Cruise Overview

Few cities are more aptly nicknamed than New Orleans, but the slower pace of life in ‘The Big Easy’ also extends along the length of the Lower Mississippi, taking you deep into the heart of the American South, where the Antebellum era of the 19th-century reveals its secrets amidst shifting landscapes.

Let the river be your guide on this enchanting cruise upstream as each port-of-call conjures simpler times.

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

Enjoy authentic local cuisine and feel the quintessential welcome of southern hospitality in Vicksburg and Natchez.

In New Orleans, revel in the jazz clubs of Bourbon Street and in the ‘Blues City’ of Memphis, walk in the footsteps of Elvis Presley.

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