Viking Mississippi
Viking Mississippi: Rolling on the river in summer 2022
When it launches in August 2022, the 386-passenger Viking Mississippi will bring Viking's flair for understated Scandinavian design and stellar service to Mississippi river cruising.
The purpose-built vessel will operate voyages along the Lower and Upper Mississippi River, traveling from New Orleans to St. Paul, Minn., and points in between.
Guests on board are in for a generous dose of Americana with traditional culinary favorites and shore excursions that seek to convey the history of the region. All passengers will have outside staterooms with either true step-out balconies or French balconies.
Some of the amenities popularized on Viking's ocean ships are in store, such as the two-story Explorers' Lounge observation area, the Aquavit Terrace for dining and just hanging out; an infinity pool and sun deck; and a new area called the Bow, an outdoor seating area set in front of the Explorers' Lounge with sweeping views of the river.
Viking includes a lot in its basic fare, and that will the case on Viking Mississippi. There's no extra charge for beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; specialty dining is complimentary; Wi-Fi access if free and guests get at least one complimentary shore excursion per day.
