Ports of Call - USA - Louisiana - New Orleans
The Mississippi River, The French Quarter, RiverWalk Shopping Mall, The Aquarium of the Americas, great jazz clubs, gourmet eateries .... all are within walking distance of New Orleans's cruise terminal complex.
New Orleans, The Big Easy, has glorious parades, brassy bands, haunted houses, historic streetcars and paddlewheelers, a world-class zoo, festivals for every occasion, a top-five aquarium and nationally recognized children’s museum, gourmet snowballs, the French Quarter, the National D-Day Museum, and Six Flags theme park.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans is the greatest free show on earth. Most visitors to New Orleans have some common stops on their agendas: Bourbon Street, The Aquarium of the Americas, great jazz clubs, unique shopping venues, and, of course, great eateries and hotels.
New Orleans is a city with perfect pitch. Its affair with music and dance began in 18th-century ballrooms, at the old French Opera House, and with the tribal rhythms and rituals of slaves in Congo Square (now the site of Louis Armstrong Park); it is known for its jazz, Cajun, Zydeco, rhythm and blues, gospel, soul and funk.
While the old packet boats are gone from the Mississippi River today, their legacy lives on in New Orleans. Several excursion boats offer daytime and evening cruises that give modern-day visitors the same view of St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square enjoyed by steamboat passengers over a century ago.
