The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
A story-driven private tour of Memphis's legendary music landmarks — Sun Studio, Beale Street, and beyond — led by a working local musician who lived it. This is the insider's Memphis, told by someone who actually plays its stages.
Walk the rooms, gardens, and private jet of the King of Rock 'n' Roll at his legendary Memphis estate. Graceland is one of the most visited private homes in America — an absolute bucket-list pilgrimage for music lovers.
Stand in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel — where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated — and trace the full arc of America's Civil Rights Movement through one of the world's most powerful museums. Unmissable and profoundly moving.
Eat, drink, and listen your way through the street that gave American music to the world. A guided walk along Beale Street combining legendary Memphis BBQ tastings, live blues, and the rich African American cultural history woven into every cobblestone.
Step into the tiny recording studio where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and B.B. King all made history. Sun Studio is the most important small room in American music — and a private after-hours visit makes it feel like you own it.
Witness the world-famous Peabody Ducks march the red carpet to the lobby fountain of Memphis's grande dame hotel — a beloved, utterly unique American ritual that has enchanted guests since 1933. Pair it with afternoon tea or cocktails in the grand lobby.
