Viking has taken delivery of its newest river ships – the Viking Honir, which will sail the Rhine, Main, and Danube Rivers and the Viking Thoth, which will sail on the Nile River. The delivery ceremony for Viking Honir took place in Basel, Switzerland, while the Viking Thoth was delivered at the Massara shipyard in Cairo, Egypt.

“We are proud to welcome the Viking Honir and the Viking Thoth to our growing river fleet,” said Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking. “With the arrival of these elegant new ships, we are pleased to offer even more curious travelers the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most iconic waterways in Viking comfort.”  

Viking Honir accommodates up to 190 passengers in 95 staterooms and is identical to the rest of the Viking Longship fleet. Viking Thoth can hold up to 82 guests in 41 staterooms and is an identical fleetmate to Viking Osiris, Viking Aton, Viking Sobek, Viking Hathor, and Viking Amun.
