Mobile - A little over a decade ago, cruises out of Mobile would have seemed far-fetched. Downtown was boarded up. Florida had a lock on cruises. And how many people would want to go anyway? Today, Mobile's downtown is bustling, the cruise industry has ballooned, and cruise lines are scouting Gulf Coast cities. It seems Mobile's day in the sun is finally here,

This is a new port and information will be added when available.

New Orleans - The easiest way to picture New Orleans is to divide it into its two main sections; uptown and downtown. The dividing line is Lee Circle, accessible from historic St. Charles Avenue. Below Lee Circle are the Warehouse Arts District, French Quarter, Faubourg Marigny, Bywater area and the Central Business District (CBD). Above Lee Circle are Uptown, The Garden District, The Irish Channel, Carrollton, and several colorful, distinct neighborhoods in-between. 

For years media have created an image of New Orleans that has much to do with the French Quarter, but little to do with the magnificent neighborhoods that make up the rest of the city. This is not surprising, since the French Quarter is one of the most unique spots in the world. The narrow streets and rows of two- and three-story French and Spanish-inspired structures look almost like a movie set.

Directions

By car, the seaport can be accessed: 

Take I-10 East toward New Orleans. Follow signs for Westbank (Business 90) as you approach downtown. Exit at Tchoupitoulas St./South Peters St. exit, continue to Convention Center Blvd., right on Convention Center Blvd. continue to Henderson St., left on Henderson St. continue to Port of New Orleans Place, left on Port of New Orleans Place to cruise terminals (Julia St. Terminal) or right to Delta Queen (Robin St. Wharf).


Parking

Immediately adjacent to the cruise terminal, the Port operates a patrolled, fenced, and lighted outside parking lot (no height restrictions) for cruise passengers only, for length of voyage only. Cost is $70 for a seven day cruise, cash only on arrival, no credit cards, no checks, no reservations, no refunds for early departure. RV's pay according to number of spaces occupied (i.e., two spaces equal $140). If lot is full, Harbor Police and Seacaps will direct you to other private lots close by, some of which will honor the Port's prices for cruise passengers. At least one operates a shuttle to and from the terminal.

Norfolk - With its sparkling downtown waterfront, tall glimmering buildings and storied maritime heritage, Norfolk, Virginia stands today as the Mid Atlantic region's most dynamic and progressive cultural center.

World-class museums, galleries, intimate performing arts halls and scores of other attractions dot the city's pedestrian-friendly downtown waterfront, while the white sandy beaches of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean lie just minutes away. 

In fact, this old seaport in the heart of the Virginia Waterfront is experiencing a rebirth so vibrant, the New York Times declared Norfolk a "cultural center of note," while Money magazine dubbed it "The South's #1 big city to live in."

A city as rich in history as there are things to do, Norfolk enjoys a cost of living considerably more generous than most cities, offering business, leisure, and convention traveler the kind of value and entertainment that can be found in few other places. 

Whatever you choose to do in The New Norfolk, it's easy to see that the old seaport's pulse is beating stronger than ever.

This is a new port and information will be added when available.
