7-Night Caribbean Cruise

Sailing roundtrip from New Orleans aboard the Norwegian Breakaway, this seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary requires a strategic approach to bypass busy March spring break crowds. In Cozumel, skip the commercial port entirely; book a drift dive at Palancar Reef or rent a jeep to explore the quieter eastern side. Roatan offers arguably the premier snorkeling in the region, where the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef hugs the shoreline, allowing you to wade right in. At Harvest Caye, NCL's private destination in Belize, enjoy straightforward access to rainforest excursions. When you reach Costa Maya, bypass the manufactured pier village and take a short taxi to the neighboring fishing village of Mahahual for authentic coastal Mexican life.
