Last few week I received a number of enquiries for our luxury Nile Cruise boat the Ms Mayfair which was slightly strange in that I don't normally get so many requests for a specific boat. However one of the enquirers let slip that they had seen an offer on Secret Escapes and were checking prices as well as trying to obtain further information on the Ms Mayfair.
This has happened previously where another of the so called "member only travel clubs" were advertising the same boat but when members had phoned the travel club they had no real knowledge of the Ms Mayfair so the members ended up calling Atp Travel Ltd and in some cases booking with us.
I am sure that these member only travel clubs do offer some great value holidays and deals but do prospective holiday makers really think they are getting a deal booking with them?? As an example below are comparisons on the current 7 Night Luxury Nile Cruise deal being offered by Secret Escapes and the current best prices for the same cabin with Atp Travel Ltd for the next 6 departures.
Departure date Secret Escapes pp Atp Travel pp
18/02 £1279.00 £1269.00
25/02 £1289.00 £1279.00
04/03 £1199.00 £1180.00
11/03 £1284.00 £1255.00
18/03 £1219.00 £1204.00

The most Luxurious Nile Cruise
You often see on trip advisor new posts asking for advice on what is the most luxurious/best Nile Cruise and then the various replies list their favourites and reasons for it. In general the same boats appear and luckily ones offered by Atp Travel, Ms Farah and Ms Mayfair are most often included.
The truth is that it is impossible to say which is the best or most luxurious as most of the top end luxury boats are quite similar in a lot of ways and it can come down to style and décor as the deciding factor. Of course there are several Nile Cruise boats sold at large prices - Alexander the Great and Sanctuary Nile Adventurer - that would definitely fall into the top luxury Nile Cruise list. But for the extra money you would pay for these boats would it be worth it?
Most Nile Cruise boats are the same - length, width, height, have 1 restaurant, 1 large lounge bar, 1 sun deck bar and several shops/boutiques. The newer/luxury ones will sometimes have some form of spa area, a second smaller lounge/bar area and a second smaller lounge/quiet area. Also on the luxury Nile Cruises the décor will be of a much higher standard - some boats costs over $10,000,000 - the service standard much higher as well as the meals of which at least dinner will be a la carte.
However for all of this, is still worth paying possibly an extra £1000.00 per person for a weeks Nile Cruise? Of course some people will think its worth it or be convinced by a good sales person, but it definitely does not have to be the case.
At Atp Travel we believe in offering affordable priced luxury Nile Cruises and our clients during November have testified to this.

Luxury Nile Cruises
As the winter Nile Cruise season starts we are seeing a rise in demand for Luxury Nile Cruises. These boats are generally the same size as those of lower standards but are normally much newer, have superior facilities a higher level of service and also of cuisine.
One question we get asked frequently is whether the extra cost is justified against other boats and if a Luxury Nile Cruise offers value for money. Although not an easy question to answer part of our reply will always include the statement "what you pay is what you get" and we explain this by saying that it is possible to have a great Nile Cruise holiday on a 5* or 5* superior boat but as these boats tend to be older and are being sold at a lower price there are other factors that can have an effect.
On Nile Cruises of a lower standard or price, the quality of the food and standard of the cabin is generally not as good. For the food this can mean a lot of repetition of meals, less choice and lower quality. For the cabins, these may not have as many facilities, the windows may not open and they may also be alot smaller. Also where boats are sold at a much lower price there is more of a tendency to push sales and other extra revenue making opportunities which can have an adverse effect on the holiday.
The modern Luxury Nile Cruise boats are truly floating hotels and offer an oasis to return to after a long but enjoyable days sightseeing.
Cabins are of a generous size and all will have fully opening windows to enjoy the Nile floating by. Bathrooms will be equipped with showers and bathtubs and finished to a very high standard. The lounge bars and public areas will provide a very relaxing and comfortably area to enjoy a drink or just to relax. The restaurants will serve a superb choice of meals and most will now serve dinner as a la carte. The sun decks will offer sumptuous day beds and relaxed sofas to soak up the sun. Many now also offer spa and health facilities.
Atp Travel Ltd feature 3 of the newest and most luxurious boats on the Nile, Ms Farah, Ms Mayfair, Ms Esplanade as well as the Luxury Creative Dahabeyas.
Prices start from just £899.00 pp and include return flights, 7 nights full board, transfers and sightseeing itinerary.
