European River Cruise with Viking River Cruises

Discovering Europe on an intimate river cruise was on our travel wish list for many years. So it should not come as a surprise that we jumped at the opportunity to explore Portugal’s celebrated Douro Valley with Viking River Cruises.

The tour we did is called  Portugal’s River of Gold . It’s a 10 day itinerary that begins in  Lisbon  and ends in Porto (more about the itinerary here ).

We have cruised on the big ocean ships before. In the Caribbean (read here ), Mexico (read here ) and Alaska (read here ). We knew this European river cruise would be a very different experience, and that’s exactly what we hoped for.

If you’re thinking about taking a European river cruise for the first time, you likely have a lot of questions. We certainly did. What are the rooms like? How is the food? What is included? Not included?

This blog post reviews our Portugal river cruise aboard the Viking Osfrid.

We took this river cruise in May of 2018. We updated this blog post in Feb 2024.

Viking River Cruise, Portugal Douro River

The Viking Osfrid ship

European river cruise ships are quite different from the mega-ships that cruise the ocean. River ships are designed to fit inside river locks , so the ships are long, thin and typically only 3 stories tall.

We traveled on the Viking Osfrid , which was designed specifically for the Douro River. The locks on the Douro River are smaller than locks found on the bigger European rivers, like the Danube and Rhine . Therefore, Viking has a small fleet of ships built specifically for these Portugal cruises.

The Viking Osfrid is only a few years old. It’s well maintained and has a clean, modern decor. The ship, in our opinion, is comparable to a luxury hotel. Only smaller.

The Osfrid is quite intimate, which was a highlight for us. It’s easy to meet people yet spacious enough to have quiet time alone. We prefer this type of cruise ship over the big ocean ships. On a river cruise, you’re not competing with hundreds of other passengers to eat, drink or find seating on the sundeck. We found it to be much more calm and civilized.

The pool on the sundeck of the Viking Osfrid

Nobody used this pool during our trip. It was quite cool in the evenings and it was too windy when the ship was sailing in the afternoon. If the ship had a hot tub it may have had more visitors, but I’m not so sure.

You should still bring your bathing suits, just in case.

Plenty of tables and chairs on the sundeck. No need to get up early to save your chair.

Coffee station. Staterooms on the Osfrid do not have coffee machines inside the room.

If you want coffee or tea, this is the place to get it. Throughout the day, this station is stocked with a variety of pastries, like cookies, croissants, muffins and coffee cake.

The ship has one elevator for those with mobility issues. It also has a small gift shop.

The lobby lounge on the Viking Osfrid

Every evening, before dinner is served, an orientation about the next day’s adventure is given by the Cruise Director in this lobby lounge.

On this particular evening, the bar staff prepared a variety of colorful cocktails for guests sample. If you look closely at the bar, you can see a number of drinks available on the table in front of the bar.

Wine and beer is included during lunch and dinner.

Cocktails and specialty drinks are NOT included (additional charge).

European river cruise, Hallway on Viking Osfrid, Portugal, Douro River Cruise

This is the Hallway leading to our room.

Our room is located on the 3rd floor (Upper Deck). There are 53 staterooms on Viking Osfrid.

The gangway, lobby lounge and reception are on the 3rd floor (this floor). The restaurant is on the 2nd floor (or Middle Deck).

Below is the deck plan for the Viking Osfrid .

Stateroom 321, Viking Osfrid, Portugal River Cruise

Stateroom on the Viking Osfrid

The rooms on a river cruise ship are compact but you have plenty of room for storage. We stayed in a Veranda Stateroom – Room 321 on the deck plan above. The room is 185 sq ft, with a hotel style bed (queen size) that can also be converted to two singles. It has a floor to ceiling sliding glass door that opens to a full size veranda that has two chairs and a table.

Here’s a video we produced that shows you what the room looks like.

The private bathroom includes a rain shower with good water pressure. We always had hot water available, even during peak times. The room was updated daily with shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soap.

Inside the stateroom is a telephone, safe, hair dryer, mini-refrigerator and 40 inch flat screen TV featuring movies on demand plus the major TV networks like CNBC, CNN, National Geographic, etc.

We like that each room has climate control so you can adjust the room temperature. Voltage in the room is compatible with 220V and 110V along with a number of different charging outlets, including 4 x USB ports.

Wifi is free and readily available. Bottled water is replenished daily.

We LOVED watching the landscapes pass by from the comfort of our room.

When the ship was moving, we would open the blinds and door and let the world pass us by. The fresh breeze and sound of water splashing gently against the boat creates a magical atmosphere.

Do you need a balcony on a European River Cruise?

One of the advantages to river cruising is that most rooms on a river cruise ship come with a balcony. 

River ships are not very big and they have width limits, so they can squeeze through those tight river locks. Because of this, balconies on river vessels are quite small. They are wide enough to fit one chair facing sideways (see photo above). It’s a tight space.

We like having a balcony. However, we actually did not use it very much.

When in our room, we open the door to let the breeze come through. We did enjoy having a glass of wine on our balcony in the afternoon. But the reality is that we only sat on the balcony a few times during the trip.

The sundeck is a short walk from your stateroom and there are always chairs and loungers available. We prefer to spend our time there. That way, we can walk from side to side and capture the moving landscapes.

Sometimes the attractions are on the opposite side of the ship. You don’t want to miss out and only see what’s happening on your side of the river.

How is the food on a Viking River Cruise?

We really enjoyed the dining experience on the Viking Osfrid.

Every day there is a new menu with a la carte options. Lunch and dinner are 3 course meals, with an appetizer, entree and dessert.

There is one local dish from Portugal. Every day is different, so there are plenty of options. Wine and beer are included at lunch and dinner.

There are a few items that remain standard every day, like hamburgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. There is typically a small buffet available at lunch and dinner. This buffet has salads, appetizers and desserts.

Breakfast is a typical European buffet spread. You can also order fresh items off the menu. Options included eggs Benedict, fried eggs, sausages, French toast, etc. There is also an omelette station.

Viking caters to guests with allergies and dietary requirements.

Below are a few photos of our meals. I don’t remember what everything is. Therefore, I’ll let the photos do the talking.

Food on Portugal River Cruise with Viking

One evening was a buffet with a variety of Portuguese cuisine. See above.

Every menu has a seafood option. We enjoyed many delicious fish dishes on the cruise.

The dining room on the river cruise ship

The dining room on the river ship is not very big. Most of the tables are for 4 to 8 people. On the Viking Osfrid, there was only 3 tables that were set for 2 people.

Don’t assume you will always dine on your own. You will likely be seated at a table with other guests.

Everyone dines at the same time. There are no assigned seats.

It’s not like an ocean cruise where you can go to the buffet when you are hungry. Dinner starts at 7:00 PM. If you miss dinner, there aren’t a lot of options for you. Don’t be later for dinner.

We don’t mind dining with others. However, our preference is to dine alone.

The purpose of this trip is to spend some quality time together, without kids. Fortunately, there was one table that became “our table”. It’s funny how people are programmed. Most guests dined at the same table, with the same people.

Sometimes the players would change, but generally the seating remained consistent.

Are alcoholic drinks included?

Yes, for the most part. Soda, wine and beer are available during lunch and dinner, and they are included in your cruise package. They also have champagne and orange juice to enjoy breakfast mimosas.

If you prefer to have to have unlimited specialty drinks, you can purchase an additional beverage package. It includes an upgraded wine list and all cocktails. Service is available most of the time.

You should know – if you purchase wine or alcohol during your excursions, you are allowed to bring it back on the ship and consume it on-board. This is a nice feature. We purchased wine from the vineyards and enjoyed it on the sundeck in the evening.

How much time is spent cruising on the river?

This actually surprised us the most. Our cruise did not spend a lot of time actually sailing up and down the river. You can read our detailed itinerary here .

The ship acted more like a mobile hotel. It docked every evening, so there was no travel at night. Our first night on the ship was spent docked in Porto and we also spend two nights docked at  Barca d’Alva . The longest amount of time spent sailing on the river was about 4 hours.

The reason for the limited sailing time is because the navigable part of the Douro River is not very long. It’s less than  250 kilometers from Porto to Barca d’Alva.

Read about what we did on our Portugal river cruise here .

Valeira Dam, River Lock, Douro River Valley, Portugal River Cruise

River Locks on the Douro River

The Viking Osfrid went up and down 5 different river locks while on our Portugal river cruise. This was the first time we passed through locks of this size. They are huge!

The lock at Carrapatelo Dam rises up 115 feet (35 meters) and the lock at Valeira Dam rises 109 feet (33 meters). We were told that these are some of the tallest river locks in Europe.

If you watch this video you can see a time lapse of us passing through one of these river lock.

It’s an interesting experience. We made sure to be on the sundeck every time we passed though the river locks on the Douro River.

Valeira Dam, River Lock, Douro River Valley, Portugal River Cruise

Approaching the Valeira Dam

The river lock is located on the right side of Valeira Dam, in that big concrete box with the black door that resembles a garage door.

The ship approaches the lock and the door opens. It then enters the lock compartment and the doors close. The lock fills with water and this lifts the ship. Once it reaches the top, the opposite side door opens and the ship departs at the higher level (or lower lever if the ship is going down).

How do River Cruise Ships dock?

If you’ve never been on a river cruise, or seen how they dock, it’s actually quite interesting. The ships often dock right next to each other, essentially connecting to each other. You may need to walk through the lobby of one or more ships before getting to your ship (see photo below).

It’s actually a fun way to check out the layout and design of the other river cruise ships.

We asked the crew how the order of docking is determined. We’re told the order is based on what ship is departing first. That ship parks on the outside, or furthest from the dock.

At some point during the river cruise you might dock next to another ship.

This may limit your view or put the ship in a position where another window (from a different ship) is looking directly into your room. It’s temporary, but worth mentioning. You should close your blinds when this happens.

Unlike the mega-ships that cruise the ocean, getting on and off the river cruise ship is very easy.

The Viking Osfrid docks each evening.

Therefore, we were able to get off the ship in the evenings and wander around the port town. Typically the big ocean vessels sail at night, so you don’t have this option.

Viking asks that each time you get off the ship you take an information card with you. You get this card from reception when you depart the ship and return it to reception when you arrive on the ship. This helps the crew understand who is on (or off) the boat at all times.

Will you get sea sick on a river cruise?

If you’re prone to seasickness you will enjoy river cruising. The ships rarely rock back and forth. In fact, it was difficult to tell when the ship was moving.

This Portugal river cruise  on the Douro River was not choppy at all.

Quite the opposite. If you look at the above image, you can see how calm the water is. It’s like glass. Because this river runs through a steep valley, it is mostly protected from the wind.

One night, when docked at Barca d’Alva , a thunderstorm passed through the region. Although we could see the lightning, and hear the thunder, our ship remained calm and we didn’t feel any rocking.

European river cruise, Viking Osfrid, Portugal, Douro River Cruise

Is there entertainment on a European river cruise?

Most European river cruises have entertainment in the evenings, just don’t expect elaborate shows like the ones found on a big ocean cruise ship. The lobby lounge had a musician who performed at cocktail hour and after dinner.

During our Portugal river cruise , the entertainment options varied each day. We were able to learn about olive oil production and the production of cork, there was a live cooking demonstration about Pastel de Nata , and a presentation about Portugal’s history and the Douro River and Region.

We spent most of our time either on an excursion, exploring the town where we were docked, or on the sundeck enjoying a glass of wine.

At cocktail hour, the Cruise Director spends 30 minutes talking about the next day’s activity. We attended these presentations each evening, but that was really the only time we joined an on-board activity.

Related –  Lisbon exceeded our expectations. Here’s what we did.

viking river boat cruise europe

What is the demographic on a River Cruise?

Yes, it’s true. Most passengers on European river cruises are in the 55+ year old demographic. This is not a young audience. We were definitely the youngest people on the cruise.

If you’re worried about the age demographic, don’t be.

We did not feel out of place or uncomfortable. We had fun with the other guests on our excursions and enjoyed the conversations. The reality is that we spent most of our time doing our own thing, so it really didn’t matter.

One evening, an older woman in her 70’s approached us at cocktail hour. “I wanted to come and say hello because I’m worried about you”.

“Why would you be worried about us?”, we replied.

“Well, you’re clearly hanging out with the old folks. I want to make sure you don’t feel isolated or uncomfortable”.

It was a sweet gesture. She watched us dining alone each evening – which was by choice – and thought we were not making friends. This worried her greatly. We got a chuckle out of that.

We noticed many of guests were making friends on the ship.

Social interactions are a big part of the cruising experience for this older demographic.

We were on a completely different page. We enjoyed the brief interactions but our goal was to spend time together. 

The point I’m making, is that the river cruise experience is built for everyone. Except kids. Leave the kids at home!

It would be a big miss if you decided against a river cruise because the demographic tends to be older. We had a great time and we look forward to doing another European river cruise in the future.

viking river boat cruise europe

Are excursions included on a Viking River Cruise?

Yes, daily excursions are included on the Portugal’s River of Gold  tour with Viking. Every evening, the Program Director goes over the next day’s options for excursions. Guests are also provided the Viking Daily , a printed document that details the next day’s itinerary.

Daily excursions are included with the cruise price. There are also optional excursions that have an additional cost. Guests will either join the included excursion, purchase an optional excursion, explore the town on your own, or spend the day aboard the ship.

We like that Viking uses local guides. The guides on our tours had extensive knowledge about the area and attractions. One guide is dedicated to each coach, so you’ll get to know your guide well over the course of the cruise. Each coach had about 25-30 people.

Guests are provide a QuietVox audio system ( watch this video to see what they look like – fast forward to 5:08). Each night, you are expected to charge your QuietVox audio system.

viking river boat cruise europe

Do you need to tip on a river cruise?

Yes, and No. Gratuities are not included in the cruise price.

Of course, tipping is very much appreciated by the staff (and expected). However, you do not need tip after every meal or excursion. You do not need to tip after every room cleaning, either.

You do not need to bring small cash with you.

Instead, you simply add a daily rate to your room and pay with your credit card when you check out. These gratuities are distributed among the ship’s staff, including the servers, kitchen, house-keeping and tour guides.

We gave the recommended tip, which is 15 Euros per guest, per day.

We prefer to tip this way because it’s easy and fair. The service was very good, so this daily rate was reasonable.

Viking River Cruise coach, Lisbon to Porto

Are transfers included on Viking River Cruises?

Yes, all transfers are included.

When we arrived at Lisbon airport it was easy to spot the Viking representative once we cleared Immigration. She held a red Viking sign and was wearing a red Vikings shirt. We were escorted to a driver who took us directly to our hotel, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa .

Guests are transported from Lisbon to Porto on a nice coach (see photo above). Our group is separated into 3 different coaches. We use similar coaches for daily excursions.

At the end of the cruise, Viking provides transportation from the ship the Porto airport. We decided to stay an extra night in Porto. Viking helped organize the taxi to our next hotel. We covered the cost of this.

Note – if you choose to stay an extra day in Porto, you will disembark the cruise ship no later than 10:00 AM. We arrived at our hotel early and the room was not ready. We expected this. Plan to leave your luggage at the hotel and keep yourself busy until at least 3:00 PM. It’s easy to find things to do in Porto .

viking river boat cruise europe

What did we think of this Portugal River Cruise?

We thoroughly enjoyed our Viking River Cruise. It exceeded our expectations. I believe everyone should experience the luxury and simplicity of a European river cruise. At least once in their life.

We look forward to discovering new destinations with Viking River Cruises. Their service and attention to detail is top notch. We would recommend the  Portugal’s River of Gold  cruise.

With that said, we must disclose that we teamed up with  Viking River Cruises  in order to make this trip possible. Our cruise was complimentary. We agreed to share our honest, firsthand experience on this blog and social media channels. Read our disclaimer  here .

Your descriptions are accurate and a fun read. While my Viking experience was on the Elbe River on a similar ship, I hope to get to the Douro one of these days. I plan to share this with friends who are considering a Viking river cruise.

Sean O'Neill , Skift

April 30th, 2024 at 6:37 PM EDT

Wednesday's IPO will value Viking, an operator of luxury river and ocean cruises, at roughly $10 billion. Leaders in the luxury travel sector will be eyeing the move closely.

Sean O'Neill

Viking , an operator of river and ocean cruises, and a group of shareholders were set to raise more than $1 billion in an initial public offering on Wednesday.

When the stock begins trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol VIK, the Bermuda-based luxury travel company anticipates that the price per share will be between $21 and $25.

The company and its shareholders will offer 53 million shares .

10 Facts About Viking’s IPO and Strategy

  • The IPO will enrich chairman, CEO, and co-founder Torstein Hagen, 81, who will control a slim majority of Viking shares. The public debut will make Hagen worth roughly $5 billion , according to Bloomberg estimates.
  • Hagen began Viking in 1997 with four river ships. Today, the company sails 80 river vessels, averaging 190 passengers each. It also has nine ocean-sailing ships, which typically hold about 900 passengers, making them relatively smaller than traditional ocean vessels. The company has three other vessels, such as those used to cruise the Nile in Egypt.
  • Viking wasn’t profitable last year. It reported a $1.86 billion loss in its 2023 fiscal year. But it said that was related to one-time losses. The company reported about $1.09 billion in adjusted EBITDA in its SEC filings.
  • The company targets well-off travelers, typically those above age 55. Its average revenue per passenger last year was $7,251.
  • The company stands apart from traditional ocean cruise lines. Don’t expect to see water slides or casinos on board. Small children are often banned.
  • The company claims it served one out of four luxury cruise-goers on ocean cruises last year out of a market of about 1.1 million. Competitor brands include Oceania, Silversea, Seabourn, and Regent.
  • The company claims to have served one out of two river cruise travelers last year, out of a market of 700,000 passengers. Rivals include Grand Circle.
  • About 90% of Viking’s guests are from North America. Most of its cruise ship itineraries are in Europe and Antarctica, but it has routes worldwide.
  • Viking said it may use some of the capital from the IPO to help expand its offerings to land-based tours and excursions. It will also use some of the capital to pay down its debt, which was $5.4 billion in December.
  • Viking has 24 new ships on order, with options for 12 more. It plans to enter China and other markets.

For more on the company, see Viking’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission . Analyst Jess Peterson has crunched other key numbers.

The 7 Best Mississippi River Cruises for 2024

T he more than 2,300-mile Mississippi River invites travelers to discover its multifaceted heritage, with a vast range of deeply rooted culture, music and history. A cruise is a fantastic way to discover many of the riverfront cities on a single trip, from the comfort of your modern riverboat or traditional paddle-wheeler.

The following Mississippi River cruise itineraries can help you choose from cruises of various lengths and options for the Lower and Upper Mississippi. Note that all fares are listed as double occupancy (based on two people per cabin), and that they might not reflect taxes, port fees or gratuities. The itinerary availability listed is also subject to change.

American Cruise Lines

American Cruise Lines operates small ships accommodating between 90 and 180 passengers that are built, flagged and crewed in the U.S. – and it's the only company in the world operating a 100% U.S.-flagged fleet of riverboats and cruise ships. ACL's itineraries traverse waterways across 35 states, with 11 itineraries dedicated to the Mississippi River. Cruisers can choose to sail on modern riverboats with a sleek interior design or while away their time aboard classic paddle-wheelers reminiscent of days gone by.

ACL offers variety as well as versatility: This line boasts both the longest and shortest sailings on this list with cruises ranging from eight to 60 days in length, including The Great United States. This inaugural 60-day voyage spans four major rivers and 20 states, making it the longest U.S. river cruise in history.

Complimentary hotel and transportation packages are available from every departure city before your cruise. You can book certain premium packages for added perks, such as two nights spent next door to Graceland in Memphis – with VIP tickets and a city tour included in the price.

Music Cities Cruise

Length: Eight days

Price: Starts at $3,610 per person

Spend a week getting lost in the sounds of the Memphis blues, rock 'n' roll and country music legends on the seven-night Music Cities Cruise. A hotel stay the night before your sailing is included, but embarking in Memphis means you also have the chance to splurge on a two-night pre-cruise package near Elvis' former home Graceland .

Ports of call include Paducah, Kentucky; Dover, Tennessee; and Clarksville, Tennessee, with an overnight in Nashville and an included excursion to a show at the Grand Ole Opry. Two scenic sailing days feature picturesque views of America's Heartland along the Mississippi, Ohio and Cumberland rivers as well as Lake Barkley.

2024 dates: In 2024, there are two available itineraries in September and November.

Grand Heartland Cruise: St. Paul to New Orleans

Length: 15 days

Price: Starts at $9,455 per person

This 15-day voyage allows you to explore America's rich history in towns along the Upper and Lower Mississippi River. The immersive voyage covers six states and 12 cities including St. Paul, Minnesota ; Dubuque, Iowa; St. Louis, Missouri ; Memphis, Tennessee; Natchez, Mississippi; Baton Rouge, Louisiana ; and more.

Take a step back in time while visiting Mark Twain's boyhood home in Hannibal, exploring stately historic estates in Natchez and Civil War sites in Vicksburg. At the end of a busy day ashore, you'll have plenty to chat about with fellow passengers during the evening cocktail hour.

2024 dates: American Heritage – ACL's traditional paddle-wheeler – and three modern riverboats set off on this journey from August to October in 2024.

Complete Mississippi River Cruise: New Orleans to St. Paul

Length: 22 days

Price: Starts at $14,935 per person

If you want to see the entire Mississippi in one shot, check out this multiweek sailing that begins in New Orleans and ends in St. Paul, Minnesota. Along the way, you'll sail 1,393 miles, visit 10 states and experience a staggering 20 ports of call as you tour Louisiana and then head northbound to Minnesota.

In the South, walk the battlefields of the Civil War and sample delicious Southern barbecue before listening to the rhythms of jazz, the blues and rock 'n' roll. Then, explore the small and larger cities along the upper parts of the river. Remember to take time to gaze out at the picturesque scenery and the rolling farmlands of America's Midwest before disembarking in St. Paul.

2024 dates: Three of ACL's modern riverboats sail this itinerary in May, June and August in 2024.

The Great United States

Length: 60 days

Price: Starts at $51,000

This two-month long journey – the longest domestic itinerary ever created – will check all the boxes for U.S. history and Civil War buffs, music and nature lovers, culinary enthusiasts, and beer and distilled spirits aficionados alike as the ship traverses America's iconic waterways through 20 states and 50 ports of call.

This epic journey showcases the natural beauty and living history of the U.S. from sea to shining sea. The sailing embarks in Portland, Oregon , on the Pacific Coast before traveling east to the Atlantic shore along four major rivers that highlight some of the country's most stunning coastlines. Upon arrival in New York Harbor, guests will have an unforgettable view of one of the most iconic landmarks in the U.S.: the Statue of Liberty .

Passengers can follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark along the Snake and Columbia rivers; cruise along Ol' Man River in search of Mark Twain and Elvis; see the vibrant colors of fall during peak season on the Hudson River; and take in the coastal breezes (and fresh seafood) along New England's rocky coastline.

This curated adventure also includes two flights: Jackson, Wyoming , to New Orleans as well as St. Paul to Portland, Maine , plus a land package through Glacier , Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. All-inclusive pricing covers the pre-cruise hotel stay, all flights and hotels between cruise segments, an ACL jacket and gear pack, daily excursions, all meals and beverages, gratuities and port charges, entertainment, and Wi-Fi.

2024 dates: The inaugural cruise sets sail on August 16, 2024.

Viking River Cruises

Viking is no stranger to sailing Europe's rivers; the brand is synonymous with river cruising worldwide aboard its dozens of ships. However, Viking River Cruises is a newcomer to U.S. rivers, with its purpose-built ship: the 386-passenger Viking Mississippi. Looking to carve out its own niche in the American river cruising category, Viking claims it has the region's "first truly modern cruise ship" with its distinct Scandinavian design and expansive top sun deck with an infinity plunge pool.

Viking's mostly all-inclusive fares include a complimentary excursion in each port, destination lectures and performances, beer and wine at meals, free Wi-Fi, specialty coffees and teas, and more. The line offers five itineraries ranging in length from eight to 22 days along the Mighty Mississippi. Pre- and post-cruise extensions can be added to all voyages for an additional expense.

New Orleans & Southern Charms: Round-trip from New Orleans

Price: Starts at $3,999 per person

If you don't know which Viking Mississippi itinerary to choose, start here. A round-trip voyage from New Orleans is convenient for booking flights and offers an excellent opportunity to extend your stay in NOLA. Six guided tours are included across eight days, from the historic estates of Natchez to Vicksburg National Military Park. A stop in St. Francisville gives you the chance to marvel at some of the 140-plus buildings it has on the National Register of Historic Places.

If you extend your stay in New Orleans, plan to sample the local Creole cuisine and take in some of the city's nightly jazz entertainment. In the morning, grab a beignet and a steaming cup of chicory coffee au lait at the original Café du Monde in the French Market.

2024 dates: This itinerary is available on select dates in February, November and December.

Heart of the Delta: New Orleans to Memphis

Length: Nine days

Price: Starts at $4,299 per person

Similar to its round-trip New Orleans Southern Charms itinerary, the Heart of the Delta cruise begins in New Orleans and calls on the same five ports, before sailing through the Lower Mississippi and disembarking in Memphis. Enjoy scenic views of the serpentine river route – perhaps with expert commentary or a local cooking demonstration – and then take time to explore the birthplace of the Memphis blues, which is also a center of civil rights history.

2024 dates: In 2024, this cruise is available in February, March, April, May, June and November.

America's Great River: St. Paul to New Orleans

Price: Starts at $12,999 per person

This Viking voyage sails from St. Paul to New Orleans on a two-week trip that calls on 13 ports with one day of scenic sailing. This itinerary combines the best of Viking's other Mississippi sailings for an all-encompassing Midwestern and Southern experience with 12 guided tours.

Included in the fare is a tour of Graceland; a stroll through small-town Burlington, Iowa, to see Snake Alley, deemed the most crooked street in the world; and a visit to the National Eagle Center of Red Wing, among others. For an additional fee, hop on an airboat ride through the Atchafalaya Swamp in Baton Rouge or tour the Anheuser-Busch Brewery of St. Louis.

2024 dates: Viking has availability for this itinerary in July, September and October.
