Blue Bayou – Cozumel & Riviera Maya

About this cruise

4 nights, 1 port, one very easy decision. This one heads out of New Orleans on July 16, 2026 and visits Cozumel. This one is as much about time on the ship as it is about the ports. 2 days at sea, so get comfortable. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. As for the ship itself, Carnival Valor keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 9 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Good for anyone who can't take two weeks off but still wants the cruise experience. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 4-night sailing is a strong place to start.
