BLISS MARDI GRAS CRUISE · FEBRUARY 19–25, 2028
Masks on, inhibitions off…
For the first time ever, Bliss sets sail from New Orleans. Bliss Mardi Gras is a full-ship, couples-only takeover of Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas, timed to the most famous party week on the calendar.
Six nights, two Mexican ports in Cozumel and Costa Maya, and four days at sea of krewe-style parades down the Promenade, clothing-optional pool parties and themed dance nights.
Then keep the party going on land: Bliss returns to New Orleans just in time for the Mardi Gras Extravaganza at the Jung Hotel.
ADULTS-ONLY 21+ • COUPLES-ONLY • CLOTHING-OPTIONAL • FULL-SHIP TAKEOVER • FIRST BLISS SAILING FROM NEW ORLEANS
Rates From $895 USD* per person, plus fees
