Tom Trovato and his wife, Trish, paid more than $20,000 and waited two years to experience Viking’s inaugural cruise up the Mississippi River.
Leaving in September 2022, it was supposed be a two-week excursion from New Orleans to St. Paul, Minn., a trip of some 1,800 miles.
Though they got a full refund, the Trovatos, who live in Surprise, Ariz., have no plans to try again.
“If I live to be 125, it might be on my bucket list,” said Mr. Trovato, 79.
The Mississippi River is central to American identity, with all the contradictions that entails.
