Touch down in two US cities that don’t just love music, they live it, breathe it, and broadcast it from every doorway.

Think of this as your backstage pass to Nashville. The Attraction Pass lets you line up some of the city’s greatest hits in advance, saving money and leaving you free to enjoy the show. There’s no rush either. The attractions don’t have to be done in a single day, so you can set your own tempo.

Start things off at Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery, where you can sample moonshine, cocktails, and local beer by the glass, fuel up on crowd favourites like White Duck Taco and Prince’s Hot Chicken, and take home a jar or two for later. Nashville believes in souvenirs you can sip. Step into the spotlight at Madame Tussauds Nashville, an interactive celebration of American music where legends past and present are always ready for a photo op. Then head to the Country Music Hall of Fame, where the story of country music unfolds through iconic instruments, costumes, and moments that shaped two centuries of sound. Go deeper behind the music with a visit to historic RCA Studio B, once home to recording greats like Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, and the Everly Brothers. Prefer ink to vinyl? Opt instead for Hatch Show Print, the legendary letterpress poster shop that has been hand-printing Nashville’s look for generations. To tie it all together, hop aboard the Old Town Trolley for a one-day hop-on, hop-off tour that lets you see the city at street level, with stories included and walking optional. Finish on a high note at either the Johnny Cash Museum, home to the most comprehensive collection of artefacts from the Man in Black’s life, or the Patsy Cline Museum, a heartfelt tribute to one of country music’s most unforgettable voices.

There's no better place or time to contemplate the New Orleans' skyline than from aboard a good old-fashioned steamboat. And if the breathtaking views of the city's skyline aren't enough to satisfy your senses, you have the option to book the cruise with a casual buffet-style dinner.

Don't think the highlights of this trip are limited to the awe-inspiring vantage point or the delicious meal. Aboard the Natchez Steamboat, you're also invited to have a nosey around the ship's engine room. Inside this quaint space, redesigned to look like a museum, you'll find all sorts of historical artefacts that have many an interesting story behind them. Throughout the voyage, you can enjoy a jiggle to live jazz tunes performed by the world-renowned Dukes of Dixieland. New Orleans is famous for being the city of jazz, so the Dukes' jingles provide the playlist.
