Viking Sobek Cruises

Sobek – the crocodile god.

Viking Sobek is a modern Nile River ship designed to deliver an intimate and enriching journey through Egypt’s ancient landscapes. Carrying just 82 guests, the ship offers a relaxed and personalised cruising experience, combining contemporary Scandinavian design with destination-focused enrichment. Sailing between Luxor and Aswan, Viking Sobek provides a comfortable and elegant base for exploring iconic temples, monuments and cultural sites along the Nile.

Viking Sobek is purpose-built for navigating the river and reflects Viking’s signature approach to river cruising. The ship features clean Scandinavian design, with light-filled interiors, elegant public spaces, and a layout that maximizes views throughout the journey.

With only 41 staterooms, the onboard atmosphere is calm and uncrowded, allowing guests to fully relax between guided shore excursions. Public spaces such as the panoramic lounge and Aquavit Terrace provide ideal settings for taking in the passing scenery, while the sun deck offers a pool and comfortable seating areas for enjoying the warm Egyptian climate.
