Memphis, New Orleans & the Western Caribbean

Trace the footsteps of legends and soak up the rhythm of the Deep South before setting sail on a sun-drenched Caribbean escape. Your journey begins in Memphis, where blues, soul and rock ‘n’ roll come alive—highlighted by a visit to the iconic Graceland. Travel in classic American style aboard Amtrak to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, where jazz, Creole cuisine and historic charm set the scene.

Then, swap city sights for ocean views as you board Mariner of the Seas for a 7-night Caribbean cruise. Unwind at sea and explore tropical highlights including the colourful island of Cozumel, the crystal-clear waters of George Town and the laid-back shores of Falmouth. Blending music heritage, cultural discovery and island relaxation, this itinerary offers a rich and varied holiday from start to finish.
