Deep South Travel Guide

Immerse yourselves in the rich culture and proud heritage of America’s Deep South when you choose from any of our range of holiday packages and deals. From Louisiana to Tennessee to Mississippi, the Deep South is said to be more a state of mind than a place. It’s impossible to experience the sheer variety and beauty of the Deep South without a twin, multi-centre or fly-drive holiday. Luckily we offer all of the above!

You could explore Louisiana by car, taking in the sights and sounds of New Orleans, the beauty and tranquillity of Lake Charles and so much more. Or venture across state starting in New Orleans and ending in Baton Rouge, passing through Montgomery, Birmingham, Louisville, Nashville and Memphis. Fly drive holidays give you the freedom to explore at your own pace without the stress of finding a place to stay.

A date for Memphis is 8th January so mark your calendar and celebrate the birthday of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself, Elvis Presley; one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, Memphis will celebrate in style. Immerse yourself in the world of Memphis; the birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Home of the Blues, the magic of Memphis provides an array of attractions, back-alley barbecue joints, neon nightlife and world-famous music. Filled with attractions, galleries, museums and events throughout the year alongside a memorable food culture, Memphis is the place to sample Southern living at its best. Memphis is also a place to enjoy a healthier lifestyle with bicycle lanes, trails and walks, visit quaint neighbourhoods and walk across the Harahan Bridge which spans the Mississippi River.

If a long drive isn’t for you, try one of our multi-centre holidays, where you could explore Cincinnati, Louisville and Nashville in a week, or New Orleans and Memphis. Experience Creole cuisine, live jazz and blues, famous Bourbon whisky, incredible scenery and so much more when you book a Deep South holiday with travelplanners in  2024
