New to the Viking Mississippi is the Explorer's Lounge and bar, which is a two-level recreational and educational space that offers front-row views of the sailing voyage as it's located at the bow of the ship.

A page from "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" makes a fitting backdrop for stairs on the Viking Mississippi. Other stairwells feature illustrations of maps of the lower Mississippi on the walls.
