New Orleans & the River Parishes
October 5–12, 2026
Let the good times roll. Norwin Express Tours is heading to New Orleans, where music fills the air, history lives on every corner, and the food is unforgettable.
This thoughtfully curated journey blends the charm of New Orleans with the rich stories of Louisiana’s River Parishes. Explore the Garden District and French Quarter, step behind the scenes at Mardi Gras World, and experience the powerful and moving National WWII Museum. Enjoy an evening of authentic jazz at Preservation Hall, then cruise the Mississippi River to the sounds of live music.
Upriver, Louisiana’s layered history comes to life as we visit iconic plantations including Laura, Whitney, Destrehan, and Oak Alley, glide through the bayous on a swamp airboat ride, and savor the flavors of New Orleans through special dining and cooking experiences.
Comfortable hotels, expert guides, deluxe motorcoach transportation, and the signature Norwin Express touch make this a seamless and memorable week of culture, history, music, and Southern charm.
