The Deep South<br />
The Deep South is defined by its riveting<br />
history, influential culture, and meltingpot<br />
cuisine. Stretching from the Atlantic<br />
Ocean to west of the Mississippi, this region<br />
encompasses the states of South Carolina,<br />
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky and<br />
Louisiana. This is where you can learn about<br />
Alabama’s part in the civil rights movement,<br />
take a steam paddler down the Mississippi,<br />
sample authentic mud pie and fried chicken,<br />
and discover the home of country music in<br />
Nashville. This is the home, too, of New Orleans’<br />
vibrant live-music scene, and Kentucky’s<br />
southern charms and Wild West history.<br />
Exciting, diverse and distinctive, the Deep South<br />
guarantees visitors an unforgettable journey.<br />

The capital of Tennessee was named after<br />
Francis Nash, a general of the Continental<br />
Army during the American Revolutionary War<br />
in 1779. Today, it is famous for being the home<br />
of country music with two of the most popular<br />
attractions being the Country Music Hall of<br />
Fame and the revered Grand Ole Opry. Learn<br />
about the greats from the genre’s inception<br />
to the modern day and sample the city’s lively<br />
music scene. Alternatively, visit the original Jack<br />
Daniel's distillery or take a tour of a plantation<br />
for a poignant insight into the region’s history.<br />
One of the more historic and culturally<br />
significant cities of the Deep South, Memphis<br />
had a prominent role in the American civil rights<br />
movement and is home to the National Civil<br />
Rights Museum. Most people associate Elvis<br />
Presley with the city and a visit to Graceland<br />
– the mansion where the legendary singer<br />
lived and died – is a must. Many other famous<br />
musicians got their start in Memphis. Wander<br />
Beale Street to experience some blues music<br />
yourself, or sample the barbecue food for which<br />
this area has become internationally renowned.<br />

Downtown French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana<br />
New Orleans is a blend of various cultures,<br />
traditions and nationalities from its past. The<br />
oldest part of the city, the French Quarter, dates<br />
back to 1718 and is brimming with colonial-era<br />
architecture, while the handsome mansions of<br />
the Garden District were created for wealthy<br />
Americans in the 19th century. We recommend<br />
soaking up the vibrant music on Frenchmen<br />
Street in the ‘birthplace of jazz’, enjoying an<br />
evening steamboat cruise, learning to cook<br />
Creole and Cajun food, and taking an airboat<br />
tour on the wetlands in search of alligators.<br />
