AmaLilia

APRIL

Jordan was a wonderful, great guide, marvelous and friendly people, and a good itinerary including Petra and the Dead Sea. We felt safe and encourage people to visit the country. Since tourism is down because of the Israeli war, the sites were not crowded--a good time to go Egypt and the Nile cruise were equally wonderful. The guides were knowledgeable, and the people were friendly. Our itinerary included full days, but we felt rushed at the sites. We needed more time at the Pyramids and at Abu Simbel. We wish AMA would offer a night lighting tour of the pyramids as an option. We felt safe wherever we went. Everything was included from arrival to departure--we appreciate that when traveling in areas such as the Middle East. Below, the ratings for entertainment on board were minimal, but then this is a very small ship, and we did not expect much--we had full days of sightseeing. The ratings for activities--not sure what that means. There were a couple of activities on board during sailing, but again, we were happy for downtime between tours. Great food. Good time to go to both locations because tourism is down. This is an expensive tour--everything is first class, including the hotels.

DECEMBER

An excellent vacation, not cheap but worth the cost given the adventure. I am almost 78 years old and did not have any problems. There were some passengers both older and younger who all seemed to hold up. That’s not to say you should not pace yourself. Whispers are provided for all tours and there were many. Looking back, my wife and I will have found memories. No regrets. I believe the best time for travel in Egypt is in December and February after which time it starts to get hot, real hot. The hotel we stayed in Cairo was the St. Regis. It is a true 5 star hotel and highly recommended.

Wonderful staff and good food. The itinerary was great. Our room was good, comfortable bed, but wish there was more storage in the bathroom.

Another great experience on AMA! Can't say enough about the whole trip!

I felt so appreciated being aboard the AmaLilia. Everyone was so kind and attentive. The cabin was comfortable and the ship intimate. It was like I was among family.

A wonderful vacation. I felt very fortunate.

OCTOBER

Enjoyed the cruise, excellent boat and crew. All were professional and accommodating. A good two weeks!

JUNE

I was treated with respect and made to feel like I was a queen! I miss the staff and the culture and the "AMA" caliber of travel and treatment! It was so educational and interesting beyond words! I realized a childhood dream and would like to return for a visit of Alexandria and the Suez Canal area! Would highly recommend this entire trip!
