Port of New Orleans
Caribbean Cruises

Caribbean cruises are offered from the Port of New Orleans year-round on the Carnival Triumph and seasonally on the Norwegian Spirit.

The port is one of the best located in the entire nation: in downtown New Orleans near the famed French Quarter and other attractions, as well as a huge array of hotels. This is a perfect location to start (or end on) a land-and-sea vacation. See Port of New Orleans Hotels

Located on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, the port facilities are about 5.5 hours east of Houston, TX, and about 2 hours from Mobile, AL. See driving directions and port map

Parking directions: Much more complicated than at most ports, based on your departure cruise terminal. See parking directions

Shuttles and taxis to the port: Also learn about the service that will take your luggage to the airport while you enjoy the sights of New Orleans. See Passenger and Baggage Transfer Services
