Viking River cruisers got the full Kentucky treatment in Henderson! From touring historic homes with cocktails in hand to sipping bourbon and tasting Homerโs 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, โThis is a Hallmark town.โ We couldnโt agree more. Thanks to everyone who made it magical!
