Begin your adventure in New Orleans, a city alive with soulful jazz, historic streets, and a festival calendar that celebrates music, food, and culture year-round. Wander the French Quarter’s wrought-iron balconies, enjoy live music pouring from legendary clubs, explore grand antebellum homes, and savour iconic Creole and Cajun dishes in world-famous restaurants. Beyond the city, Louisiana’s untamed beauty takes centre stage – especially during their Year of the Outdoors in 2026 – with opportunities to glide through misty swamps and bayous, explore tranquil lakes rich with wildlife, and fully immerse yourself in the state’s remarkable natural landscapes.
Then, trade jazz beats for ocean breezes as you arrive in Panama City Beach, home to 27 miles of dazzling white sand and turquoise waters along Florida’s Gulf Coast. With an enviable year-round average temperature of 23°C and around 320 days of sunshine, it’s the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure. From lively jazz to upbeat country, Panama City Beach offers a year-round calendar of festivals and events for every music lover to enjoy. Fun in the sun for all ages is guaranteed, with fantastic attractions, top-notch dining, exciting beach activities, excellent accommodation options, and world-class entertainment throughout the year. And for a flavour of Louisiana on the coast, Panama City Beach’s Creole-inspired culinary scene brings a taste of the French Quarter to Florida – so you can savour delicious New Orleans–style dishes without leaving the beach.
Together, these two captivating destinations promise a holiday filled with unforgettable flavours, rhythms, landscapes, and memories.
