Planning a cruise from New Orleans

The current departure calendar for New Orleans runs from September 2026 through April 2028, covering 20 departure months. The month links show the cruises available in each period. Counts describe the sailings Jibhop currently tracks, rather than a complete timetable for every operator.

The most common trip length is 7 nights, with 156 departures of that length. Other available lengths include 5 nights, 4 nights, and 6 nights. Choose a trip length above to compare trips that fit your available time, then open a sailing to check its itinerary and return port. Departing from the same port does not mean every cruise returns there.

Western Caribbean has the largest share of tracked departures from New Orleans, with 272 sailings. The destination links open cruise search with both the region and departure port selected. Review the individual sailing's ports and sea days before choosing; two trips of the same length can offer very different time ashore.

Compare the cruise fare alongside your travel to New Orleans. The starting fares shown here are per person in USD and may vary by cabin. Check the final quote for taxes, occupancy and other charges. Jibhop's historical comparisons describe observed fares, so use them to compare available options without assuming a future price drop.

For port-day context, read the New Orleans port guide. Confirm the terminal, check-in window and transfer arrangements directly with your cruise line before arranging transport: a port name alone does not identify your ship's exact boarding location.
