Cruise Overview

Cruise into the heart of the Antebellum South on this magical journey along the meandering Lower Mississippi, taking you downstream from the musical Mecca of Memphis, to the equally iconic ‘Big Easy’ of New Orleans, while around every crook of the river, the era of Mark Twain’s America awaits.

Revisit the stomping grounds of some of the greatest musical legends in history, including the King himself, Elvis Presley, whose former wife Priscilla is Godmother to our very own American Queen.

In Vicksburg and Natchez, enjoy authentic local cuisine and feel the quintessential welcome of southern hospitality.

In Nottoway and St Francisville, discover historic mansions and pre-Civil War history.

In New Orleans, relax in the cafes and restaurants of the atmospheric French Quarter, or revel in the Jazz Clubs of Bourbon Street.

Whether aboard your Paddlewheeler or exploring ashore, there is no better way to discover the true soul and magic of the Mississippi.
