Put on your dancing shoes and prepare to tap your toes for a 5-day journey through America's musical wonderlands aboard the luxury MS Louisiane. Your voyage begins and ends in Memphis where the sounds of blues and jazz spill out from the clubs onto Beale Street, and a tour through Elvis Presley's Graceland home celebrates the life, music, and spirit of an American icon. Helena is the hub of the blues and is situated on one of the loveliest spots along the Mississippi River, a complimentary geographic assessment offered by Mark Twain himself. In Pine Bluff, listen to the long-lost sounds of the steam whistle at the Arkansas Railroad Museum. This is a rare opportunity to sail the rarely visited Arkansas River.
Highlights
  • Stroll on the Stax Museum of Soul Music and the Rock 'n' Soul Museum
  • Admire the bounty of the Arkansas River at the Delta Rivers Nature Center
  • Visit the reconstructed Civil War-era Fort Curtis in Helena, Arkansas
Activities

Day 1: Memphis, Tennessee

  • 1 Dinner
Arrive in Memphis and check in to your deluxe hotel, which is adjacent to the city’s attractions. Take in the sounds of Memphis, where a stroll on soulful Beale Street, a tour of Graceland, or a visit to the Stax Museum of Soul Music and the Rock 'n' Soul Museum has you feeling the beat.

Day 2: Memphis, Tennessee | Embark

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Your fare includes breakfast this morning at your hotel as well as a transfer to the Louisiane and all porterage.

Day 3: Pine Bluff, Arkansas

You're sure to agree with Mark Twain's assessment that Helena "occupies one of the prettiest situations on the Mississippi," but there's more than just looks to this hub of blues music, including the lovingly reconstructed Civil War-era Fort Curtis.
