THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER - NEW ORLEANS
TO MEMPHIS
Lower Mississippi River Cruises aboard the American Queen
JEWELS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI - Explore the land of bawdy
blues and Southern belles. This journey showcases the diversity
and drama of the Lower Mississippi River. From New Orleans to
Memphis, the river rolls slowly and expansively, smooth as a southern
drawl. The bayous and woodlands along the shore create dramatic
landscapes that are virtually unchanged since the days of the French
fur traders. Gracious towns with palatial mansions and tree-lined
streets abound. History is everywhere - in silent Civil War cemeteries,
in the soulful gospel blues of Helena and virtually everywhere you
turn in Memphis, best known for jazz, barbeque, and of course The
King of Rock and Roll and his home at Graceland.
Day 8 - Helena, Arkansas: An eventful
day begins with a drive through the
picturesque Cheery Street Historic
District.
Days 9 & 10 - Memphis, tennessee:
After disembarking the American Queen
in Memphis enjoy an additional three

Jazz, Soul and the Blues. Visit the Rock
and Soul Museum before heading to
the legendary Sun Studio. Don't forget
to take a stroll through the Historic
Peabody Hotel to see the world famous
Peabody Ducks.
