Mardi Gras in Superb Style

PLATINUM PROMO + 300 POINTS — Experience Mardi Gras in New Orleans, tour a plantation and enjoy a shrimp boil with a zydeco band.

About Your Trip

Head to magical New Orleans and experience Mardi Gras in style. As you leisurely walk along the copper lamp-lined, and gently illuminated, paths of antiquated cobblestone of the French Quarter, it’s akin to stepping into Europe in the 19th Century – merged with a rich and varied Creole history. Multiculturalism is taken to grand new heights in this distinguished Southern town. Relish the aromatic pleasures of Cafe Du Monde pastries and freshly brewed French coffee wafting through the Lake Pontchartrain breeze, while experiencing the truly dynamic culture and energy of New Orleans.

You are surrounded by beautiful buildings that hint of Creole Atlantic influence with distinct elements of Greek Revival and Neoclassical architecture, with impressive use of columns and breathtaking Roman detail. Voodoo-inspired masks and other exotic souvenirs are casually available in shops next door to intriguing bookstores, cafes and museums, all capturing the unique spirit of New Orleans.

Roam the grounds of Oak Alley Plantation and be transported to the antebellum south, while surrounded by towering oak trees and well-manicured lawns. Delight in a spicy shrimp boil lunch with newfound friends while listening to the rhythms and beats of a lively zydeco band. Enjoy a balcony party with views of the Mardi Gras festivities.

In your free time, step into The House of Blues to catch one of the latest and greatest alternative rock, blues or jazz bands; or have a martini at the Carousel Bar & Lounge at the historic Hotel Monteleone, which once attracted such luminaries as Tennessee Williams, Ernest Hemingway and Truman Capote.

What we love:
• Capitalize on all the unique wonderment and excitement of New Orleans by also booking our Mardi Gras Adventure in New Orleans trip February 26 — March 1 for a float-building tour at Mardi Gras World and the unforgettable experience of Mardi Gras itself!
• With some of the best food on the planet, New Orleans features Pascal’s Manale, known for its barbecue shrimp; Cafe Du Monde, famous for its late-night hours, delectable beignets and chicory-flavored coffee; and Galatoire’s, loved for the finest and freshest seafood.
• It is illegal to ride on a Mardi Gras float without wearing a mask.
• It’s easy to get immersed in the captivating city of New Orleans, where jazz music, Cajun and Creole cuisine, and the mysteries of the supernatural fuse in the rhythmic heart of the French Quarter.
