LOS ANGELES, March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viking® (www.viking.com) today announced its newest ship for the Nile River—the 82-guest Viking Hathor—was "floated out," marking a major construction milestone and the first time the ship has touched water. Set to debut in August 2024, the Viking Hathor will join the company's growing fleet of state-of-the-art ships for the Nile River and will sail Viking's popular 12-day Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary.

Key Points: 
  • "With the float out of the Viking Hathor, we look forward to welcoming more guests to experience this fantastic region."
  • The traditional float out ceremony of the Viking Hathor took place at Massara shipyard in Cairo and is significant because it denotes a ship moving into its final stage of construction.
  • An identical sister ship to the Viking Osiris and the Viking Aton , the Viking Hathor features several aspects familiar to Viking guests, such as a distinctive square bow and an indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace.
  • Viking will have six ships sailing the Nile by 2025 with the addition of another sister ship, the Viking Sobek , which is already under construction and will be delivered next year.

LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In bold defiance of convention and a powerful tribute to the impact of the Black community, artist and rapper Griot B, also the founder of School Yard Rap – which teaches true history to children through music written by Griot B – announces his Moor than a Month album to extend the celebration of Black history beyond February, and more importantly, beyond the confines of current educational curriculum.

Key Points: 
  • Moor Than a Month marks Griot B's ninth rap album to date and is dedicated to younger generations to empower them and celebrate Black heritage through music in a way they have never heard before.
  • "A major motivating factor behind this album is the fact that Black history is US history, and without Black people, we wouldn't have US history.
  • A month is important and appreciated, but just like one album could not contain all of the amazing contributions and stories of the African Americans, neither can one month," says Griot B.
  • Griot B himself is a testament to being a modern-day griot – a storyteller who bridges generations through the power of narrative and music.
