Creator's Key Takeaways

We'll leave New Orleans bound for Memphis. We'll spend 7 days on board making a few stops on our northward journey.

The food on board, well, that was really one of the highlights of our experience.

I think that's one of the reasons I would recommend this trip to you to explore this part of the American experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a hat and sunscreen due to strong sun.
Pack bug spray as mosquitoes are present.
Bring a rain jacket and layers for variable weather.
Note the evening dress code: elegant casual.
