Parking for American Cruise Lines in Memphis
An American Cruise Lines Mississippi River sailing from Memphis often runs eight nights or more, which means eight nights or more of parking to sort out for anyone who drives to the dock. Here is what to expect, and how a pre-arranged LUXY Ride transfer compares.

Parking for American Cruise Lines in Memphis
For Journeys that Matter
Memphis serves as a homeport for American Cruise Lines' Mississippi River itineraries, including its Music Cities cruises that connect Memphis and Nashville. Many guests drive in from across the Mid-South, which raises the parking question before it raises the transportation one.
LUXY Ride connects travelers with a professional chauffeur through our partner network, arranged in advance rather than left to a same-day parking search. The fare is set before the trip begins and includes gratuity and tolls.

HOW IT WORKS
What is LUXY Ride?
LUXY Ride is a technology platform that connects American Cruise Lines travelers with a verified chauffeur from its partner network for the ride to and from the Memphis riverfront. The booking process is the same whether the pickup point is an airport, a hotel, or a private residence near your departure port.

Your chauffeur brings you directly to Beale Street Landing, without searching for parking downtown.
A Chauffeur Confirmed Ahead of Time
Your assigned chauffeur's name and vehicle details arrive before pickup, both for your departure and your return.
Room for Cruise-Length Luggage

Travel Smarter
Weighing a Week of Parking Against a Round-Trip Ride
For a nine-day Mississippi River sailing, parking fees accumulate every single day the car sits downtown, and Beale Street Landing itself does not offer dedicated on-site parking, so that means a nearby garage or lot for the full length of the trip. A round-trip LUXY Ride transfer replaces that daily cost with two fixed-fare trips, departure and return, with no vehicle sitting unused in a lot in between.
For travelers driving in from elsewhere in the Mid-South, weighing the cost and hassle of a week or more of downtown parking against a pre-arranged transfer from home is worth doing before booking either one.
