Christmas Market Cruises Come to the Mississippi River
European river cruises that visit Christmas markets are wildly popular. And now American Queen Steamboat Company is planning similar holiday voyages on the Mississippi River.
These holiday sailings will visit Christmas markets in Greenville, Miss., and Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana offering seasonal and locally produced crafts and goods. Musical entertainment will be presented by strolling carolers in St. Franksville, La., departure serenades from the levees of Vicksburg and Natchez, Miss., and the Steamboat Syncopates throughout the journey.
