Viking Mississippi

Marine Procurement is proud to be part of the team who delivered Viking River Cruises’ brand new river cruise vessel Viking Mississippi.

The state of the art, Jones Act compliant river cruise vessel was floated out in March from Edison Chouest Offshore’s LaShip shipyard in Louisiana. The 450 feet long and 75 feet wide vessel with 193 staterooms maximises energy efficiency using a diesel-electric propulsion system.

Eight CAT diesel engines power water cooled generators and six bladed thrusters from Voith provides propulsion power.

The Viking Mississippi will sail itineraries on the upper and lower Mississippi River between St. Paul, Minnesota and New Orleans, Louisiana.
