Viking boat Cruise Egypt Nile

Viking Nile river cruise - new boat Aton 80 or 90 passengers. Adults only. Accommodations and amenities on the Aton were wonderful. Spent several days in/around Cairo and several day on the river visiting venues. Would go again - Viking does a wonderful job, tour directors assigned to a specific group of about 25 guests and cater to any needs/requests. Took U$ dollars for pin money/tips, did not get Egypt pounds. Only used credit cards on the Aton or the hotels in Cairo. Learn/prepare to barter. Often trinkets were 1/2 price offered when leaving venues than when entering.Locals all expect baksheesh e.g. washrooms (tip/bribe) thus U$1. Austrian Air flights to Europe then Cairo were cramped cattle cars. Egypt Air Bombardier flights had good leg room. Had a wonderful trip. Will use Viking again.
