There's a new Nile River Cruise Boat, and believe me, the Nile needs some new ones. I know first-hand, as I've been there, done that. I did have the opportunity to sail on one of the nicer boats, but viewed soooo many old, old ones. At times I wondered how they were held together.  

The River Tosca, by Uniworld, is a beautiful, 82-passenger luxury ship. She sailed her maiden voyage just a month ago. The lobby and lounge areas exemplify modern Nile luxury. The marble lobby floors with Arabesque detailing lead to a wood-paneled lounge with a colonial Egypt feel, complete with club chairs. A sophisticated, Arabesque shisha/cigar and game room houses an impressive collection of Egyptian literature. The cabins are roomy designed in Uniworld's trademark boutique-hotel design. Cabins have all-white armchairs, decadent fluffy beds, and marble bathrooms. The sundeck, complete with pool and shaded cabanas, is a blissful location to watch the Nile River gliding by.

Egypt is one of our most popular destinations. The beautifully intact and complex hieroglyphics tell all the stories dedicated to a multitude of pharaohs and Egyptian gods. Whether you take an Egypt tour, a Nile River cruise, or a combination of both, Think Egypt for 2010. It's awesome.
