A Country Christmas: Nashville & the Smokies

Nov 27 - Dec 4, 2027

Eight days of Music City glamour, Smoky Mountain scenery, and the most dazzling holiday displays in the South — with nothing for you to plan.

This trip is fully escorted from start to finish: three nights at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, wrapped in over two million holiday lights, plus reserved seats at the Grand Ole Opry, a tour of RCA Studio B, and a holiday dinner and show. From there we're on to Gatlinburg for Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas and a guided drive through the Great Smoky Mountains, before closing out in Asheville with a tour of the Biltmore Estate decorated for the holidays.

This itinerary only runs during the holiday season, so it's worth putting on your radar now rather than later. The departure runs November 27 through December 4, 2027, starting from $3,999 per person, double occupancy.
