We’ll start today with a guided tour of New Orleans, learning about its rich history, diverse neighborhoods, and unique charm. Then it’s off to the Riverwalk, home to over 75 shops and dining options, before setting sail on a peaceful riverboat cruise along the mighty Mississippi. It’s the perfect way to unwind and reflect on the city’s storied past. Tonight, we gather for another group dinner before calling it a day.

🎭 Day 5: Mardi Gras World & Market Magic

This morning, we’ll explore the behind-the-scenes magic of Mardi Gras World, where you’ll see massive parade floats and meet the artisans who create them. You’ll even get a taste of King Cake, a festive treat with deep roots in local tradition. Later, we’ll visit the French Market District, where you can explore stalls filled with handmade goods, souvenirs, and more. Tonight, we’ll head to our en route hotel to rest up for the journey home.
