Viking (NYSE:VIK) announced on October 26, 2026 that its new 19-day Grand Nile Journey is now open for booking, with departures beginning in 2028. The company described the itinerary as its most in-depth exploration of Egypt to date. It features four hotel nights in the capital and a 14-night sailing between Cairo and Aswan aboard the all-suite Viking Ra, a vessel built specifically to navigate the Nile River.

Route and Guided Tours

The itinerary includes 17 guided tours and begins in Cairo, where the program covers the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Middle Egypt stops include the Meidum Pyramid, the Noblemen's Tombs of Beni Hasan, the remains of the royal capital founded by Pharaoh Akhenaten at Tell el-Amarna, and the Deir el-Muharraq monastery, which the company linked to Egypt's Coptic Christian heritage.

Further south, the route takes in the temples of Luxor and Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Seti I at Abydos. In Aswan, guests can visit the island temple complex of Philae and the monolithic temples at Abu Simbel, and sail the Nile in a traditional felucca. Chief Executive Officer Leah Talactac said the voyage gives guests more time to explore Egypt's history and culture.

Ship, Extensions and Booking Terms

The Viking Ra hosts 52 guests in 26 suites. Pre and post land extensions can be combined with the itinerary: two nights in Cairo, five nights in Morocco, or four nights in Jordan covering the Dead Sea, Petra and Amman.

From now through October 31, 2026, Viking is offering U.S. residents reduced airfare, special fares and a $25 deposit for the Grand Nile Journey as part of its Fall Sale.

Why This Could Matter

The new itinerary adds to Viking's existing Egypt offerings, which include the 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary and the 12-day Total Eclipse on the Nile voyage scheduled for 2027, which the company said is sold out. Earlier in October, Viking named its two newest ships in the region, the Viking Ptah and the Viking Sekhmet. The company now operates a fleet of 10 vessels in Egypt and expects to take delivery of two additional vessels in 2028.

Wrapping Up

Viking has opened bookings for a 19-day Egypt itinerary built around 17 guided tours, a 14-night Nile sailing and four nights in Cairo, with departures from 2028. The company operates 10 vessels in Egypt.
