Mississippi River Barge Cruise

It’s fitting that the largest river in North America – the great Mississippi – should lead to the United State’s longest wharf (at over 2 miles), in New Orleans. With the Big Easy staging a comeback after Hurricane Katrina, now’s a perfect time to join in on the city’s renaissance by embarking on a 4-night river barge cruise through the Mississippi Delta on RiverBarge Excursions. The laid-back atmosphere doesn’t sacrifice onboard style – 98 climate-controlled staterooms are fitted with picture windows, full-sized tubs with showers, and satellite TVs. Various guided land excursions include plantation tours and visits to St. Francisville and Baton Rouge. At night, things heat up onboard with entertainment like Dixieland jazz and blues bands.
