From Memphis Beale Street to the beaches of Ocean Springs, this discovery combines southern musical cities with relaxation on the coastline of Mississippi.
This musical journey through the heart of the South kicks off with a visit to the historic Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel, a nod to the train that inspired the famous song. From there, travel to Nashville, the world-famous home of country music, and choose to experience RCA Studio B, where Elvis recorded many of his hits, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Next, venture to Memphis, the city that Elvis called home, and stroll down the legendary Beale Street, soaking up the live music and barbeque aromas. Then, pay homage to the King himself with a visit to Graceland, the site of his last recordings and his final resting place on an optional excursion. In Tupelo, Elvis’ birthplace, you'll get a chance to step into his humble childhood home before arriving in vibrant New Orleans. Immerse yourself in the French Quarter, venture on an optional bayou tour to spot some alligators and board an evening steamboat dinner jazz cruise.
Stroll through the majestic alley of oak trees in the Oak Alley Plantation and make a delightful stopover in the charming Bay St. Louis. Finally, conclude with a four-night stay in Ocean Springs at a resort frequented by Elvis Presley in the 1950s. With the beach in easy reach, you can unwind or choose from a range of optional excursions, including a shrimping adventure from Biloxi and an exhilarating airboat ride across the swamps of the Gulf Coast Gator Ranch.
