Roots & Royalty: Savannah,
Black Heritage Experience
January 15-18, 2027
4-Day Rail Journey from Rocky Mount & Raleigh to Savannah
Walk Through History. Experience the Culture. Discover the Soul of Savannah.
There are few places in America where history, faith, resilience, and culture come together as beautifully as Savannah, Georgia. On this unforgettable four-day journey, you’ll travel by Amtrak to one of the South’s most captivating cities, where moss-draped oak trees, cobblestone streets, and beautifully preserved squares tell stories spanning nearly three centuries.
Beyond Savannah’s breathtaking architecture lies an even richer story—the remarkable contributions of African Americans whose faith, perseverance, and determination helped shape the city. From the oldest Black congregation in Georgia to inspiring Civil Rights landmarks and the vibrant traditions of the Gullah Geechee people, this immersive heritage tour offers an experience that is both educational and deeply moving.
Relax with a three-night stay at a Hilton hotel while exploring Savannah’s most treasured historic sites, museums, and waterfront attractions at a comfortable pace.
Whether you’re passionate about history, culture, genealogy, or simply seeking an unforgettable Southern getaway, this tour offers the perfect balance of discovery, inspiration, and relaxation.
Tea with the Queens: A Southern Elegance Experience
As part of your Savannah journey, you’ll be invited to an exclusive Tea with the Queens, a signature Serenity Travel Experts experience celebrating friendship, culture, and timeless Southern hospitality.
Step into an atmosphere of grace and elegance as you enjoy a traditional Southern Afternoon Tea in one of Savannah’s charming historic settings. Relax over a carefully curated selection of premium teas, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves, delicate finger sandwiches, savory bites, and an assortment of exquisite pastries and desserts.
This special gathering is more than afternoon tea—it’s a chance to pause, reflect on the day’s Black heritage experiences, share stories, build new friendships, and celebrate the remarkable women traveling beside you. Surrounded by Savannah’s historic beauty, you’ll enjoy meaningful conversation, laughter, and unforgettable moments in an atmosphere designed to inspire connection and sisterhood.
