Both myself and wife wanted a Nile cruise and hadn't heard of and never used classic holidays before but was first website we got to after TUI let us down with prices and glad we did.We spent 7 nights on board and even though our intended ship broke down a few days beforehand Classic sorted it out with a different, really nice ship with no drama.As soon as we landed and were off the plane we were met by Orbital staff who sorted out our visa and helped with bags etc.On board we met our guide for the week Adel Youssef, who really took great care of his group of around 18 of us and shepherded us around like family and made everything feel safe and doable. It was pretty awesome. We didn't have any problems with diesel fumes as others have reported. We didn't get a room on top 2 decks as told we would but didn't moan about it as room was fine and it couldn't be helped as boat last minute change. It was nice to get tea and coffee in the room also.All the food was lovely and drinks were not expensive.Staff really took care of you onbaord and everything we needed was taken care of by staff or Adel. Their attitude is if you don't tell them then they can't sort it which worked really well, our fridge didn't work and within minutes staff swapped it out, no fuss just got it done.All the trips were amazing and well worth getting up early to beat the crowds with seamless organisation.We had great fellow travellers on board, met as strangers and left as friends.Next 4 days were spent in a resort in Hurghada and again transfer was great, no issues, hotel lovely. We were picked up from the hotel to Hurghada airport by Orbital travel rep right on time and rep took us right to front of airport door, great staff. Would I go back, probably not as other places to go, would I use classic holidays or refer them to friends, yes definitely.
