Destination	Arrival	Departure
New Orleans New Orleans 11/04/2026 Nowhere is this city's spirit more evident than in the famed French Quarter, with its architectural mix of Spanish, French, Creole, and American styles. Also known as Vieux Carré - or the "Quarter" to locals - it sits on a bend of the Mississippi River on some of the highest grounds in New Orleans. Intimate and special, the city's oldest neighborhood has exerted a spell over writers and artists since the time of Mark Twain, Lafcadio Hearn, and John James Audubon. During your visit to New Orleans, you will begin to understand the city's unique ability to integrate history, absorb new influences, and fashion one-of-a-kind delights that continue to amaze not only much of the world, but also the inhabitants of New Orleans themselves.,	11/04/2026	11/04/2026

Oak Alley Plantation	11/06/2026	11/06/2026
Houmas House Houmas House 11/06/2026 Located on the Mississippi River between the historic cities of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Oak Alley Plantation has been called the Grande Dame of the Great River Road. A quarter-mile canopy of giant live oak trees forms an impressive avenue that leads you to this classic Greek-revival style antebellum home. This imposing mansion has been restored to its 19th-century glory, a noble tribute to those who left an indelible mark on this rich river region.,	11/06/2026	11/06/2026
Baton Rouge Baton Rouge 11/07/2026 Experience the wonder of Baton Rouge, Louisiana's capital city, one that is rich in culture and heritage. Known affectionately as the Red Stick, Baton Rouge is home to legendary Louisiana Cajun cuisine, fascinating plantation tours, and a variety of attractions and events. There is everything you would expect to find in a state capital, but with a down-home flavor that is part of its seductive charm. Baton Rouge is a destination with true Southern hospitality. Let us give you the grand tour of one of the most historic, vibrant and unforgettable cities in the South.,	11/07/2026	11/07/2026

Memphis Memphis 11/12/2026 The largest city in Tennessee offers everything a curious tourist, hungry gourmet, or history buff could want to do and see at attractions that include music museums, art galleries, Mississippi riverboat tours, and the Memphis Zoo. Be sure to visit Graceland, and then visit the other side of Memphis at the W.C. Handy Museum, Shelby Farms, the largest urban park in the country, or the "twisted" National Ornamental Metal Museum. In the heart of "Blues City", you'll find the Peabody Memphis, one of the city's most popular attractions. Legendary, charming, and elegant are adjectives that perfectly describe this grand hotel, where its famous Peabody Ducks march to and from the Grand Lobby.,	11/12/2026	11/12/2026
