About Viking Hathor
Viking Hathor is an 82-guest Nile ship of the Osiris class, built, owned and operated by Viking, and it entered service in 2024. Its namesake is Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of fertility and motherhood. Its 2026 and 2027 departures are mostly 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. Built at Massara shipyard in Cairo and delivered in August 2024, it was named in Luxor that November with a descendant of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon as godfather.
