Where cruises from New Orleans actually go
Most cruises from New Orleans go to Mexico or the Western Caribbean: four or five nights to Cozumel and Progreso, or a week that adds Honduras and Belize. Carnival Liberty also sails to the Bahamas, and Viking Mississippi goes upriver to Natchez, Vicksburg and beyond. The counts on each card come straight from the schedule.
Mexico
Mostly four- and five-night trips to Cozumel, often with a day in Progreso on the Yucatán coast as well. Carnival Dream and Carnival Valor run almost all of them.
160 sailings · 4 to 8 nights · from $362
Western Caribbean
Week-long trips that pair Cozumel with Central America: Roatán in Honduras, Belize City or Harvest Caye in Belize, and Costa Maya. Some go to Grand Cayman and Jamaica instead. Carnival, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean all sail this way.
135 sailings · 6 to 9 nights · from $349

Viking Mississippi's river cruises. The week-long trips call at Baton Rouge, Natchez and Vicksburg and either come back to New Orleans or end in Memphis. Longer voyages carry on to St. Louis, Louisville or St. Paul.
