Grand Ole Opry

Celebrating 100 years in 2025, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee is the longest-running radio braodcast in U.S. history. Enjoy a live performance of the Opry during your time in Nashville. Sure to be a highlight of your journey!

The magic and music of New Orleans

Discover "the birthplace of jazz" New Orleans

Renowned for its Creole cuisine, cross-cultural heritage and distinct musical styles, New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind destination filled with things to do, people to see, food to eat and history to take in. Universally considered the birthplace of jazz, great musicians have come from New Orleans; Louis Prima, Fats Domino, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and many others began their musical journey here, and their legacy permeates across the city to this day.

The Peabody, Memphis

The "South's Grand Hotel"

Offering a bridge between the "Blues City"s celebrated past and its cosmopolitan present, there is a reason The Peabody, Memphis is nicknamed the "South's Grand Hotel." While the hotel itself has a legacy of its own, it may be even more famous for its feathered friends that call the hotel home. Known as the Peabody Ducks, each day these ducks walk from the hotel elevator to its fountain, a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and continues to this day!

Protect Your Travel Investment

When booking airfares through Tauck (including when taking advantage of a special offer that includes air travel), standard airline cancellation fees will apply.

We will only credit the remainder of deposit to a future tour or cruise booking if you book within 24 months of cancellation of the original Tauck tour or cruise. This offer expires after the 24 months. We will only credit the remainder of the deposit to a future tour or cruise booking Balance Due and it can't be used as a credit for the initial deposit of a future tour or cruise booking. The Tauck "Deposit Protection Plan" only covers a Tauck tour or cruise and it does not replace Travel Insurance, which we recommend at the time of booking.
