Actual cruise ports/itineraries may vary - this is purely one example. Your Bon Voyage consultant will chat through options for your dates of travel.
Founded in 1718, New Orleans is steeped in history with influences from Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. It boasts a colourful mosaic of culture, food and music. You'll find the roots of Jazz and a blossoming culture that is simply like nowhere else on Earth. Discover nooks and crannies not normally visited by tourists during your walking tour of the French Quarter. And, no trip to the south is complete without a cruise on the Mississippi River by authentic paddle steamer - that comes after a traditional 'Nawlins breakfast of beignets and cafe au lait.
With your cruise not setting sail until late afternoon, you've got the morning to mooch through your favourite areas of New Orleans and perhaps have one last beignet and cafe au lait!
Once on board the ship, enjoy a cocktail on deck as your ship gracefully departs the port of New Orleans and heads for the turquoise waters of the Western Caribbean.
With a full day at sea you'll be spoilt for choice on what to do first. Head to the Mandara Spa or work out in the gym. Take a dip in the Tahitian pool or simply pull up a lounger and tuck into a good holiday read. The best bit, with Free Style dining, you don't have to be anywhere at a specified time, so you truly are free to do as you like - all day.
Wake up in Cozumel, a dreamy island off the coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. If you're not booked on an NCL excursion, such as Passion Island, Tulum Mayan Ruins or Chichen Itza, the town is a pleasant place to spend the afternoon and the island offers some of the best reef diving in the world.
It's back on board for a 5pm sailing tonight. Time to freshen up and head to the Champagne Bar before dinner.
Enjoy the views of Roatan, one of Honduras's Caribbean Bay Islands, as you arrive into port at 10 am. Part of a huge barrier reef, these islands are famous for their idyllic beaches, dive sites and plentiful marine life, including whale sharks. There's a wide choice of excursions available such as shipwreck snorkelling, ziplining, ATV adventures and Jungle horseback tours. Alternatively, head for one of the dreamy beaches.
Voted "Best New Cruise Port", Harvest Caye in southern Belize is a 75-acre oasis featuring a massive, tropical pool with a swim-up bar, salt-water lagoon and exclusive 7-acre beach. You'll have the whole day to take part in exciting shore excursions ranging from ziplining across the island to snorkelling the world's second largest barrier reef. Or, simply enjoy the surroundings and top up the tan.
Costa Maya, a lively Mexican port, is pure fun. Shops, bars, restaurants, entertainment and gorgeous beaches with gin-clear water await you. If looking for a spot of culture, you'll have a whole day here, so enjoy a shore excursion to the magnificent Kohunlich Mayan site. Built before 500 AD, this is home to a sunken palace, pyramid temple and unique sculpted masks of the Mayan sun god. Alternatively, sign up for salsa dancing lessons on the beach.
Leave the ship after breakfast and spend your last day with one last mooch around the French Quarter before heading for your return flight.
