The boat itself, decorated in a comforting minimalist Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic consistent amongst all Viking Cruises, is equipped with two restaurants, a sprawling sun deck and a plunge pool. Menus serving delicious international and local flavours change daily so there’s no risk of growing bored on board, but it’s the small touches, like the generous supply of bottled water available on the excursions and the cocktails and cold towels awaiting us upon our return that make the experience feel truly luxurious. After traversing the Nile for week, the friendly, attentive staff soon become like family.
You see, luxury might mean five-star accommodation and stellar service, but on top of excelling at both, the most luxurious thing Viking Cruises offers is peace of mind. They allowed us to have complete trust that our guide would show us the absolute best the country has to offer, all while keeping us safe, informed and hydrated.
