Viking Cruises

Dear Traveller, It is my pleasure to extend an invitation to join us for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the heart of ancient Egypt along the storied waters of the Nile River. With a history spanning more than 5,000 years, Egypt continues to inspire awe and wonder. I have travelled to this remarkable country many times, and each visit has deepened my admiration for its beauty and profound cultural legacy. Now, there is even more to discover. One of the most interesting additions is the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, home to a vast collection of antiquities including the treasures of King Tutankhamen. We will now be including a visit to this much-anticipated museum as part of the itinerary. On our immersive 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary, you can: • Explore the new Grand Egyptian Museum • Visit the Great Pyramid of Giza with an opportunity to ride a camel • View the grandeur of Karnak and Luxor Temples • Take an optional hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings and Queens—a personal favorite of mine • Tour inside the tombs of Tutankhamen, Ramses IV, Seti I and other legendary rulers • Sail the Nile on board a traditional felucca or visit the iconic temples of Abu Simbel on an optional excursion Our commitment to Egypt continues to grow. In 2026, we will welcome the Viking Sekhmet and the Viking Ptah, bringing our f leet to 10 ships on the Nile. By 2027, we will expand to 12 modern vessels—I believe the most elegant f leet of any line on this legendary river. For the first time, we are offering departures as far ahead as 2028, giving you more choice and f lexibility to plan your perfect journey. Thank you for your interest in Viking. We look forward to welcoming you on board.
