Deep South USA

Deep South USA

The Deep South has shaped some of America’s greatest treasures - it’s the birthplace of America’s music, the home of the original cocktail, and a region internationally admired for its warm, Southern hospitality. Once a culinary secret, its food scene is now celebrated for everything that defines the South: bold flavours, global influences, a passion for celebration, and a deep pride in home and heritage.  

Tennessee: Sounds Perfect

Tennessee is that song you never tire of — the one you play on repeat. Hit the open road, roll the windows down, turn up the music and let the rhythm of the Volunteer State guide you through mountain vistas, vibrant cities and legendary musical stops.  

Sweet Home Alabama

Alabama offers a little bit of everything: unforgettable food, thrilling outdoor escapes and lively city energy. Spend sun-soaked days on the Gulf Coast, unwind on forest trails, and taste your way through dynamic, culture-rich communities.  

Mississippi: The Birthplace of American Music

From blues to soul and everything in between, Mississippi moves to its own beat. Experience electrifying live music, rich history, outdoor adventures and hearty Southern cooking that feels just like home.   Louisiana: Let the Good Times Roll and Feed Your Soul Louisiana’s spirit is unlike anywhere else, as state that hosts over 400 festivals a year knows how to Feed Your Soul. A melting pot of French, Spanish, British, Caribbean and African influences, the state bursts with flavourful cuisine, soulful music, colourful history, passionate sports and breathtaking natural beauty.  

Explore by Rail in 2025

Connected by Amtrak, the region has become even easier to explore with the new Mardi Gras Service that launched in August 2025. Running twice daily between Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans, with stops in Coastal Mississippi at Pascagoula, Biloxi, Bay St. Louis and Gulfport – sit back, relax and take in the views!
