Escape to the matchless Creole and Cajun culture of New Orleans and pet an alligator, tour the National World War II Museum, or stroll among the chic galleries and cafes of the Warehouse District. Walk from the Louisiane's gangway to the grounds of Oak Alley Plantation and sit a spell with a mint julep on the grand porch. In Natchez, breathe in the sweet fragrance of the magnolia trees and tour the ornate mansions that evoke a bygone era. Best of all, this round-trip voyage easily fits into a week’s vacation with the luxury of time left over to explore the Crescent City for an additional night or two.
Highlights
  • Hop on a streetcar to explore the famous French Quarter of New Orleans
  • Stroll through Oak Alley Plantation
