The City of New Orleans carries travelers round trip between the two music cities, bookending 3 nights in a Memphis hotel, admission to the Rock 'n' Soul Museum, admission to Sun Studios, and a sightseeing city tour that includes a stop at Graceland. At Sun Studios, travelers see where recording artists such as Elvis Presley made some of their most celebrated recordings, while the Graceland visit covers the life and legend of Presley at his former home.
