American Cruise Lines | The Lower Mississippi River Cruise from Memphis to New Orleans

[@adamcheklat7387]

If i ever make my final cruise stop in Memphis, I’d feel just like a pharaoh!

Looks FUN!

Sunday Brunch in 2005 was amazing. So was watching the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds play on a mild September evening at Auto Zone Park in downtown Memphis.

Looks great!

I visited the National Civil Rights Museum about 20 years ago (not long after it opened). It was truly an emotional experience. They had an official Klan Bible - what a sacrilege! They projected a film of the Children's Crusade in Birmingham's Kelly Ingram Park with the dogs & fire hoses. I stood on the balcony where MLK was shot. I left the museum weeping. It still makes me cry.

[@mikehinson5935]

Did many of the tours in the various locations mentioned slavery, and the civil rights struggles. I’m very interested in that too.

[@thomaswallace479]

How about a visit to the house in the Lower Ninth where Fats Domino lived. Then a side trip to Lafayette for some Cajun & Zydeco music. Buckwheat Zydeco who can be found on the sound track of the 1986 movie Big Easy with Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin lived on a farm in Lafayette & a collection of old cars.

Wish I had the money to just cruise the world

I really wanted to hear about the actual cruise experience. The ports are places I can research on my own. I don’t know anyone that has been on one of these boats and this video told me nothing about how I would actually spend my time ON the boat.

[@ACupofJoewithGo]

Thanks Shari for the feedback. We have many clients that were curious about the specific ports for this itinerary, so we focused on that for this particular video. We'll talk to American Cruise Lines to see if we can put something together in the future to focus more on the onboard experience. Great idea!

[@susanhindley5327]

What are the prices for one and are meals and drinks included?

[@shariarki]

@@susanhindley5327 We just returned from the New Orleans to Memphis cruise. The prices were high (starting around $5000/couple) but all inclusive. All meals, snacks, and drinks are included. There were also some premium cocktails available at an extra cost. We had a great time, the staff is spectacular, and the boat is fun. The cabins are a bit cramped but comfortable. Our only issue was that the boat broke down in Greenville, MS and we had to bused to Memphis! But it was all handled professionally and pleasantly.

[@ACupofJoewithGo]

They look boring

[@mikehinson5935]

Hi, do they mention slavery??? I think that’s a very important part of our history. I want my children to understand what happened. Thank you ladies for the video. Hope I can make one of these trips. Respect from North Carolina.

[@ACupofJoewithGo]

Absolutely. These tours include history of all the peoples of these important periods including slavery. As you say, it is oh so important for next generations to visit these key sites and learn form history.

[@mikehinson5935]

@@ACupofJoewithGo thanks so much for responding!!!!❤️

[@morningdove3140]

To fancy, I would like a more laid back cruise. Money is not a problem. Just like more down to earth people.

[@dianahudson6221]

Does the ship have c Gamably

[@shariarki]

Gambling? No. But there is a stop in Greenville, MS near a casino and time to go there if you want to.

[@countessratzass5408]

@@shariarki West Memphis AR, opposite the river from Memphis has a casino about 15 min from the the docks.

Hi Diana... No, there are no major production shows or casinos onboard American Cruise Lines. Instead, they offer an intimate, casual atmosphere conducive to gathering and making friends with fellow passengers, as well as educational lectures and local entertainment.

[@libertysdaddy1514]

Why this soo expensive it’s just visiting the crummy poverty stricken south… I’m from Baton Rouge I wouldn’t want to visit any of these iteneries..

Who cares about "greenest"?

[@rickstapenhurst4019]

I do!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

​@@rickstapenhurst4019 -- Why?

[@kylemedina2523]

American cruise lines condones open racism onboard these Mississippi cruises. Racial slurs are used by management, the n word and ‘spic’ are commonly dropped by guests. Guests send back food and drinks if delivered by a person of color. Management often joggles employees quitting on the spot, and leaving at ports that service, cleanliness, and quality suffers. Glowing reviews are required to be posted by new employees before stepping foot on the ships for their first day. This company has gone to shit, and the toxic leadership, management and culture will see to it this industry will not survive.

[@xcluenic]

I ain't surprised that's it like that

[@judypeters9308]

OMG I was just wondering about racism on these 'Southern cruises. No Joke. Thank you.
