The New Standard of Luxury on the Nile

Unlike older retrofitted paddle steamers, Viking’s Egypt fleet — including Viking Osiris, Viking Hathor, and Viking Sobek — was designed from the keel up specifically for Viking guests.

Accommodating only 82 privileged travelers in 41 spacious outside staterooms and suites, these ships feature serene Scandinavian blonde wood, floor-to-ceiling glass, an infinity plunge pool on the sun deck, and an indoor/outdoor Aquavit Lounge.

Certified Egyptologists on Every Journey
Every single excursion to Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and Queen Nefertari’s tomb is guided by a fully accredited Egyptian Egyptologist, ensuring scholarly depth and privileged site access.
