Owned and operated by Viking, Viking Aton is a brand new sister ship to Viking Osiris, purpose built to navigate the Nile with the clean, elegant Scandinavian design Viking is renowned for. Launched in 2021, this intimate vessel accommodates just 82 guests across 5 decks and 41 cabins, delivering the refined comfort and highly personalized service that define Viking cruising on the Nile. The ship state of the art design emphasizes light filled public spaces, seamless flow, and clever uses of space to maximize views of the river while maintaining a calm, yacht like atmosphere. Public areas invite socializing and quiet reflection after day long explorations: a refined lounge, panoramic observation spots on several decks, and intimate corners for reading or conversation. Viking Aton onboard enrichment program complements onshore discoveries with history focused talks, cultural demonstrations, and culinary experiences that bring Egypt past to life in an elegant, accessible way. On board you will enjoy comfortable dining experiences celebrating regional flavors, thoughtfully designed cabins, and easy access to the river surface from multiple vantage points. Practical details include EU 2 Pin 220v electrical plugs with adapters not provided, reflecting Viking practical approach to cruising.
