Starlit Current – Riviera Maya from New Orleans

About this cruise

You leave New Orleans on February 11, 2027 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Cozumel. The sea days add up to 2, but that's when you find the spa, catch the shows, or just read by the pool. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. When you're not ashore, Carnival Valor takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 9 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. Pro tip: fly in the day before. New Orleans has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 4-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
