TIA Boutique Nile Cruise - Accommodation Only - Every Monday from Luxor for 04 & 07 Nights - Every Friday From Aswan for 03 & 07 Nights

Esperienza fantastica oltre ogni aspettativa! La nostra prenotazione era originariamente per la nave Tia, ma abbiamo ricevuto un graditissimo upgrade sulla Gemma. Personale straordinario per accoglienza e attenzione, con l'apprezzatissimo valore aggiunto di diversi membri che parlavano italiano. Cibo eccezionale e servizio impeccabile. Complimenti al direttore Assan: la sua grande professionalità e la sua calorosa accoglienza ci hanno fatto sentire a casa dal primo momento!

We travel extensively and usually organize everything ourselves, so we were very selective when choosing a Nile cruise. Many boats online present themselves as “5-star”, but the real difference comes down to service, food, and staff. After careful research, we chose TIA and it proved to be the right decision. The boat has been recently renovated: clean, modern, and well-maintained throughout. Cabins are spacious and comfortable, and the common areas are pleasant and always tidy. The food was a real highlight: varied, high quality, and well suited to international guests, including many Italians on board. The real added value is the staff: professional, attentive, and consistently helpful. A special mention to America, the restaurant manager, for the excellent service and attention to detail. The bar staff and overall organization were also very good. During the cruise, we booked a private guide, Abanoub, at $450 pp for the entire stay. Absolutely worth it. He followed us throughout the whole cruise, on every excursion, making the experience much more in-depth and well organized. Easy to organize independently. Many staff members speak Italian, which makes everything even smoother. Overall, a high-level Nile cruise with excellent service. Highly recommended.

WiFi can be a challenge in general during a Nile cruise. I needed to connect frequently for work during the day, and the onboard WiFi was not reliable enough for that. However, the boat manager quickly found a solution by providing a small portable device, which allowed me to work without any issues (thank you so much!). As a suggestion, installing Starlink would significantly improve connectivity and solve this problem altogether.

TIA was such a pleasant surprise! The room was in excellent condition, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a fantastic view of the Nile. It was one of the largest rooms on the Nile cruise ship, very clean, and the facilities were brand new. The ship sailed smoothly with almost no noise. All the staff here were extremely friendly and very helpful when you need some tour tips. The manager and chef provided us with perfect service. The meat at lunch was all delicious, and on Valentine's Day, they arranged a themed dinner with a great atmosphere. The top deck had a swimming pool and many lounge chairs, making it very comfortable to sunbathe and enjoy the breeze. The scenery on both sides of the river was wonderful. The minibar in the room provided free soda, milk, beer, and a bottle of sparkling wine. The cleaning staff also gave us a little surprise by improvising cute towel art. There were indeed very few Chinese guests. We chose this ship after comparing among many others, and it was a very comfortable journey.
