About Viking Amun
Launched in 2025, the Viking Amun carries 82 guests across five decks in the clean Scandinavian style Viking is known for. Accommodation runs from Standard Staterooms of 21.6 m² and Veranda Staterooms of 22.2 m² to Veranda Suites of 38 m² and two Explorer Suites of 62.9 m², all outside-facing.
Meals are served in the Restaurant behind panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, with the indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace and Lounge for casual, buffet-style dining. A main lounge and bar open through floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and the ship adds a library and an onboard shop, with an elevator between the Main and Pool decks. The Pool and Sun Deck offer 360-degree views and a shaded sitting area, and free WiFi reaches throughout.
The ship sails the 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary, a Cairo round trip of 11 guided tours calling at Luxor, Esna, Aswan, Kom Ombo and Edfu.
