The ship is called Royal Lotus and is not owned by Viking but by Movenpick. It is similar to other river cruise ships we've been on, and along with all the other ships we saw on the Nile. The food was good although everyone in our tour group (24 of us) did get the "Mummy Tummy". I don' think this was the fault of the ship, but was probably one of the small restaurants we stopped and ate at during the bus tour portion of the trip. Two of the elderly people in our group were hospitalized for 4 days with amoebic dysentary. They have cheap medicine in Egypt to take for this with no side effects. Make sure you take it. It's called Nifuroxazide.
Everything Viking provided (hotels,guide,ship,buses,etc) were all first rate. The 5 star hotels were as nice or nicer than any you'd find anywhere else in the world. I feel that the itinerary covered all that you'd want to see of Egypt. I can't think of anything they should do different.
