Cruises on the Mighty Mississippi are often themed cruises featuring topics like music, Mark Twain or the Civil War. Travelers have the option of cruising the Upper Mississippi, the Lower Mississippi or all of the Mississippi and a variety of one, two or three week itineraries. The Upper River cruises travel between St. Paul, MN and St. Louis or between St. Louis, MO and Memphis, TN. The Lower River cruises travel between Memphis, TN and New Orleans, LA. While ports of call have included tours, premium excursions are optional at some ports.
