American Music, Elvis & Southern Landscapes

Discover the music, landscapes and cultural heritage of the American South on this remarkable journey from Nashville to New Orleans.

Begin with three nights in Nashville, where country music fills historic venues, recording studios and lively honky-tonks. Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, tour legendary RCA Studio B and experience a performance at the Grand Ole Opry or Ryman Auditorium.

Collect your rental car and drive east to the Great Smoky Mountains. Spend two nights surrounded by forested mountains, scenic roads, waterfalls and Appalachian traditions.

Continue west to Muscle Shoals, where some of the most influential recordings in soul, rock and popular music were created. From there, travel to Tupelo to see the modest house where Elvis Presley was born.

Three nights in Memphis provide time for Graceland, Sun Studio, the Stax Museum, Beale Street and the National Civil Rights Museum. Then follow the Mississippi south to historic Natchez before completing your journey in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz.

The suggested package includes 14 nights, but your journey is completely flexible. Add or remove nights, choose your preferred hotels and select the rental-car category that best suits your adventure.
