Viator Provides Travelers With a 'Big Easy' Cure to the Winter Blahs and Blues - The New Orleans Experience

With Mardi Gras fast approaching, the time is right to plan a visit to New Orleans and take in all the sights, sounds and tastes that this Louisiana city is known for. Many of the hotels, attractions, tours and restaurants throughout the city are back in business and by visiting the Big Easy, travelers can actively contribute to rebuilding this important city as it continues to rebound from the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

"New Orleans has always been a favorite destination of travelers from all over the world, especially during this time of year when the mood is high and the temperatures are typically mild," said Rod Cuthbert, founder and CEO of Viator.

"We're delighted to offer a wide array of New Orleans activities to help travelers take the guess work out of what's up and running, in particular during Mardi Gras season when there's no better place to be. All of us at Viator are proud to be working with the local tour operators and owners to show travelers the continued tradition and magic of this wonderful city."

See It All - Even in a Day
For those visitors that may be short on time, there are numerous tours that provide a tremendous overview of the city. Starting at $55.00, The VISITicket: New Orleans Power Pass offers visitors the best value for attractions throughout town. As New Orleans rebuilds, the Post Hurricane Katrina Tour, starting at $53.00, spends over three hours in a variety of neighborhoods impacted by Katrina and highlights the rebuilding efforts. The New Orleans Cajun Bayou Tour, starting at $60, explores the Cajun back country on water and on foot. The historic Steamboat Natchez Harbor Cruise, starting at $19.50, cruises by the bustling activity of America's second largest port, the city skyline, as well as Chalmette Battlefield.

Calling All Spirits!
New Orleans has been called the most haunted city in America, and offers travelers a bounty of spirit and ghost tours. The New Orleans Haunted History Ghost Tour, starting at $17.00, investigates some of the grim and ghastly deeds perpetrated in the old French Quarter. For those looking for a 'biting' good time, The Vampire Tour, starting at $17.00, explores the dark and mysterious world of the undead, with a visit to a noted Vampire tavern to boot. The New Orleans Ghosts and Spirits Tour, starting at $21.00, takes in many haunted sites throughout the Big Easy.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry
Mardi Gras season is the perfect time to take The Southern Comfort Cocktail Tour, starting at $23.00 as travelers learn the history of Pimm's Cup, the Hurricane, and see where Southern Comfort was created in 1874. The art of cooking Jambalaya is the souvenir visitors bring home after taking the New Orleans Cooking Class, starting at $28.00. Experts in Creole/Cajun fare teach local specialties including Gumbo, Jambalaya and the ever-so-yummy local treat, Pralines. Dinner at the Court of Two Sisters Restaurant, starting at $53.00, allows travelers to savor the local history associated with 150 years of Creole cuisine.

Famous Neighborhoods on Foot
One of New Orleans' oldest neighborhoods is discovered on the Garden District Walking Tour, starting at $19.00, and includes marvelous examples of Greek Revival and Italianate architecture. A local expert highlights all the history and life of one of the oldest neighborhoods in America during the French Quarter Walking Tour, starting at $24.00. No tour of this area would be complete without a beignet and café au lait at Café du Monde in the historic French Market.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 2, 2007

If New Orleans is your port of departure or disembarkation, extend your stay before or after your cruise and enjoy what the city has to offer.

SAILINGS: February 3, 2007 - January 1, 2008

SHIPS EMBARKING / DISEMBARKING IN NEW ORLEANS: Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Triumph, America Queen, Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen, Norwegian Sun, Norwegian Spirit, and Royal Caribbean Grandeur or the Seas.

Over 40 New Cruise Ships Planned To Launch By 2010

Cruise enthusiasts have been in a gleeful state over the last year due to the abundance of new ships that have launched. If that's what makes you happy, you ought to find yourself delirious with joy over the announcements about 40+ new ships to take to the seas during the next three-years.

Practically every major cruise line has plans for a least one new vessel: Many have three or even four slated by 2010. And, just as the number of new ships is growing, so is the trend toward building bigger and more luxurious vessels.

Carnival

Although the smallest ships of the lot, Carnival has the most projects in the works over the next three-years. Ranging in size from 110,000 tons to 130,000 tons, Carnival's highlight will be "Freedom," a new class of ship costing about $400 million and carrying 2,974 passengers. With itineraries that include the Western and Eastern Caribbean, European tours to Rome and transatlantic crossings, "Freedom" will give cruise enthusiasts something to look forward to.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)

Announcing its new Freestyle Cruising campaign in 2006 was just another step in a long process of completely revamping the entire NCL fleet from the inside out. Since its buyout in 2000, NCL has made great strides in listening to the cruising population then delivering what they want. With innovations including rock-climbing walls, Garden Villas and bowling alleys, you would think NCL had run out of ideas. It seems not! "Pearl" is slated to launch in October 2007 and has gotten rave reviews thus far. The crowning glory of the NCL fleet, however, will be three ships in an entirely new class deemed "F3."

Weighing in at 150,000 tons and carrying 5,400 passengers, these "F3" class ships have been described by NCL as, "a further evolution of NCL's progressive dismantling of the structure, regimentation, and constraints of the traditional cruise experience." One of the most impressive features is that 100% of outside cabins will have balconies.

Royal Caribbean

Three projects are also on the docket for Royal Caribbean between 2007 and 2010. "Liberty of the Seas" and "Freedom" (yes, Carnival and Royal Caribbean will have ships with the same name) and "Independence of the Seas" all shine far above the rest of the fleet with a tonnage of 160,000 each. Costing in excess of $700 million each, they will accommodate 3,600 passengers respectively. While they will be exceptional vessels offering inventive features, there is one ship that will outdo them. In fact, Royal Caribbean's grandest vessel yet will outdo every other ship built to date.

Creating an entirely new class of ship, Royal Caribbean has drafted "Genesis." This will be, to date, the largest ship ever built by any cruise line. It will even surpass the size of "The Queen Mary," which holds the current record at 151,400 tons.

Accommodating up to 6,400 passengers, "Genesis" will weigh about 220,000 gross tons and cost an estimated $1 billion. Royal Caribbean chairman and CEO Richard Fain brags, "Project Genesis truly is a remarkable ship. Its bold design, daring innovations and technological advancements will delight our existing cruisers and help us draw in new ones."

Others are also jumping in on the new ship bandwagon. Keep your eyes peeled for "Emerald" from Princess Cruise Lines, "Queen Victoria" from Cunard, and "Solstice" and "Equinox" from Celebrity.

Cruise options are growing more abundant by the day, which makes this a cruiser's market. The cruise lines are bound to offer more incentives in order to fill these new, expensive ships. Stay on the alert for what are bound to be incredible bargains to come.
