Viking has announced a new ship as part of an expansion of its Egypt programme for the 2020 season.
Designed specifically for the River Nile, Viking Osiris is currently under construction and will double the company’s capacity in Egypt when it debuts in September 2020, joining Viking Ra, which launched in 2018. The ship will be able to host 82 guests in 41 staterooms.
Also launching in 2020 are two new pre-cruise extensions designed to enhance guests’ base knowledge of Egypt before arriving in Cairo. They will have privileged access to archives and exhibits in London and Oxford not normally accessible to the public.
