Viking Mississippi sails this route from the Port of New Orleans 2 times in the window we track. Each one runs 14 nights. It finishes in Louisville (Kentucky) rather than back in New Orleans, so check flights home before you book.

The ship calls at Baton Rouge (Louisiana), Natchez (Mississippi), Vicksburg (Mississippi), Greenville (Mississippi), Memphis (Tennessee), Paducah (Kentucky), and Owensboro (Kentucky). We record which ports a sailing visits, not the order it visits them in, because the running order changes from date to date.

Departures run from Tue, Jun 1, 2027 to Tue, Oct 26, 2027. The cheapest recorded starting fare is $12,798 per person, which works out at $914 a night.
