    Everything was very well organized, we had no complaints. As for the food, in general it was average, but the Egyptian day was definitely the best; a pity they only prepared it once.

      Will the boat be Le Fayan 11 next October? If yes, can you provide feedback on noise and vibration from engine room, and concerns about maintenance and cleanliness?

      Next October's Nile cruise not yet confirmed. We carefully select boats known for comfort, cleanliness, and service.
