From New Orleans to Louisville · Europe (River) · 14 nights
Launched in 2022, the state-of-the-art Viking Mississippi brings Viking’s trademark Scandinavian style to America’s greatest river for the first time.
Purpose-built for the Mississippi and inspired by Viking’s
existing river and ocean fleet, this exciting ship offers
itineraries on both the Upper and Lower Mississippi between St Paul
and New Orleans. All accommodation comes with a French balcony or
step-out veranda, there are three dining venues with plenty of
outdoor seating, and the beautifully designed public areas include
the two-storey Explorers’ Lounge and Bar, a 360-degree promenade
deck and the Sun Terrace with infinity plunge pool.
New Orleans is a city with real soul, an exuberant, infectious sort of place where music fills the air every night of the week. Festivals and parades are a regular occurrence, with the highlights including Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. There's also plenty to feast your eyes on, such as the charming historic architecture of the French Quarter and the elegant mansions of the Garden District. Food is another real highlight, with lip-smacking Creole specialties such as gumbo, jambalaya and the legendary po-boy sandwich.
