PRE-SUMMER TRAVEL SALE • MARCH 7-21, 2020 STEAMBOATING ALONG THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI
TRAVEL
TM
A cruise along the Lower Mississippi River with American Queen Steamboat Company is a grand journey. These “Uniquely American River Cruises” aboard paddle-wheel steamboats venture from Memphis, Tennessee to lively New Orleans, Louisiana, along the way stopping in port cities rich in Southern history and culture on this Antebellum South itinerary.
On steamboating cruises up the Mississippi, guests see some of the grandest and most infamous sites
of the South, including centuries-old shaded oak trees, elegant Antebellum plantations and mansions, cotton fields, Civil War memorials, and former sugar plantations in the cities of Baton Rouge, Natchez, Vicksburg, Memphis and Greenville.
Experience the unique beat of Memphis – famous Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll. This vibrant city has been home to such legendary artists as B.B. King, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. Hear live jazz music on historic Beale Street, see Elvis’ Graceland and indulge in some delicious Memphis barbecue.
In Vicksburg, Mississippi visit Vicksburg National Military Park, which preserves the site of the American Civil War Battle of Vicksburg.
Louisiana is plantation country. Tour grand Nottoway Plantation with its lovely gardens and oaks. A costumed tour guide will lead you through the mansion’s spectacular rooms, describing the property’s history, including survival through the Civil
War. Visit Louisiana’s
St. Francisville with restored homes overlooking the river.
Explore the legacy of the
French Quarter in New Orleans,
which dances to the beat of the
Creole drummer. Take a carriage ride through the Garden District or a visit to the National
WWII Museum. Of course, you must sample some Cajun cooking!
All of these uniquely American sights can be enjoyed on American Queen’s steamboats in luxurious style, built in grand tradition with attention to décor. The Mark Twain Gallery on the American Queen features one of the most expansive collections of Tiffany glass in existence.
Feel like royalty in classically furnished staterooms with every modern convenience, and an all-American crew. You’ll be carefully looked after by your personal attendant while enjoying exceptional entertainment and indulging in regional cuisine along with just 200 to 400 other guests.
Mississippi River cruises range in length from five to 23 days. Pre-cruise hotel stays are included, as well as complimentary wine and beer with dinner, and shore excursions in each port.
