Embark from Nashville on a 5-day journey into beautiful Tennessee aboard the luxurious and comfortable MS Louisiane. Begin your journey with a show at the Grand Ole Opry or pop into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In Clarksville, explore Dunbar Cave or learn about the War Between the States at Fort Defiance. The Civil War also takes center stage in Dover at the Fort Donelson National Cemetery, resting place of soldiers killed in an epic battle. Or discover the natural side of Dover with a bird-watching expedition to Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge.
Highlights
Visit the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville
Explore the Fort Defiance Civil War Park & its Interpretative Center
Revisit the soldier's exploits at Fort Donelson National Battlefield
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive in Nashville and check in to your deluxe hotel, which is adjacent to the city’s attractions. Rejoice, music lovers, for you are in heaven, also known as "Music City, U.S.A.", home to the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Gaze in awe at the majestic Parthenon in Centennial Park, next to venerable Vanderbilt University.
Your fare includes breakfast this morning at your hotel as well as a transfer to the Louisiane and all porterage. Settle into your stateroom or suite, head to The Veranda for a light snack, and then bid Nashville farewell as the Louisiane departs and you immerse yourself in the joys of life on the river. Bon voyage!
Alight in Tennessee's first incorporated city, named after General George Rogers Clark, brother of William (of Lewis & Clark fame). Step back in time at Fort Defiance Civil War Park and its Interpretive Center, a must-see stop for history buffs.
Surrender to the charm of Dover, unlike Confederate officer Nathan Bedford Forrest, who refused to give up his cavalry after a resounding Union victory. Wander through the park honoring Forrest, and revisit his exploits at Fort Donelson National Battlefield.

Everything was amazing! The planning with Adventure Life went smoothly. The actual trip was fantastic! One of the best trips I have experienced. The cruise staff members were knowledgeable and attentive. I will be writing more about this on the blog!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
