Nashville, New Orleans and Caribbean Cruise

Nashville is the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee and home to Vanderbilt University. Legendary country music venues include the Grand Ole Opry House, home of the famous “Grand Ole Opry” stage and radio show. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and historic Ryman Auditorium are Downtown, as is the District, featuring honky-tonks with live music and the Johnny Cash Museum, celebrating the singer's life.

Fly from Nashville to New Orleans, overnight at hotel

In New Orleans you will find a flavour of the Old South with a distinct French accent, famed for its filigree wrought-iron work in the French Quarter and Mardi Gras celebrations which herald the beginning of Lent. Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), is the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Shop at the beautiful river walk and take a ride on the street car line dating back to 1835. Visit Jackson Square in the heart of the French Quarter where the gray spire of St Louis Cathedral towers high in the air. Bourbon Street is where the music never stops and looks much as it did during the 1700s and 1800s with buildings crowding a narrow sidewalk.

Key West can be best described as Cape Cod meets the Caribbean combining the best bits of both for its own unique blend of tropical relaxation & enjoyment. A visit to Key West will easily surpass those in other more popular parts of Florida in terms of nightlife, shopping, dining and natural sights such as Sunset Plaza and the bustling marina with its rustic wooden boardwalk and pier posts topped by pelicans waiting for a lazy fish!

Freeport is the main city on Grand Bahama, an island in the northwest Bahamas off the Florida coast. It's best known for the oceanfront Lucaya district, with beaches, resorts and shopping. Nearby, Deadman's Reef is popular for snorkeling, and the surrounding offshore waters host many dive sites. Up the coast, Lucayan National Park features extensive underwater caves, plus kayaking and nature trails.

A scattered group of islands off the coast of Florida make up the Bahamas and these really mark the gateway to the Caribbean. Cruise ships dock in Nassau (the capital) where you will find the usual selection of shops and also the magnificent Atlantis Hotel with its water park, marine habitat and Dolphin Cay.
