Exploring the Upper Mississippi
The Mississippi River is America’s longest and most storied waterway, a route that has shaped the nation’s history, culture, and landscape. This immense river is usually split into two, referring to the respective sections as the Upper Mississippi and Lower Mississippi River. Its character changes dramatically as it flows from north to south, and the experience you will have on any cruise differs greatly between the two.
Loving the Lower Mississippi
This section of the river is wilder and more powerful, shaping a landscape of fertile floodplains and a culture forged by centuries of conflict and tradition. This is the place to be for authentic Southern cuisine, music, and historical plantations.
