New Orleans, Louisiana - View Cruises Departing From This PortOverviewNew Orleans is a chief United States port city
and historically the biggest city in the U.S. state of Louisiana. New Orleans is
named after the historical Duke of Orleans, Regent of France and is one of the
oldest and largely historic cities in the United States. New Orleans is a
Southern city known for its multicultural heritage as well as its music and
cuisine. It is a world-famous tourist destination thanks to its many festivals
and celebrations; the most noteworthy annual events are Mardi Gras. Once the
fourth largest city in the United States, New Orleans's population was at
484,674 before the hurricane now about 110,000. New Orleans remains a chief port
city due to its location near the Gulf of Mexico and along the Mississippi
River, making it a focal point for goods which travel to and from Latin America.
The city suffered from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, which made
landfall on August 29, 2005 on the Louisiana/Mississippi state line near the
city. New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin issued a mandatory evacuation of the entire
city, the first such order ever issued in New Orleans. Prognosis of the city's
eventual population following reconstruction are very rough.
Things To DoNew Orleans is bursting with culture even after
Hurricane Katrina they showed true resilience and that following February they
had Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is the New Orleans Carnival with roots in Catholic
ritual, starts on Twelfth Night. The season of parades, and king cake parties
begins on that date. From about two weeks before, until Fat Tuesday, there is at
least one major parade each day. The biggest and most elaborate parades take
place the last five days of the season. In the final week of Carnival many
events large and small occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities.
This is the biggest event in New Orleans every year.
New Orleans also has Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, Voodoo Fest, Southern
Decadence, and college football's Sugar Bowl. All these events are held every
year so when you visit you probably will be able to catch one.
