    Taste of Egypt Cruise Review

    “A first class experience indeed! I went on this cruise with my wife for our Diamond anniversary. In all our 60 years of marriage we’ve never had such a genuinely stress-free holiday. Nobody was surprised to find me enjoying the on-ship lectures; they made a nice change of pace from all the exploring we’d been getting up to. We loved it. That’s something to check off the bucket list. Would recommend it one-hundred percent.”

    Robert Bakerson, Edinburgh
