Treasures of the Mississippi & the Gulf Coast (13 days)

We travel the USA
(Departure November 18 – 30, 2012)
To most travelers today, the Mississippi River and the Gulf Coast is undiscovered territory. Now you are invited to join us on a cruise to explore both waterways—the gracious plantations, historic cities, and Civil War battlefields along the Mississippi; and the historic and cultural sites of the Gulf Coast. Your voyage begins in New Orleans’ French Quarter, famous for its cuisine, its native jazz music, and its romantic French colonial architecture. Cruising along the Mississippi River, you will stop in one of the loveliest and oldest towns in the South, Natchez. Joining you on this voyage will be Professor John Whiteclay Chambers II, who will enhance your appreciation of this region’s deep history with lectures and discussions. Additionally, you will be treated to onboard concerts from a trio of talented jazz musicians: Bill Messenger, Gary Chalmers, and Del Pushert. Detailed Itinerary Call now for all details
