Default Nile cruise

I did a Nile cruise in 85 and at that time the big cruise firms in Upper Egypt were hotel chains like the Hilton, Sheraton and Marriott. All were good.
Sorry, can't help on Viking.
A Nile cruise will wow you, especially if you are a history buff. I suggest reading up on Egyptian history before you go.
