Ports of Call

Memphis (Days 1, 2, 3)

Memphis is a city in the southwest corner of the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Shelby County.
Attractions & Activities
Beale Street: Blues fans can visit Beale Street, which used to be the center of the Black community, where a young B.B. King used to play his guitar. He occasionally appears there at the club bearing his name, which he partially owns. Street performers play live music, and bars and clubs feature live entertainment until dawn. In 2008, Beale Street was the most visited tourist attraction in the state of Tennessee. Sun Studio: Sun Studio is available for tour, which is where Elvis Presley first recorded "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin". Other famous musicians who got their start at Sun include Johnny Cash, Rufus Thomas, Charlie Rich, Howlin' Wolf, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. It now contains a museum as well as the still-functioning studio. Memphis Zoo: The Memphis Zoo, which is located in midtown Memphis, features many exhibits of mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians from all over the world. The Zoo's Giant panda exhibit is one of only five in North America.

Greenville (Day 4)

Greenville is the Heart and Soul of the Mississippi Delta. Located right along the Mississippi River, Greenville is a historic city with a vibrant community and rich cultural heritage. Among the top five largest cities in the State of Mississippi, Greenville is home to many different cultural backgrounds. It has great historical sites, and proudly boast a very active arts community. Downtown Greenville is a registered Main Street community and is in the process of revitalizing its downtown area. Friendly people, delicious food, historical sites, a thriving city government, and so much more encompass the City of Greenville.
Attractions & Activities
The Greenville area offers a unique combination of history, heritage, cultural attractions, superb dining and special events. Whatever your interests – shopping or golf, dining out or tennis, fishing or boating.

Vicksburg (Day 5)

Explore sprawling Vicksburg National Military Park, with its battlefields, statues, and monuments to soldiers from both the North and South. A moving experience.

Natchez (Day 6)

Be amazed by one of the oldest cities on the Mississippi, founded in 1716. See antebellum and Victorian structures that sit high on a bluff. Explore the historical Frogmore Plantation and its rare cotton gin.

St. Francisville (Day 7)

Explore "The Myrtles - America's Most Haunted House" and the beautifully restored Butler Greenwood Plantation. Then walk through St. Francisville, enjoying its charming churches, antique stores, and historic buildings.

Baton Rouge (Day 8)

Overlooking the Mississippi River in southeast Louisiana, it is the state's capital.

White Castle (Day 9)

The village of White Castle sits in the shadow of a levee on the Mississippi River, in the middle of Louisiana's Plantation Country. Nearby Nottoway Plantation is the big draw to White Castle, and it stands apart as the largest intact plantation in the South. White Castle is not named for Nottoway, but for a namesake plantation home that was removed due to flooding; White Castle Plantation's original site now sits below the Mississippi River.

New Orleans (Days 10, 11, 12)

New Orleans tempts visitors from all over the world with its legendary combination of cuisine, entertainment and southern architecture. It doesn't have to be Mardi Gras for New Orleans to throw a party, as you'll see with a visit to the French Quarter. Preservation Hall, perhaps Americas most historic music hall, offers an evening of Dixeland jazz, while the district's antique stores, Creole cuisine and colorful street life all make New Orleans a favorite stop.
Attractions & Activities
You can't say you've been to New Orleans if you haven't been to the French Quarter. This charming area is the oldest part of the city and home to many of its most popular sights. In addition, as you walk through the city, you can visit one of over 45 New Orleans museums and discover a world of fine art, history, culture, Mardi Gras, military, and nature.
