About Viking Hathor
Delivered in 2024 and built specifically for the Nile, the Viking Hathor carries 82 guests across five decks in Viking's clean, understated Scandinavian style. Every one of her 41 staterooms is outside, ranging from 21.6 m² Standard Staterooms to two 62.9 m² Explorer Suites, and each comes with heated bathroom floors, premium Freyja toiletries and free Wi-Fi.
The 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary is a Cairo round-trip that threads Luxor, Qena, Esna, Aswan, Kom Ombo and Edfu, with 11 guided tours along the way. Onboard, The Restaurant frames the passing banks through floor-to-ceiling windows, while the indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace opens directly onto the river for casual meals.
A Pool & Sun Deck crowns the ship with 360-degree views and shaded seating, and the Main Lounge & Bar, library and onboard shop fill the time between temples. Laundry service and an elevator between the Main and Pool decks complete the ship.
