Viking Takes Delivery of Newest Egypt Ship

On 20 August 2024 Viking delivery of our newest ship for the Nile River, Viking Hathor. The delivery ceremony took place when the new ship was presented at Massara shipyard in Cairo, Egypt.

The 82-guest Viking Hathor joins our growing fleet of state-of-the-art ships for the Nile River and will sail on the popular 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary.

“We are proud to welcome the Viking Hathor to our award-winning river fleet,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking.

“With its abundance of cultural treasures and ancient antiquities, Egypt has always been a destination of great interest to curious travellers, 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.”

Hosting 82 guests in 41 staterooms, the new Viking Hathor is inspired by Viking’s river and ocean ships with a Scandinavian design for which Viking is known.

An identical sistership to Viking Osiris and Viking Aton, Viking Hathor features several aspects familiar to Viking guests, such as a square bow and an indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace. Additional ships in the Egypt fleet include Viking Ra and Antares.
