Back-to-Back Cruises from New Orleans

New Orleans pairs a Western Caribbean week with a city worth arriving early for, which is a better combination than it sounds.

Every row below is a real pair of Royal Caribbean sailings where the second leg departs New Orleans on the day the first one returns. Fares are the lowest cached interior all-in price per guest for both legs combined, before any casino offer is applied. Ships currently running back-to-backs here: Mariner of the Seas.

Why New Orleans works for a back-to-back

• Western Caribbean itineraries run to Cozumel, Costa Maya, Roatan, and Belize, with enough rotation between weeks to keep a back-to-back interesting.
• The Mississippi River transit at the start and end of each sailing is genuinely unusual, and you get it twice on a back-to-back.
• The city is the draw. Few cruise ports reward a night either side the way New Orleans does.

Turnaround day at New Orleans

The Julia Street terminal is right at the edge of the Warehouse District. Turnaround is quick and the French Quarter is walkable if you clear early.

Getting there

MSY is about 30 minutes out. Downtown hotels are walking distance from the terminal, so no transfer is needed on either end of a back-to-back.

Nearest airport: Louis Armstrong International (MSY), about 30 minutes away.
