Mississippi Cruise Offers: Find The Theme That Suits You Most

By Anthony Herbert

River cruises are some of the most pleasurable ways to travel, and a Mississippi cruise is no exception.

Mississippi cruises, especially of the luxury sort, tend to have a distinct theme to delight the passengers. This is very often historical, but it could also be something else, like a cruise that stops predominantly in secluded rural spots, as opposed to one that is made for people who like visiting cities.

A historical voyage on an old paddle boat can be a great experience, accompanied as it is by the showbiz entertainment of olden times. A historically-themed trip will take you to the prominent cities of the area, such as New Orleans, and will let you taste traditional cuisine, such as highbrow Louisiana Creole fare.

The most famous ships catering to this kind of trade are the steamboats Delta Queen, the Mississippi Queen, and the American Queen, although there are others.

The alternative to a "back to olden times" cruise is a trip focussing on specific subjects, such as the area's vibrant music tradition, or Civil War battle sites.

Alternatives are many - whether you want to explore the customs of the regions' Native American inhabitants, or learn some Bluegrass, you will not be disappointed.

On almost all cruises, helpful guides will be available to brief you about the sights and make sure that you will enjoy the experience to the fullest.

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's cruises are available for the whole family, and these are great ways to enjoy during the holidays with your loved ones while someone else cooks for you!

A voyage in spring, with flowers in bloom and a great variety of fresh fish and fruit on the cruise ship's menu, will feel very different than a trip in another season. Springtime is a great moment to visit the Mississippi with a loving someone, but also with a group of friends.

Mississippi cruises are superb ways to explore the history of the Midwest and South. You have lots of alternatives that will please you and whomever you may be traveling with. Regardless of what you want to explore along the Mississippi, there is a cruise that is just right for you.
