St Paul, United States
  • St Paul, United States
Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, St. Paul welcomed its first settler in 1838. And little more than a decade later, the thriving settlement was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory. By 1858, some 1,000 steamboats frequented this "Last City of the East" on the frontier. Today, St. Paul is a modern metropolis and the capital of Minnesota. The city's historic residential districts invite long strolls, particularly around Irvine Park near the Mississippi, where late 19th- and early 20th-century mansions grace tree-lined streets. ...

  • Red Wing, United States
Red Wing is known for its Red Wing Shoes, which produced footwear for soldiers in both world wars. The city was named after a Sioux chief whose red-dyed swan wing indicated his rank. The first settlers-many from New England-arrived in the mid-1800s. German, Irish, and Scandinavian immigrants followed, bringing skills in tanning, shoemaking, pottery, and more. The city boasts a diversity of legacies including Red Wing Stoneware and Pottery, founded in 1877 as the nation's first commercial potter. Today, Red Wing enjoys a place in the National Trust for Historic Preservation. ...

La Crosse has a deep connection to the towering bluffs and rolling farmland of the Norskedalen, or "Norwegian Valley". Here, a Norwegian immigrant population has created a unique culture over generations. Historic immigrant villages dot the valley still, a collection of preserved homesteads reflecting a frontier way of life. Today, La Crosse boasts numerous sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Its important architectural landmarks, along with an array of engaging statues along the riverfront, make La Crosse feel like a vast open-air museum. ...

  • Dubuque, United States
One of Iowa's few cities laid out among rolling bluffs, Dubuque is called the "Masterpiece on the Mississippi" for its 19th-century ingenuity and modern-day cultural evolution. Timber and boatbuilding were central to the city's growth, with wood harvested in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The spirit of this river town lives on in the Cathedral Historic District, dotted with well-preserved buildings and authentic period lampposts. Today, the city is praised for its livability and for its riverside developments, including a museum and aquarium dedicated to the Mississippi River. ...

  • Quad Cities, United States
Straddling the confluence of the Mississippi and Rock Rivers, the Quad Cities area comprises Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline, Illinois. As the only section of the Mississippi that flows from east to west, it is geographically unique. Its tightly knit riverside towns thrived due to thoughtful planning and effective leadership. Today, the Quad Cities rest amid the fertile farmland known as "America's Breadbasket"-the nation's most expansive and scenic agricultural region-and is home to agribusiness giants including John Deere. ...

  • Burlington, United States
The US flag was first raised over Iowa in Burlington-in 1805-by Lieutenant Zebulon Pike during his Mississippi explorations. Later, it became an outpost for the American Fur Company, a trading enterprise founded by John Jacob Astor. In 1834, it took its present name after the Vermont birthplace of its first settler, John Gray. During the steamboat era, it was a major port along the river. Today, the city is home to many magnificent buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Art Deco Capitol Theater and the Gothic Revival St. Paul's Church. ...

  • Hannibal, United States
Hannibal is the childhood home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, or Mark Twain, and the inspiration for his beloved stories of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Prior to the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and arrival of European settlers, a variety of indigenous Native American tribes called the area home. Hannibal grew into the primary port for steamboats and flatboats traveling the Upper Mississippi. "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", the early 20th-century socialite, philanthropist, and survivor of the Titanic tragedy, was also born here. ...

  • Cruising the Mississippi River, United States
Lower Mississippi: Cruising the serpentine route of the Lower Mississippi, you will witness an astonishing array of picturesque landscapes. Sail past deep-green forests, lush vegetation, and a patchwork of fertile farmlands-all hugging the shores and hosting a huge variety of birdlife perched in riverside trees, ready to pluck their next meal from the flowing waters. Around you, bluffs rise over the river's edge. Silos pierce bucolic landscapes. Sandbars and low islands guide the waters as they have for millennia. Passing numerous tributaries and meandering channels, you may appreciate this massive waterway as an epic river system rather than as a singular river. Immerse yourself in the region's history and culture by reading a book from the Library, participating in a cooking demonstration or attending a lecture. After dinner, enjoy live music in the Explorers' Lounge and mingle with fellow guests. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) ...

Memphis, United States
  • Memphis, United States
The "Queen City of the South" is the birthplace of Memphis blues, popular in vaudeville shows of the early 20th century. Future president Andrew Jackson cofounded the city in 1819. With its strong trade in agricultural goods and other natural resources, it grew into one of the South's largest commercial centers. Experience the music, cuisine, and character of Beale Street. A straight path stretching nearly two miles from East Street to the Mississippi, Beale Street is renowned as the intersection of American blues, country, gospel, and rock 'n' roll music. This is where Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Memphis Minnie, B. B. King, Rufus Thomas, and many other legends helped create a uniquely American and universally beloved musical genre. Explore Beale Street's music venues, browse its record shops, see its historic monuments, or satisfy your cravings for Tennessee's best barbecue. Today, you will explore the city at leisure and take an included tour to Graceland, where Elvis Presley, "the King of Rock 'n' Roll", spent his final days. On an optional tour to the National Civil Rights Museum, learn about civil rights history and see the Lorraine Motel, site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination.
