FAQ

Cheap cruises from New Orleans questions

How much do cruises from New Orleans cost?

The lowest tracked lead-in fare from New Orleans right now is $335. That is a starting price for the cheapest cabin on the cheapest current sailing — compare value per night as well as the headline fare, because a short cruise can cost more per night than a longer one. Prices can change at any time.

Which cruise lines sail from New Orleans?

We are currently tracking departures from New Orleans across Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line. Open any sailing to compare ship, itinerary, cabin fare and value per day before you book.

Do cruises from New Orleans get cheaper closer to departure?

Sometimes. Unsold cabins are the ones most likely to fall in the final weeks before a sailing, but there is no guaranteed late drop and waiting risks the cruise selling out. A sailing's own price history is the best guide to which pattern it is following.

How do I get a price-drop alert for a cruise from New Orleans?

Save the sailing to your Cruise Prices watchlist and we track its fare for you. Members can be emailed when a watched cruise's price changes, so you are not rechecking New Orleans departures by hand.

When is the best time to book a cruise from New Orleans?

Track the exact sailing you want instead of booking on the first price you see. Compare the current fare against the sailing's price history and its value per night, and use an alert so you are told when the fare moves. Then book when the history shows a real low rather than a promoted one.
