About Viking Aton
Viking Aton is an 82-guest Nile ship of the Osiris class, built, owned and operated by Viking, and it entered service in 2023. It is named for an ancient Egyptian sun god. For 2026 and 2027 Viking schedules it mainly on Pharaohs & Pyramids, which pairs hotel nights in Cairo with an eight-day Nile round trip from Luxor to Aswan, plus a Total Eclipse on the Nile departure in 2027. The design borrows from Viking's Longships, with a square bow, an indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace, a pool on the top deck and 41 staterooms that include two Explorer Suites.
