Viking, the mammoth ocean and river cruise company, plans to “announce the newest and most ambitious river voyages in America’s heartland” at an event on April 7 at Mardi Gras World in New Orleans.
Viking first revealed plans to enter the U.S. river market several years ago, but the project was delayed.
It gained new life in recent months, as the company worked to secure dock space in communities along the Mississippi River.
Earlier this month, the Dubuque (Iowa) City Council approved plans to build a new dock, with the cost to be split by the city and Viking, according to a story by KWWL. The story also said the cruise ship would carry about 400 passengers and begin sailing in 2022. Viking also has made plans to visit Davenport, Iowa.
