About MS Antares
MS Antares is a classic-style Nile ship for 62 guests, owned and operated by Viking and last refurbished in 2018. The star Antares, its namesake, was linked with the Egyptian scorpion goddess Serket. Through 2027 it sails chiefly on Pharaohs & Pyramids, which pairs hotel nights in Cairo with an eight-day Nile round trip from Luxor to Aswan. Its staterooms range from 290 to 829 square feet, all with French balconies, and the ship has a sun-deck pool, a fitness center and a massage room.
