City of New Orleans Train tours

A ride on the City of New Orleans train is a real highlight of trips to New Orleans. Immortalised by a Johnny Cash song, this famous train runs between Chicago and New Orleans - taking a delightfully nostalgic ride through America’s musical heritage. You can enjoy it as part of our Dixieland and Rhythms tour.

From Memphis, the City of New Orleans train runs through the morning mists of Mississippi. Visit the Sightseer Lounge for panoramic views of the mighty river and the exotic swamps of Louisiana and enjoy authentic Cajun cuisine on board. Trips to New Orleans are a perfect introduction to the Deep South. And, of course, American music was born along this route: in Memphis, birthplace of the blues; in Chicago’s cool jazz scene and in New Orleans itself, where the music never stops. Let the good times roll.
