Mississippi River Jazz Cruises

Few genres of music are as important to the fabric of America than jazz. Artists like Louie Armstrong and Clarence Morton brought these smooth, crisp harmonic sounds to cities like New Orleans, where jazz has played a major influence in the realm of arts and culture. During a quick stroll down Bourbon St., you will hear this influence emanating from club halls and street corners.

Join American Cruise Lines as we celebrate this rich tradition of jazz musicianship on a Mississippi River Jazz cruise. On cruise routes from New Orleans - Memphis and New Orleans roundtrip, you will be treated to special onboard performances. On shore excursions, you will take part in exclusive behind-the-scenes tours focused on jazz and how it helped sculpt American music and the Mississippi River itself.
