Fly from the UK for this exceptional cruise and stay where you will fly into Memphis where you can pay homage to rock and roll royalty at Elvis’ Graceland before making tracks to Sun Studio, where the King and scores of other music legends recorded their hits. Grab some barbeque ribs and head for Beale Street and B.B. King’s Blues Club.
Memphis really is music town USA and many make the pilgrimage with those wanting to visit the birthplace of the blues, of soul and of rock 'n' roll. On Beale Street, W.C. Handy put down on paper the first written blues music.
Sun Studio is the place where an 18 year old Elvis Presley recorded his first song. It’s well-known in the music industry as "The Birthplace of Rock 'N' Roll" and the most famous recording studio in the world. Superstar musicians like Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and countless others started their recording careers here and today, Sun Studio still serves as a recording studio.
Graceland is the second most-visited home in America and welcomes visitors from around the world. Elvis Presley’s home, offers a glimpse into the life of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Take a peek at Elvis’ collection of custom jets and it has an exhibit complex which includes an automobile museum and the world’s largest and most comprehensive Elvis museum.
For a sobering reminder of the struggle for equality and justice, the National Civil Rights Museum beckons and enlightens. The Lorraine Motel was the place of Dr Martin Luther King’s death in 1968 and today the National Civil Rights Museum is a renowned educational and cultural institution. The Museum chronicles the American Civil Rights Movement with compelling presentations of iconic exhibits.
But Tennessee's largest city also offers much more than music. It has stellar weather, great dining, art galleries, and electric nightlife.
You’ll spend 3 Nights in a 4* Downtown hotel before leaving on the Amtrak Train where you will travel the history-laden musical crossroads of the 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.
Before you hit Bourbon Street, hit the Big Easy’s other big attractions, like the National World War II Museum and meander along the shady streets of the elegant Garden District.
Then head back to French Quarter for shopping, dining on the finest Creole cuisine and world-class jazz that calls out from every open door and invites you in. There are nightclubs and street musicians playing the kind of jazz will get your toes tapping. Hear the ghosts whisper at eerie St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, dunk sugary beignets in your café au lait at Café du Monde and celebrate the history of Mardi Gras.
