Join NOBDA on an Unforgettable Voyage
April 12 ~ 17, 2027

Get ready to let the good times roll from the Big Easy to the deep blue! Join us as we trade the Crescent City for the Caribbean Sea. We’ll set sail from the vibrant port of New Orleans, journeying down the mighty Mississippi aboard the Carnival Valor for an unforgettable island escape. Our destination? The sun-drenched shores of Progreso, Mexico and the crystal-clear waters of Cozumel, Mexico!

COZUMEL, MEXICO
Cozumel, Mexico’s largest Caribbean island, is a world-renowned destination famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world. Visitors are often drawn to the western shore for its calm, white-sand beaches and drift diving, while the "wild" eastern side offers rugged limestone coastlines and powerful surf. Whether you are snorkeling at Palancar Reef or relaxing at a beach club, the island's natural beauty provides a perfect backdrop for adventure and leisure alike.

PROGRESO, MEXICO
Progreso, located on the emerald coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, is a vibrant port city known for its impressive pier—one of the longest in the world—which stretches nearly four miles into the Gulf of Mexico to accommodate large cruise ships. The city serves as a gateway to the rich history of the Maya world, offering easy access to iconic archaeological sites like Dzibilchaltún and the yellow-washed colonial streets of Izamal. Along the lively "Malecón" beachfront promenade, visitors can enjoy fresh local seafood like ceviche and tikin xic fish while taking in the calm, shallow waters and the warm tropical breeze.
