Dinner Cruise Full party & Show & Belly dancer in Sharm El Sheikh
The idea here is simple and fun: you get a night cruise on the Red Sea plus dinner and live entertainment in one package. The yacht is lit up for atmosphere, and you’re out on the water during the best part of the day in Sharm el Sheikh, when the heat eases and the sea turns calm and dark.
I really like the lineup, because it’s not just a background playlist. You can expect a full party-style show with a singer, dancer, violinist, and DJ, plus a belly dancer. One thing to keep in mind is that quality can feel uneven, including music variety and how dinner and show are run, so I’d go in with realistic expectations for a low-cost group night.
Key things to know before you go

- About 4 hours on the water, starting at 6:00 pm, perfect for an evening that doesn’t eat your whole day
- Hotel pickup and return included, which saves time and avoids taxi math
- A set dinner menu with fish or shrimp plus kofta or chicken, rice and pasta, and five types of salad
- Soft drinks all night with dinner (tea and mineral water), so you’re not hunting for drinks mid-show
- Party entertainment package with singer, dancer, violinist, DJ, and belly dancer
- Small max group size of 30, which usually keeps the vibe lively and manageable
The vibe: romantic dinner, but expect a party evening

This is a classic “do it all” Sharm el Sheikh night: you board a tourist yacht, sit down for dinner, and then you get live performers. The romance is real in the sense that you’re eating on a boat at night with lights and open water around you. But it’s also clearly set up as a fun group outing, not a quiet candlelit meal.
What makes it work is the combination of timing and setting. Starting at 6:00 pm lets you catch the evening light shift and then settle into the night cruise rhythm. You’ll spend your money on one ticket that rolls dinner, transport, and entertainment into one plan.

Price and what you should budget for
At $11.44 per person, this ticket is priced like a value-heavy group activity. The big reason is that the deal includes transport to and from your hotel, dinner, soft drinks with dinner, and the show elements.
Two cost notes matter. An environment fee of EUR 5 per person is not included, and extra fees can apply for birthdays or celebrations (an additional EUR 15 is listed). If you’re comparing prices, treat those as part of the true total so you don’t get surprised at the end.
Your evening plan, step by step (what happens in those 4 hours)

This tour runs one main stop, your cruise time in Sharm el Sheikh. In plain terms, you’ll go from hotel pickup to boarding, then dining and entertainment while you’re on the Red Sea.
1) Pick-up, check-in, and getting on board
You’ll get transportation to and from your hotel included, which is a huge quality-of-life win. Because the cruise starts at 6:00 pm, you should aim to be ready early, not right on the dot.
The boat boarding process is one area where experiences can vary. I’d plan to move carefully and keep an eye on personal safety when the group is getting on board, because one report I saw flagged that customer safety can be treated lightly during boarding. It’s not something you can control, but you can control your own pace and awareness.

2) Dinner on the yacht, with soft drinks included
Dinner is a set menu, so you’re not waiting around to order. You can expect fish fillet and shrimp, plus kofta or chicken, along with rice and pasta and five types of salad. Soft drinks are included during dinner, specifically tea and mineral water.
Here’s how I’d think about the meal. In this type of budget-friendly dinner cruise, the food is designed to be serviceable for a group, not a high-end restaurant tasting menu. Still, the menu choices are varied enough to keep most people satisfied, especially if you like seafood and want something filling without planning a restaurant night.
3) The show: singer, violinist, DJ, and belly dancer
This is the core entertainment package: a singer, violinist, DJ, plus a dancer and a belly dancer. The goal is to keep energy up the whole time, so expect it to feel like a party.
One caution from feedback I saw is that the music selection may not feel as varied or well-paced as some people hope. If you’re very picky about playlists and show production, go with a flexible mindset. If your goal is just to have fun, take photos, and enjoy the night atmosphere, the format usually delivers.
4) Cruising the Red Sea at night
The best part of the experience is the setting. You’re out on the Red Sea on a lit yacht, so even a simple meal feels like a “special night” instead of just dinner.
This portion is why the cruise is worth considering at all. A tour like this is less about a unique historical site and more about time, lights, and water. If you want a night activity that feels like a change of scenery, it’s a strong match.
Included perks that make a real difference
This ticket isn’t only the show. The extras are the part that makes it low-stress.
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
You don’t have to negotiate transport after the cruise, when it’s dark and the return ride can be chaotic.
- Dinner included with a specific menu
Fish, shrimp, kofta or chicken, rice, pasta, and multiple salads means you’re not gambling on “maybe there will be food.”
- Tea and mineral water included with dinner
That’s a practical way to keep the evening from turning into an expensive drink bill.
- Full party and show package included
The ticket covers the singer, dancer, violinist, DJ, and belly dancer elements. You’re buying a full evening, not just a boat ride.
What I’d watch out for before booking

The main caution is variability in the overall feel. One report complained about a mediocre dinner and a not-great spectacle, plus plastic-cup drinks and a boarding safety concern.
That doesn’t mean it will be bad for you. It does mean you should treat this as a fun, budget-friendly party cruise with live performances, where production style and meal quality can fluctuate.
My advice: come for the setting and the entertainment schedule. If you go in expecting a top-tier restaurant meal and perfectly polished show production, you’ll likely feel disappointed.
Who this cruise is best for

This fits well if you want an easy night in Sharm el Sheikh with a plan you can follow without searching for restaurants. It also suits people who enjoy group energy and live performers.
I think it’s a great match for:
- Couples who want romance with convenience, not a quiet dinner in a dining room
- Friends and small groups looking for a shared night activity
- First-time visitors who want to see the Red Sea at night without complex planning
If you’re looking for a calm, adult-only, low-noise experience, you might prefer a quieter cruise style instead. The party nature is part of the ticket.
How to get the most out of it

A few practical moves can improve the whole evening.
- Be ready a little early for boarding. Even if pickup is included, the group still moves on a schedule once you arrive.
- Eat dinner at the start of the meal period. With live entertainment happening, you’ll want to avoid getting distracted and then feeling rushed.
- Keep your expectations aligned with the price. For $11.44, you’re buying a full night experience, not a luxury fine-dining program.
- Take photos, but don’t overpack. Boats can feel crowded when everyone stands up for the show. Travel light if you can.
Should you book this dinner cruise in Sharm el Sheikh?

I’d say yes if your goal is a simple, affordable night out that combines dinner, Red Sea views, and live entertainment. The value is strong because hotel pickup, dinner, soft drinks with dinner, and a full show are all included, and the cruise length is only about 4 hours.
I’d hesitate only if you want a refined dining experience and a highly polished show. The hints of inconsistency in music variety, dinner quality, and even boarding safety mean this is better treated as a fun group event than a high-end production.
If you book it, go with the right mindset: you’re here for lights, water, and an evening that feels like a vacation, not a careful tasting menu.
