Our
Nile cruise passengers come from all countries of the world, more from
Europe, but also from North America, South America and Asia, and naturally
they'll often keep the company of their own language and culture.
Your
patience and extra efforts to interact are sure to bear rewards.
Some guests from the USA did bring up the issue that in some cases the
boat did have 2 or 3 English speaking couples onboard, and that they
expected more !
Most sailings have a few native English speakers, though the numbers,
of course, vary by season, and are not guaranteed.
Other
Choices : Compare with:
DRESS
CODE : All of our Nile cruise vessels are fully air conditioned.
Onboard dress is casual except at dinner, when smart casual is the rule.
Lightweight cotton and other natural fiber clothing is best, with swimsuits
and sun hats for the sundeck and pool. Bring a light sweater or light
jacket for cool mornings and evenings, but most days are warm to hot,
with very little rain. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for shore
excursions.
What
others say about our tours :
Hello
Omar.
I hope you are ok. Well, what can I say. Every year the holiday just
gets better. Amazing. The Amarco 1 gets better and better. The staff
are so friendly its like being part of a family. They are truly lovely
people. To say we were well looked after was an understatement.
We
had a guide called Aly Hassan and I think he had the time of his life.
We told him to bring his sun tan cream and swimming trunks because we
had been everywhere and done everything. Well, how wrong we were. Aly
found places we had never been. Well done him. He really was a good
man.
Thank
you so much for great holiday Omar.
I
hope to call you again next year. Take care of yourself.
Best
wishes and more important great big hugs.
