On November 5, 2024, we named our newest river ships, the Viking Hathor and the Viking Sobek, with a special celebration in Luxor, Egypt.
The Hon. Edward Herbert served as ceremonial godfather of the Viking Hathor; his great-great-grandfather, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, was Howard Carter’s benefactor and co-explorer, whose excavation uncovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen near Luxor almost exactly 102 years earlier on November 4, 1922.
Mohamed El Banna, a member of the Egyptian Senate and the founder of Cosmos Egypt, our exclusive tour operator in Egypt, served as the ceremonial godfather of the Viking Sobek.
We invite you to join us on an upcoming Pharaohs & Pyramids sailing along the Nile River: https://explore.viking.com/4ikgak3
