Viking River cruisers got the full Kentucky treatment in Henderson! From touring historic homes with cocktails in hand to sipping bourbon and tasting Homer’s BBQ at Hometown Roots, they were all smiles. Kings Highway brought the bluegrass, Silk Velvet poured the bourbon, and one guest loved it so much they got a tattoo. Another said, “This is a Hallmark town.” We couldn’t agree more. Thanks to everyone who made it magical!

American Cruise Lines docked in Henderson!!
We welcomed our river guests with the sweet sounds of bluegrass and took them on a guided tour through our historic downtown. The adventure ended at John James Audubon State Park where guests explored the museum, birdwatched in the park, and enjoyed a live raptor demonstration featuring Owliva the owl.
