VIKING has announced new Mississippi and Ohio River voyages for next year, which are now open for booking.
The two new itineraries travel aboard Viking Mississippi, expanding the cruise line’s ports of call in the US, with the new 15-day ‘Bayous, Blues & Bluegrass’ itinerary operating between New Orleans and Louisville.
Travellers will explore the rich heritage of the Southern United States, birthplace of some of the country’s most beloved culinary and musical traditions.
Passengers will step into Civil War history at Vicksburg, enjoy the blues music scene in Greenville, sample smoky barbecue in Tennessee, and discover Kentucky’s legacy of craftsmanship, from baseball bats to bourbon.
Meanwhile, the eight-day ‘Mississippi & Ohio River Explorer’ itinerary journeys between Memphis and Louisville.
The cruise will sail on its two namesake rivers, winding past scenic wetlands, quaint towns, and storied cities.
Guests will discover the legacies of icons such as BB King and Elvis Presley in Memphis, and uncover Kentucky’s culture.
The two new cruises will join Viking’s four other American river voyages, which range between eight and 22 days. MS
