New Orleans to Memphis | 9-Day Voyages

The most popular route on the Mississippi – and therefore the one with the most departures – is the lower Mississippi River from New Orleans to Memphis, or reverse. When you think of river cruising, these two ports of call definitely stand out as highlights! Memphis is the home of blues and bbq. New Orleans has to be one of the top five funnest cities in America. And the depth of culture in the region – the amazing history and unique cuisine – is so apparent from the moment you step off the boat.

Itinerary operates in reverse on select departures. Itinerary and ports vary by departure.
