Viking Ra

SHIP OVERVIEW

Owned and operated by Viking, Viking Ra is the newest, most upscale ship in Egypt. Specifically built to navigate the Nile, she was completely stripped down to her steel frame and reconfigured to be a modern, elegant vessel. Fully re-imagined to international standards and Viking design specifications, she is now an all-suite, state-of-the art ship with the clean, elegant Scandinavian design for which Viking is known blended with local influences like traditional geometric Arabic patterns. Accommodating just 48 guests, she offers the ultimate in comfort.

We loved this vacation. Extremely well educated guides and we learned so much. Each tour was better than the next. The cruise staff were fantastic as well and food was excellent. We highly recommend Viking to all our friends interested in river cruising.

Viking Ra

JANUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

New ship, beautifully designed and furnished

CONS

WIFI

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall, a very pleasant experience. The WIFI is weak and limited to one device at a time per stateroom. Viking should boost the WIFI capabilities on the ship. We prefer all inclusive pricing, which Viking does not offer. Having to pay extra for gratuities and alcohol does not enhance the travel experience.
