Travel Advise

Overview

This holiday offers something truly special, blending American music history with the beauty of the Caribbean islands. Your journey begins in Memphis, the home of blues and rock and roll, before continuing to New Orleans, a city known for jazz, food, and charm. After exploring two of America’s most famous cities, you step on board Mariner of the Seas for a seven-night Caribbean cruise that takes you to white-sand beaches, turquoise seas, and island culture.

The adventure starts with two nights in Memphis. Here you will have the chance to walk the same streets that inspired legends of American music. From Beale Street with its live bars and neon lights to the mighty Mississippi River, Memphis is a city full of character. A highlight of your stay will be a visit to Elvis Presley’s Graceland, the home of the King of Rock and Roll. This experience gives you a look into the life of Elvis, from his music to his style, and is a must for anyone who loves music history.

After Memphis, your journey continues by Amtrak rail. This train ride takes you through the heart of the American South, giving you time to relax and watch the countryside roll by as you travel towards New Orleans. Spending two nights in New Orleans allows you to enjoy the atmosphere of the French Quarter, with its colourful streets, jazz bands, and famous Creole and Cajun food. Whether you take a walk along Bourbon Street, listen to live jazz in a small club, or try local dishes like gumbo and jambalaya, New Orleans is a city that stays with you forever.

From here, you board the Mariner of the Seas, a modern ship with everything you need for a week at sea. From pools and restaurants to shows and activities, the ship becomes your home as you sail to the islands of the Caribbean. The cruise includes stops in Cozumel in Mexico, George Town in the Cayman Islands, and Falmouth in Jamaica. Each island has its own charm. In Cozumel, you can explore Mayan ruins or relax on sandy beaches. George Town offers duty-free shopping and some of the best snorkelling in the Caribbean. Falmouth gives you the chance to see Jamaica’s natural beauty, from waterfalls to lush hillsides, while also offering history and culture in its town.

The cruise ends back in New Orleans, giving you a final chance to enjoy the music and flavours of this unforgettable city before flying home. With flights included from the UK, hotel stays, a train journey, your Graceland visit, and a full-board cruise, this holiday is carefully designed to give you variety and value. It is not just a cruise but a complete experience across cities, music, and islands.

Travelling in late January also means you can start the new year with something truly special. Instead of the usual winter routines, you could be standing in front of temples in Bangkok, relaxing on the sands of Ko Samui, or sampling street food in Singapore. The timing also gives you the chance to enjoy quieter beaches and cultural sites, as this period is outside the peak holiday rush.

By the time you return, you’ll not only have seen some of the most beautiful parts of Asia but also experienced a mix of cultures, landscapes, and traditions. From city skylines to island shores, every stop adds something unique to your holiday.
