Tips for Cruising from New Orleans
- Pre-cruise in the French Quarter: No other cruise port offers a pre-cruise experience like New Orleans. Arrive a day or two early for incredible food, live music, and culture before you even board.
- Carnival's Gulf hub: Carnival dominates the New Orleans cruise market with multiple year-round ships. NCL also sails from here seasonally.
- Western Caribbean and Cozumel: Most New Orleans sailings head to Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Honduras. The Western Caribbean itineraries are well-suited to the port's Gulf location.
- Drive-to for the South: If you're in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, or East Texas, New Orleans is a drive-to port that eliminates the need for flights.
