EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
In enchanting New Orleans, aboard a grand steamboat and in towns along the Mississippi River, immerse yourself in the literature, traditions, music and flavors of the South. Find the places that inspired William Faulkner, Harper Lee and Mark Twain. Providing the onboard soundtrack are the New Orleans Jazz All-Stars, musical masters with a strong sense of jazz history.


Highlights

• Enjoy a jazz performance at legendary Preservation Hall in New Orleans.
• Explore the historic Oak Alley plantation, famous for its canopy of 300-year-old oak trees.
• Take a field trip to the soaring Louisiana State Capitol Building and learn about the bombastic Huey Long.
