On April 17, 2025, Viking Holdings Ltd announced the 'float out' of its newest ship for the Nile River, the 82-guest Viking Amun. This event, held at the Massara shipyard in Cairo, marks a significant construction milestone as the ship touched water for the first time.
The Viking Amun is scheduled to begin sailing in September 2025 and will join Viking’s growing fleet on the Nile River, operating the popular 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary. This addition will enhance Viking's capacity in a high-demand region.
The company plans to welcome five new ships in Egypt over the next two years, which will bring Viking’s fleet on the Nile River to 12 vessels by 2027. The Viking Amun, an identical sister ship to others in the fleet, features Viking's signature Scandinavian design.
