Your Itinerary

DAY 1: UK - New Orleans.

Fly to New Orleans where you will be met and transferred to your hotel for two nights.

DAY 2: New Orleans.

The birthplace of jazz and home of the Mardi Gras is a lively, colourful city with a distinctly French feel. Whilst here, you may choose to visit the French Quarter, including St Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square.

DAY 3: New Orleans.

This morning, you will be met and transferred to your ship, Norwegian Star, for embarkation. Once on board you can settle into your cabin and begin to take in the range of facilities on this superb ship. (D)

DAY 4: At sea.

(B, L, D)

DAY 5: Costa Maya, Mexico.

Costa Maya is a tourist region in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, located between Cancún and Belize. The area includes two small villages - Majahual and Xcalak and is the closest port of access to many of the lesser known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan, including Chacchoben and Kohunlich. (B, L, D)

DAY 6: Belize City.

This colourful Caribbean city is the former capital of Belize. Spend time in the old city, with its wooden colonial houses, narrow streets and edgy modern structures, which provide the city with a unique character. Do not miss St John's Cathedral, built in 1847 and the oldest, most important Anglican Church in Central America. Perhaps pay a visit to the fascinating Community Baboon Sanctuary, home to many Howler Monkeys which are known as 'baboons' in the Creole language. You could also spend the day enjoying one of several activities including horseback riding, snorkelling or venturing further afield to explore ancient Mayan cities. (B, L, D)

DAY 7: Roatan, Honduras.

Blessed with powdery-white sand beaches, stunning natural surrounds and lusciously rich tropical forests, Roatan Island is a paradise for beach and nature lovers alike. Set amidst the beautiful Bay Islands, off the north coast of Honduras, Roatan is lapped by the warm, clear waters of the Caribbean Sea and offers spectacular watersports opportunities including kayaking, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling and scuba diving amidst the magnificent coral reefs. Perhaps explore the island itself on a discovery tour of the east or west coast, head inland to experience the rugged and beautiful, wildlife-rich Gumbalimba Park - where a wide range of optional activities ensures you can be as active or relaxed as you like, or simply relax and enjoy one of the many palm-fringed, pristine beaches. (B, L, D)

DAY 8: Cozumel, Mexico.

Cozumel is the largest island in the Mayan Caribbean and derives its name from the Mayans who once inhabited the island and believed it to be a sacred place. Its name translates to 'Land of the Swallows', in reference to the indigenous birds living on the island. Cozumel's limestone shore is surrounded by crystal clear waters, which range from sparkling aquamarine to deep, velvety indigo. Due to the seemingly endless reefs and great water visibility, Cozumel is considered by many to be the finest dive destination in the Atlantic. Today, you can visit a Mayan archaeological site, go snorkelling, shop for silver and leather goods in the many craft stores or meet the Bottlenose dolphins in Chankanaab National Park. (B, L, D)

DAY 9: At sea.

Enjoy a final day relaxing at sea as Norwegian Star sails back to New Orleans. (B, L, D)

DAY 10: New Orleans - Las Vegas.

After breakfast, disembark your ship and transfer to the airport for your flight to Las Vegas. On arrival, you will be taken to your hotel for a 3 night stay on a room only basis. (B)

DAY 11 to 12: Las Vegas.

Enjoy free time to explore independently.

DAY 13: Las Vegas - UK.
