Travel to The National WWII Museum in New Orleans to explore, remember, and reflect on World War II through exclusive access to the Museum’s campus. This special commemorative tour includes four nights at The Higgins Hotel, private guided tours, a comprehensive meal plan, and admission to the Band of Brothers 25th Anniversary Symposium.
Based on Museum Founder Stephen Ambrose's best-selling book chronicling the history of "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, Band of Brothers was brought to life onscreen in 2001 by creators and executive producers Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg. The 10-part series captivated millions, earning widespread acclaim for its authenticity and emotional power. Now, 25 years later, Band of Brothers continues to inspire a global audience, reminding us of the ordinary men who accomplished the extraordinary in the crucible of war.
