Inclusions A journey along the Upper Mississippi River is an enriching experience, embodying hometown Americana and the breathtaking scenery that has inspired the country`s most legendary writers, artists, and musicians. It was here that the great American writer Mark Twain used the majestic river and its scenic bluffs as the settings in his most popular works. In his book `Life on the Mississippi,` he described traveling on this part of the river as `always through enchanting scenery, there being no other kind on the Upper Mississippi.` Visit his boyhood home in Hannibal, where the characters of Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, and Becky Thatcher come to life.

Explore the beautiful gardens and historic homes of the region in the company of carefully selected expert guides. From your private balcony, admire stretches of undeveloped countryside, ornamented with pelicans, soaring eagles, and blue herons.
