Viking has added two new river ships to its fleet.
The 190-guest Viking Honir will sail the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers in Europe, while the new 82-guest Viking Thoth will explore the Nile River in Egypt.
“We are proud to welcome the Viking Honir and the Viking Thoth to our growing river fleet,” says Torstein Hagen, chairman and chief executive officer 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," Hagen continued.
Viking’s fleet will grow even larger in the coming years. The company expects to take delivery of 23 additional river ships by 2028 and 10 additional ocean ships by 2031.
With these orders, Viking will have 112 river ships in 2028 and 23 ocean and expedition ships in 2031.
