Description
Unwind and explore the Deep South on this unforgettable 9-night itinerary where the journey is as relaxing as the destinations themselves — no driving required. Travel by Greyhound and Amtrak between legendary cities and charming coastal towns, with handpicked hotel stays that offer both comfort and character.
Begin your adventure in Nashville, the world-famous Music City, where honky-tonks echo with live country music and Southern hospitality is everywhere you turn. Explore the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Johnny Cash Museum, and sample hot chicken or classic Southern fare at a local favorite.
Next, hop on a Greyhound coach to Memphis, the home of blues, soul, and rock ’n’ roll. Here, you’ll stay at the stylish Guest House at Graceland, just steps from Elvis Presley’s iconic estate. Visit Beale Street, Sun Studio, and the National Civil Rights Museum for a deeply moving and musical experience.
Board the Amtrak for a scenic ride through the Deep South to New Orleans, where jazz spills out from every corner and Creole cuisine tempts at every turn. Spend two nights soaking in the charm of the French Quarter, exploring Garden District mansions, or taking a steamboat cruise along the Mississippi River.
Continue your coastal journey via Amtrak to Biloxi, a laid-back Gulf Coast town known for its beaches, casinos, and seafood. You’ll stay in style at the Beau Rivage, where waterfront views, elegant dining, and entertainment make for a perfect mid-trip escape. Be sure to explore the nearby town of Ocean Springs, known for its vibrant arts scene, boutique shops, and small-town charm.
Your final destination is Mobile, Alabama, where you’ll check in to the historic Battle House Renaissance Hotel, a beautifully restored landmark in the heart of downtown. Discover Mobile’s rich history, walk along oak-lined streets, and learn about its Mardi Gras roots — older than New Orleans’ own celebration!
