Viking Holdings Ltd announced on October 11, 2024, the delivery of its newest ship for the Nile River, the Viking Sobek. This 82-guest vessel was presented at the Massara shipyard in Cairo, Egypt, and is designed to navigate the Nile River for Viking's 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary.
The Viking Sobek is an identical sister ship to the Viking Osiris, Viking Aton, and Viking Hathor, featuring Scandinavian design and an indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace. This delivery contributes to Viking's growing fleet in Egypt, a region with strong demand for its voyages.
Viking plans to further expand its Nile River fleet by welcoming four additional ships in the next two years, specifically the Viking Amun and Viking Thoth in 2025, and the Viking Sekhmet and Viking Ptah in 2026. This expansion will bring Viking's total fleet on the Nile River to 10 vessels, significantly increasing its operational capacity in this key destination.
