The

Viking Premiere Nile Cruise

Viking Premiere Nile CruiseThe 5 star Viking Premiere has just undergone a complete refurbishment.  It is due in service again any time now and promises to be an excellent choice to cruise the Nile upon.

The Viking Premiere is part of the same fleet as the excellent Royal Viking and we are told that the refurbishment is along the lines of the style of the Royal Viking.

We only have pictures of the newly styled cabins at the moment but as soon as we have the photographs of the rest of the ship we’ll post them here and on our Nile Cruise Ships page on the main Nile Cruises 4u website.
