Cruise Excursions: Oak Alley Estate | American Cruise Lines

From its canopy of 300-year-old oaks to its vast open spaces, Oak Alley's landscape tells the story of a grand southern estate over time. Over 200 years ago, Oak Alley was just a land claim on a map and has since served many purposes, including as a sugar and rice farm, a chicken farm, a cattle ranch, and a country home. Agricultural tycoons, sugar planters, slaves, immigrant laborers, and real estate speculators have traversed its grounds over time. Today, Oak Alley is a National Historic Landmark dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of its inhabitants. Visitors are invited to walk under its iconic alley, explore the exhibits, interact with staff, and leave with a richer, more powerful understanding of its complex history. For the full southern experience, don't forget to take time for a complimentary mint julep. 🛳️LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR MISSISSIPPI EXPLORER CRUISE: https://www.americancruiselines.com/cruises/mississippi-river-cruises/mississippi-explorer-cruise 🛳️LEARN MORE ABOUT AMERICAN CRUISE LINES HERE: https://www.americancruiselines.com/why-american/about-us
