretien de celles-ci et de découvrir de jolie décorations sur le lit.

Merci a Mr Mohamed le Directeur pour son accueil et sa bienveillance..
mais chut 🤫

Passeio imperdível em um barco perfeito para seu propósito
Pros:

Passeio fantástico e imperdível se você vai ao Egito! O navio não é grande, mas é muito confortável e o staff impecável! A cabine é super espaçosa e limpa (como todas as instalações do navio), com chuveiro excelente e box grande, janelas amplas com vista pro Nilo e cama muito confortável. O barco conta com um lobby bar agradável, uma pequena piscina com espreguiçadeiras e um amplo solarium, com bastante espaço para que os passageiros possam aproveitar o sol. O restaurante é muito bom, sempre com diferentes alternativas que permitem a todos os diferentes paladares ter ótimas refeições. O serviço na piscina, restaurante, bar e o cuidado com a arrumação dos quartos são ótimos, sempre com competência e cortesia. Além de tudo isso e de nos buscar no hotel em Luxor e nos levar ao aeroporto após o último dia, ainda permitiram que pudéssemos esperar confortavelmente no navio durante o final do nosso último passeio (15:00 hs) e o horário de saída para o aeroporto (18:30 hs), ou seja, um SUPER late checkout! Nosso guia Mohamed também era ótimo, proativo e atencioso. Fizemos o Cruzeiro de 4 noites em julho, a ocupação do navio estava bem baixa, o que aumentou ainda mais o conforto. Recomendo de olhos fechados esse navio, serão dias tranquilos e divertidos, com muita história e visitas incríveis a cada parada!

Cons:

Não há nada de fato que eu não tenha gostado, mas 2 sugestões de melhoria que me parecem importantes: (1) a academia é muito pequena, na verdade uma saletinha com uma esteira e alguns poucos pesos. Seria interessante algo um pouco maior para estimular o uso. (2) O pessoal do spa destoa dos demais funcionários (que são incríveis!). São chatos, insistentes, provocam constrangimento e irritação por insistir mais de uma vez por dia que você faça algum tratamento, da mesma forma que se comportam os vendedores de rua. Super tranquilo que possam apresentar seu serviço e tentar vendê-lo, mas no segundo dia já haviam irritado a nossa família e alguns outros hóspedes com sua insistência e irritação.
