Viking has opened bookings for new 2027 itineraries on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Sailing on board the Viking Mississippi, guests can choose the new 15-day Bayous, Blues & Bluegrass itinerary, which operates between New Orleans and Louisville, with ports of call along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. A shorter option—the 8-day Mississippi & Ohio River Explorer itinerary—offers a journey between Memphis and Louisville.
“Wherever they are in the world, our guests are interested in the history, culture and culinary traditions of the destinations they visit,” Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking, said in a statement. “The towns and cities along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers are close to home for quite a few of our guests—and are fantastic destinations that many have yet to discover.”
