AAA Traveler - Fall 2020 - 3

BECAUSE SOMEDAY I'LL...
CRUISE THE MISSISSIPPI

Flowing from a lake near the Canadian border,
ending in the Gulf of Mexico - 2,350 miles in all
- the mighty Mississippi River is like America's
backbone. Native Americans camped beside
the river. Lewis and Clark crossed it. Mark Twain
piloted a steamboat on it. It's memorialized in
the timeless song "Ol' Man River."
A voyage on the river, such as one of Viking
Cruises' new Mississippi River itineraries - sailing
in 2022 - remains a Huck Finn-style adventure,
a chance to explore a panorama of American
history and culture.
Watch as small towns, vast rows of crops,
high rocky bluffs and deep forests pass by
your ship, as well as birds of all kinds. About
40 percent of North American waterfowl and
shorebirds rely on the Mississippi Flyway as
their migratory route. You may spot pintail
ducks, swans, pelicans, double-crested
cormorants, bluebirds and eagles. Stop at a
port near Wabasha, Minnesota, and visit the

Decorah, Iowa. Here you'll explore Vesterheim,
the Norwegian-American Museum & Heritage
Center. Follow that with a local brewery tour,
bring home some heirloom seeds from the
world-renowned Seed Savers Exchange or pedal
along a bike path through the gently rolling hills.
Further down the river is Hannibal, Missouri,
the setting for Mark Twain's most famous books.
You can explore the author's boyhood house and
other museums devoted to Hannibal's history.
Continuing down the Mississippi, the scenery
transforms. Bayous and wetlands thick with
cypress trees appear. Stop at Memphis to hear
authentic blues, savor tangy barbecue and
experience the National Civil Rights Museum,
housed in the building where Martin Luther King,
Jr. spent his last hours.
In New Orleans, where Cajun, Creole and
French influences blend into a complex cultural
stew, learn to make jambalaya and pralines and
stroll through the French Quarter, basking in its

National Eagle Center to learn more about our
country's majestic symbol.
Other highlights of the Scandinavianinfluenced upper Mississippi include craft beer,
cheese curds and polka music. Come ashore
in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, for an excursion to

steamy, festive atmosphere.
Meanwhile - as the song says - that ol' man
river, he just keeps rolling along. The river flows
past New Orleans, and about 100 miles later, it
meets the Gulf of Mexico and disappears.
- Suzanne Bopp
