Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these. It starts in Memphis and travels down to New Orleans.

The company also offers some on the New England coast, Alaska, etc.

I wouldn't mind doing one in Europe but for those on Miss or river cruises in New England area, to me, you would be getting off the boat without having transportation.

In an area like New England, rent a car and drive up the coast would be a lot better experience in my opinion.
Same thing with Miss River, I have no desire to cruise the Miss River. I would rather just go to those cities to experience it that way.

I was looking forward to Viking getting into the Mississippi River cruise business, but looks like that’s not happening anytime soon.

Yep, it’s a blue hair crowd all the way. The scenery on the lower MS can be industrial (south of BR).

If you do decide to try one, be sure not to go when the water level is down or it's like cruising in a ditch. Barely can see over the levees. The comments on age of most passengers is absolutely correct nut that may be fine with you.
