Catch the Wind Tours - Mississippi Riverboat Cruise

SPECIAL CATCH THE WIND TOUR

9-DAY AMERICAN QUEEN MISSISSIPPI RIVERBOAT CRUISE

NEW ORLEANS to MEMPHIS

November 7-15, 2021 (Note change from 2020)

You're invited to join us for this Catch the Wind tour on the Mississippi River, aboard the American Queen paddlewheeler steamboat.

Memory flows deep and sentiment eddies and swirls along the Lower Mississippi River on these river cruises. Once divided by these very waters, when cotton was king and the plantation lifestyle was at its zenith, the North and South were at war, each armed with conflicting visions of what was worth dying for. Look back as each battlefield and grave marker has a story to tell. Then celebrate the living, breathing places where southern culture continues to enjoy a modern-day renaissance.

Century-old oak trees, indigenous wildlife, Civil War memorials and vast plantations await you on a Lower Mississippi River Cruise. Take in the sights of the river from our decks, and explore from on-shore stops in some of the South’s most famous cities. While indulging in our luxury amenities on board one of our famous paddlewheelers you’ll learn about the area’s history and landscape. And on shore, you can experience the very best of true Southern culture.

Modern amenities and classic luxury combine aboard the American Queen. Offering gracious and elegant steamboat river cruises, climb aboard the American Queen for a memorable journey through U.S. history and nature. Enjoy Victoria opulence with details like scrolling woodwork, fresh flowers and lacy filigree or travel back in time with the words of Mark Twain, from the ship’s collection. Enjoy nightly entertainment aboard our river boat in the Grand Saloon or the Captain's Lounge or stroll up and down the decks admiring the views and scenery during your cruise. Join us aboard the America Queen, for the ultimate steamboat vacation.

And the food? Oh my goodness! All three meals on board, including breakfast in your stateroom if you want it. Choice of elegant or casual dining for lunch, and a nightly five-course dinner in the American Empress’s elegant Dining Room, showcasing regional cuisine utilizing fresh ingredients creatively combined with a contemporary flair.

A special group rate has been secured so that this cruise can include the port taxes and gratuities (mandatory items usually added to the price) at no additional cost. If you have always dreamed of a Riverboat cruise, this is your chance to do it for a very reasonable price, at a nice time of year, when there is still a chance of seeing the Fall colors.

If you are interested in this adventure, email ihla@driftersister.com to verify availability. A $500 deposit is needed upon commitment. These cruises sell out quickly, and they can’t hold cabins for me without deposits. There is no minimum or maximum on this one, but I’m hoping for at least 12 passengers.
