Music Meccas
Touch down in two US cities that don’t just love music, they live it, breathe it, and broadcast it from every doorway.
This one-week escape keeps the focus exactly where it should be: two iconic Southern cities, zero faff. A British Airways flight lands you in Nashville, where country music spills out of every doorway and entire streets thrum with energy. A quick hop of around two hours flies you to New Orleans for a total mood shift: brass bands on corners, oak-lined boulevards, river views, and food so good you’ll be telling people about it long after you’re home. You’ll stay in premium four-star hotels placed right where you want to be, so you can wander straight into the action. We’ve lined up a few thoughtful inclusions to get you going, then the rest is entirely yours to explore at your own speed, follow whatever catches your ear, and stay out as late as the music keeps calling.

Nashville
Welcome to Nashville, where shiny skyscrapers share the streets with storied music halls, and the sound of live guitars follows you wherever you roam. An included sightseeing pass takes the pressure off planning: hop on the narrated trolley tour for an excellent overview, step inside the Country Music Hall of Fame, explore the Johnny Cash Museum, taste a little moonshine, and choose between behind-the-scenes experiences like RCA Studio B or Hatch Show Print. Add visits to the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium, and, if you can snag a spot, an intimate songwriter session at the Bluebird Café. Between shows, refuel with hot chicken, slow-cooked barbecue, and whatever tasty distraction stops you in your tracks.
New Orleans
A short flight brings you into New Orleans, a city shaped by the Mississippi’s curve, wrought iron balconies, and a soundtrack that flickers between jazz, blues, and full brass band parades in the space of a single block. Your base puts you in easy reach of the French Quarter, where an included walking tour helps you get your bearings and uncover stories you’d never find on your own. From there, you can follow your instincts: warm beignets at Café du Monde, intimate jazz bars where the bassline hums through the floorboards, and the Spotted Cat on Frenchmen Street for music. If you’d like to deepen the experience, optional tours include a jazz-themed walk, a visit to Oak Alley’s iconic oak-lined grounds, or a daytime or evening jazz cruise on the Mississippi.
US city stay
If you want to keep the momentum going, you can fly from New Orleans to New York in under three hours. Spend three nights exploring neighbourhoods that feel like mini worlds, from Central Park and Broadway to SoHo’s shops and the High Line’s city views. Mix iconic sights with rooftop bars, standout restaurants, and the always-on energy that makes New York unforgettable. If you prefer a different finale, this trip is easy to tailor. Add Chicago for blues and bold architecture, Miami for sunshine and style, or Las Vegas for full-throttle fun.
