Viking Sobek

Viking Sobek, launched in 2025, is a brand-new sister ship to Viking Osiris, Viking Aton and Viking Hathor, expanding Viking’s Nile fleet with the same clean, elegant Scandinavian design and meticulous craftsmanship the brand is known for. Specifically built to navigate the Nile, this state-of-the-art vessel accommodates just 82 guests across five decks, guided by a dedicated crew of 48, delivering thoughtful service and a high level of comfort throughout the journey. With 41 contemporary cabins, the ship offers generous space and quiet refinement, while its compact footprint and sleek lines make port calls feel intimate and authentic. The Sobek’s best features include panoramic public spaces that frame Egypt’s river scenery, light-filled interiors, and a focus on seamless guest flow from embarkation to excursion departures, all designed to maximize ease and relaxation on board. Onboard activities blend Viking’s enduring enrichment program with Nile-specific experiences: expert-led talks and lectures that illuminate ancient temples and archaeology, curated tastings and dining experiences that highlight regional flavors, and a thoughtfully designed schedule of shore excursions to iconic sites, bustling markets, and lesser-known gems. To accommodate travelers’ needs, adapters are not provided on board, and no electrical plug types are available, so guests may wish to bring appropriate adapters. This ship is built for comfort and immersion, making every day a refined exploration of the Nile’s timeless wonders.
