Cruise and Stay
14 Nights
There’s pure magic in the mix in Memphis with world-famous music, attractions, back-alley barbecue joints and the neon nightlife of Beale Street. Music wafts in from the mighty Mississippi River and breezes down Beale Street, where blues pioneers first plied their trade.
On this music adventure you will start with two nights at The House at Graceland, located on beautifully landscaped property, just a few steps from the gates of Graceland, this unique accommodation is inspired by the warm hospitality that Elvis always showed his guests. From the southern colonial exterior to the specialty suites (many with design overseen by Priscilla Presley herself), every aspect of The Guest House reflects Elvis's personal style and the unique character of Graceland. Of course we have included VIP tickets to Graceland to use during your stay.
You will then move on to downtown Memphis where you will be based for the next few days whilst you enjoy the use of your Memphis Music Pass which includes Rock n Soul Museum, Stax Museum of American Soul Music & Sun Studio tickets.
You will then take the train journey to New Orleans aboard AMTRAK. This 9 hour journey will travel the history-laden musical crossroads of Mississippi to New Orleans — the birthplace of jazz. You'll be riding in the shadows of giants of American music like Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Elvis Presley. Spacious Superliner accommodations make your trip extra enjoyable, with showers and thoughtful amenities, friendly service and fine dining available in the dining car.
Your will then arrive in New Orleans were a private transfer will take you to your hotel in the French Quarter. Nicknamed the "Big Easy," it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras.
Then finally it is time to sit back and relax aboard your Caribbean cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines on the Carnival Glory to wonderful destinations such as Roatan - Honduras, Belize and Cozumel
