Day 1 – Sat, Feb 22, 2025
New Orleans, LA – Depart 4pm
“LAISSEZ LE BON TEMPS ROULER”
– Let the Good Times Roll
With a penchant for partying and a joie de vivre lifestyle, every day in New Orleans is cause for celebration. Its melting pot culture is as rich as the roux in its Creole cuisine— and adventure dangles on iron-latticed balconies alongside colorful Mardi Gras beads. Head to the French Quarter in the heart of the city, and get swept up in the wild beat of Bourbon Street. New Orleans cruises give you the chance to check out Frenchmen Street clubs for live jazz tunes, or roam the leafy Garden District. Whether it’s the voodoo vibes, fiery cooking, or down-home hospitality, the quirky heart of Louisiana will forever call you back.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ gap=”10″ item=”mediaGrid_ScaleWithRotation” grid_id=”vc_gid:1714236570638-aa40040b-b77f-8″ include=”6424,6423,6401″][/mkdf_accordion_tab][mkdf_accordion_tab title=”Day 2 – Sun, Feb 23, 2025″][vc_column_text]

Yucatan (Progreso), Mexico – Arrive 8am – Depart 5pm
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]With its laid-back beach-town vibe and one of the world’s longest piers, Progreso is the gateway to adventure on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Malecón Beach is a hub for sun seekers looking to lounge (or party) on long stretches of sand. And the fishing villages of Chelem and Chuburna are both prime spots for kayaking through mangrove estuaries. Explore shipwrecks at Alacranes Reef and swim with sea turtles in the clear waters off Perez Island. Or travel inland to stroll around Merida’s bustling squares. Yucatan cruises offer access to a treasure trove of Mayan archaeological sites digging deep into Mexico’s fascinating ancient past.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ gap=”10″ item=”mediaGrid_ScaleWithRotation” grid_id=”vc_gid:1714236570640-673d7f89-da94-10″ include=”6526,6527,6528″][/mkdf_accordion_tab][mkdf_accordion_tab title=”Day 7 – Fri, Feb 28, 2025″][vc_column_text]
