Easter in the US means colourful parades, eggs and bunnies, so you’ll feel at home celebrating on a Mississippi river cruise, but be aware that the holiday weekend is a favourite for Americans, so the boats fill up fast. When not painting eggs, there are antebellum mansions to explore and Civil War battlefields to discover on this cruise on the American Duchess.
