Nile Cruise on the new Viking Osiris
15 Jul 2024

Viking Osiris is a real discovery for travel on the Nile River. Designed and built by Viking in partnership with Egyptian companies specifically for sailing the Nile, Viking Osiris is equipped with all modern amenities so you can explore the world in comfort and luxury.

The liner is well equipped: large cabins, many cozy corners and platforms for observing the Nile. The shore excursions are exciting and the crew is completely passenger focused.


On board Viking Osiris



The Viking Osiris is elegant and understated, reflecting modern Scandinavian design. The vessel feels bright and open with floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere you look. A glass-roofed atrium in the center of the vessel, visible from all decks, makes the overall space even brighter and more spacious.

On Viking Osiris you will find a cozy library, a sun deck with a swimming pool and an Aquavit terrace with a lounge for pleasant lunches.
The liner is decorated with unique photographs of everyday life in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century.


Cabins on the Viking Osiris



The cabins on the Viking Osiris are spacious, regardless of category. They have all the modern amenities, from heated floors in the bathrooms to USB charging ports.

A quarter of all staterooms are true two-room suites, including two huge Explorer Suites. These cabins are among the most well appointed on the Nile, with cozy living and sleeping areas.


Meals on the Viking Osiris

All dishes are carefully thought out and prepared by Swiss chefs using the freshest ingredients. Egyptian treats are especially excellent here.
Don't miss the Egyptian dinner, where traditional dishes from the region are served in a homemade style, such as the incredibly delicious date cake. This will be the real hit of your cruise.

Whether you dine in the main restaurant or on the Aquavit outdoor terrace, you can always enjoy wine, beer and soft drinks, which are included in the price of the cruise during lunch and dinner.



What to pack for a cruise on the Viking Osiris

In Egypt, women often wear headscarves or abayas and generally dress modestly. If you choose to wear shorts or short dresses, you may feel uncomfortable, especially if you plan to visit religious places. You will be more comfortable and avoid sunburn if you pack more covering items and look for linen and breathable fabrics.
A sun hat or shawl is a must-have.

The ship follows a dress code similar to what is customary to wear at the resort. Typically, men prefer linen trousers and shirts, while women prefer dresses of different styles.


Excursions

Your Viking Osiris cruise includes at least one shore excursion every day, and they're really fun. Professional guides who know everything about Egypt will take you to all the main attractions, including the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, Abu Simbel, the temples of Luxor and Karnak and much more.
Plus, you'll have the option to choose premium excursions such as a visit to Tutankhamun's tomb or sunrise hot air balloon rides in the Valley of the Kings.
