Launched in 2022, Viking Osiris is the newest and most purpose-built ship on the Nile from a major international river-cruise line — designed from scratch for this specific river, in Viking’s recognizable clean Scandinavian style.
The ship carries 82 passengers and is part of Viking’s 12-day “Pharaohs & Pyramids” program, which pairs the Nile cruise with land touring in Cairo, including the Grand Egyptian Museum, and a genuine police-car escort through Cairo’s notoriously difficult traffic. Three onboard Egyptian tour guides accompany excursions at every port.
Guests get a genuine police-car escort through Cairo’s traffic — part of Viking’s standard logistics for this itinerary.
Sold as part of a 12-day land-and-cruise program rather than a standalone cruise. Bookable directly through Viking River Cruises.
