Celebrate the holidays the Cajun way with a joyful escape to New Orleans, where jazz, Creole flavors and centuries old traditions fill the city with warmth. Choose from three ways to experience this festive adventure. Enjoy a four night holiday getaway in New Orleans, sail away on a seven night Caribbean cruise, or combine both for the ultimate December vacation.

The New Orleans program features classic experiences that bring the city to life. Enjoy a Jazz Brunch at the Court of Two Sisters, sample cocktails at Sazerac House and learn the secrets of Creole cooking during a lively demonstration at the New Orleans School of Cooking. Explore the National WWII Museum and savor an authentic Réveillon Dinner that celebrates a beloved Creole holiday tradition. You will also have time to discover New Orleans at your own pace and visit the Christkindlmarkt at Deutsches Haus.

Travelers choosing the cruise option will sail aboard Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas for a relaxing holiday at sea. Enjoy warm breezes, island stops in Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica, and plenty of time to explore the ship’s entertainment, dining and seasonal celebrations. Guests who select the combined package will enjoy both the excitement of New Orleans and the comfort of a full week cruising the Caribbean.

Whether you prefer lively music in the French Quarter, strolling a festive Christmas market or simply unwinding under Caribbean sunshine, this holiday getaway offers a cheerful start to the season.
