Departures: 4
From: $15,498

Viking Mississippi sails this route from the Port of New Orleans 4 times in the window we track. Each one runs 21 nights. It finishes in St. Paul (Minnesota) 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), Cape Girardeau (Missouri), St. Louis (Missouri), Alton (Illinois), Hannibal (Missouri), Burlington (Iowa), Dubuque (Iowa), La Crosse (Wisconsin), and Red Wing (Minnesota). 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, Jul 6, 2027 to Tue, Aug 15, 2028. The cheapest recorded starting fare is $15,498 per person, which works out at $738 a night.
