Viking Announces New Egypt<br />
Ship and Privileged Access<br />
Experiences for 2020<br />
Viking has recently announced an<br />
expansion of its Egypt program for the<br />
2020 season, which will include the<br />
launch of a new ship. Inspired by the<br />
design of the award-winning Viking<br />
Longships and built specifically for the<br />
Nile River, Viking Osiris is currently<br />
under construction and will double the<br />
company’s owned capacity in Egypt<br />
when it debuts in September 2020. Also<br />
launching in the next year are two new<br />
Pre-Cruise Extensions designed to<br />
enhance guests’ base knowledge of<br />
Egyptology prior to arriving in Cairo.<br />
These five-day extensions to Viking’s<br />
Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary will provide<br />
guests with Privileged Access to<br />
archives and exhibits in London and<br />
Oxford that are not normally accessible<br />
to the public. This announcement comes<br />
as Viking guests continue to express<br />
strong interest in Egypt – and just one<br />
year after the company launched Viking<br />
Ra, a completely renovated vessel and<br />
Viking’s first owned and operated ship<br />
on the Nile.<br />
Viking Osiris<br />
Hosting 82 guests in 41 staterooms,<br />
Viking Osiris will be a state-of-the art<br />
ship with the clean, elegant<br />
Scandinavian design for which Viking is<br />
known – and will join the company’s<br />
other ship on the Nile, Viking Ra, which<br />
launched in 2018. Viking is the first and<br />
only Western company to build, own and<br />
operate ships on the Nile.<br />
