Helen's view
“This is a wonderful choice for travellers who want a longer holiday with real variety. The route follows the music and character of the American South before slowing the pace completely on the Riviera Maya.”
Suggested itinerary
Four distinctive cities create a lively first week before seven nights of all-inclusive relaxation on Mexico's Caribbean coast.
2 nights
Begin in Music City with live performances, landmark venues and the restaurants and creative neighbourhoods beyond Lower Broadway. Two nights offer an energetic introduction to Tennessee and the route ahead.
We will select a comfortable, well-located base to suit how close you would like to be to the city's music and nightlife.
1 night
Continue to Memphis for an evening on Beale Street and a taste of the city's deep blues, soul and rock-and-roll heritage. This compact stay works as a memorable bridge between Nashville and New Orleans.
The itinerary can easily be extended if you would like more time for Graceland, Sun Studio or the National Civil Rights Museum.
2 nights
Spend two nights amid the music, architecture and unmistakable atmosphere of New Orleans. Explore the French Quarter, follow the sound of jazz and make time for the city's celebrated Creole and Cajun flavours.
We will choose the right neighbourhood and style of hotel, whether you prefer the historic centre or somewhere slightly quieter.
2 nights
Pause in Houston for two nights, bringing a modern Texan contrast to the music cities. The city offers ambitious museums, varied dining and the famous Space Center within reach.
Your stay can be shaped around culture, food, space exploration or simply a comfortable stop before flying onward to Mexico.
7 nights
Finish with a full week on the Riviera Maya, where white-sand beaches and warm Caribbean water provide a complete change of pace. An all-inclusive resort makes this the effortless, restorative final chapter.
We will recommend the right resort and room category, with the option to include spa time, cenotes, Tulum or other experiences beyond the beach.
What makes it memorable
A starting point, not a package
We can slow the journey down, add another stop, alter the city-to-city arrangements or choose a completely different beach finale.
