post: Cultural Capitals—Minneapolis & St. Paul From $849 | 2 nights
The “Twin Cities” share a pioneer history and progressive, multicultural spirit—plus a good-natured rivalry and pride in their distinctions. Take more time to gain a full picture of Minnesota’s favorite twins, from Minneapolis’s skyscraping downtown and superb art scene to St. Paul’s leafy grace.
Disembark and set out to discover Minnesota’s capital, St. Paul. See the Cathedral of St. Paul, modeled after Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Victorian mansions and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s birthplace along Summit Avenue. Your Viking Tour Director is available to help you plan your time here so you can make the most of your visit.
Today, visit Fort Snelling, a military outpost from the 1820s. Set at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers, learn the layered histories of the Native American, European and African peoples who settled here. After your tour, enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. (B)
