200 New Orleans & Riverboat Adventure Week:
Your New Orleans Vacation Experience

Jazz. Jambalaya. And juleps!

New Orleans is one of the top tourist destinations in America and one of the most exciting ports on any river in the world. Now you're going to see it—and taste it—in style. Food is nothing less than a main attraction in the Crescent City, and breakfast at the hotel and two meals (choose from a select list of famous restaurants) are included in your package price.

Want to hear a little jazz? You got it. Want to see a plantation? Go for it! You’ll have your choice of two attractions if you choose a 3-night hotel stay, and four attractions if you choose a 4-night hotel stay. Also included in your package price will be accommodations at one of the very best New Orleans hotels. See below for information on your restaurant, attraction, and hotel choices.

As you journey upriver, you'll visit sites such as Oak Alley Plantation, with its magnificent row of 300-year-old live oak trees, and St. Francisville, home of many famous plantations including The Myrtles, one of the most haunted houses in America. Other highlights of our lower Mississippi adventures include a tour of a Louisiana swamp, two “big houses”—Greenwood Plantation and Angola Prison; charming Natchez, with more than 200 antebellum structures; and the historic Civil War battlefields of Vicksburg.

Your 7-night vacation includes your choice of a 3- or 4-night riverboat cruise plus a 3- or 4-night New Orleans Experience, including accommodations at a selected New Orleans hotel; full breakfast daily; two meals; tickets to your choice of two selected attractions (with the 3-night hotel stay) or four selected attractions (with the 4-night hotel stay).

3-NIGHT RIVER VACATIONS stop at Oak Alley Plantation (Vacherie) and Baton Rouge. For an additional price, you can tour Oak Alley Plantation, Laura: A Creole Plantation, or a Cajun swamp. The American Queen departs New Orleans at 7:30 PM.

4-NIGHT RIVER VACATIONS feature a Steamboatin’ day, followed by stops in historic Natchez and Baton Rouge. From Natchez, for an additional price, you can take the Music, Mistresses & Marriage Tour, the Natchez homes tour, or you can take a tour of the haunting battlefields of Vicksburg. (Tours of St. Francisville may be substituted in certain seasons.) The American Queen departs New Orleans at 4:00 PM, except dates noted by an asterisk (*), which depart at 7:30PM.
