Viking has taken delivery of its newest Nile River ship, the Viking Hathor, at the Massara shipyard in Cairo, Egypt.
The Viking Hathor accommodates 82 guests and will sail the 12-day Pharaohs and Pyramids itinerary.
The ship features signature Viking elements such as the square bow and the indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace.
The itinerary includes visits to landmarks in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and a Nile River cruise with stops at various historical sites.
Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking said “with its abundance of cultural treasures and ancient antiquities, Egypt has always been a destination of great interest to curious travelers, including our guests. We believe our ships are by far the most elegant vessels sailing the Nile River, and we look forward to introducing even more explorers to this fantastic destination in the years to come.”
