It seems the Cruise Trek Family of travelers loves river cruising!

Therefore, Cruise Trek is boldly going on another River Cruise in 2019!

~ Pre-Cruise – Included ~

December 1 and 2, 2019
One night hotel stay
Transfer to riverboat
Breakfast
Optional Tour of New Orleans before 5 pm departure

Only this time, we sail in the United States, on the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Memphis with an Antebellum South theme.

Have you ever wondered what this country looked like to its natives, early explorers, and pioneers? Traveling on the Mighty Mississippi aboard your own steamboat paddle wheeler (actually steam & paddle driven) will transport you back in time to an era of leisurely and romanticized idea of travel. Storybook American towns and vibrant, bustling cities provide a bit of excitement between peaceful fields, majestic panoramas, and high bluffs.

There is no better way to see this part of America than from the perspective of the river, for the river has played a tremendous role in the shaping of this country and the lives of the people who inhabit it . . . A cultural immersion experience for all parties! Starting with the Natives to now . . . It’s a novel trip through-and-through. It’s exposure to parts of the country many don’t visit. The Mississippi is central to the country’s development and a hugely significant economic infrastructure today.

~ On-Board – Included ~

Free coffee, tea, soft drinks, water
Free wine and beer with dinner
Wi-Fi service
Bicycle use – limited number
Shore excursions with attraction entrance
Hop-On, Hop-Off motor coach

Our first adventure on this historic river is noted to include: Authentic Southern Culture, Mississippi Delta Heritage, Sprawling Sugarcane and Cotton Plantations, Majestic Mansions, Antebellum Architecture, New Orleans Jazz and Historic French Quarter, Civil War Battlefield, National Civil Rights Museum, Classic Cajun & Creole Cuisine, and if you choose, even a tour to the King of Rock & Roll’s Graceland.

Thing is – it is all so easy! Not even a passport is required. You can arrive at your included one night hotel stay in New Orleans, walk almost next door to the riverside shopping outlets, and/or take a short walk to the French Quarter (or Uber for $5). And on embarkation day, you can enjoy a complimentary breakfast in the morning, put your luggage out so staff can transfer it to the ship, and take an optional city tour.

In any case, it is a very short walk to your paddle wheeler. Of course, a complimentary motor coach is also provided to the boat as well. Then in Memphis, you can stay longer at a post hotel option. Or take a direct airport transfer or the transfer to the airport that includes a stop at Graceland.

~ Post-Cruise – Optional ~

December 9, 2019
Tour of Elvis Presley’s home Graceland
Optional hotel

And there are loads of options to do more. Like what about coming into New Orleans earlier and enjoying the food, the camaraderie, and more with your fellow Cruise Trekkers?! Not to mention all that this famous city has to offer. Let’s stroll down Bourbon Street together! Maybe collect some beads?

In addition to the history, special highlights, and advantages of this Cruise Trek adventure, all will include local entertainment, music performances, lectures, cooking demonstrations, and theme dinners. Included in your cruise fare is one night hotel in New Orleans with breakfast; and on board – 24-hour room service, all meals, coffee, tea, soft drinks & water, and with dinner, additionally wine & beer, Wi-Fi service, bicycle use (limited number), shore excursions with attraction entrance via a Hop-on, Hop-off motor coach.

The best thing – we dock right in the middle of all there is – as they say – from Bourbon Street to Beale Street.
