Meet the Mardi Gras

When we launched our first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, we made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy. Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but... here we are! So here’s a brand-new ship with a familiar name. With this Mardi Gras^® we aren't just paying homage to our first ship — in cruising circles this name suggests innovation, signals the start of something big. Oh, and this Mardi Gras still shouts “fun!” at the top of its lungs. This ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking and spectacularly getting down to fun. There's BOLT^®, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea, Emeril's Bistro 1396^™ from yes-that-Emeril, Family Feud^™ Live for everybody... plus incredible new bars like The Brass Magnolia and Fortune Teller. Everybody can enjoy Mardi Gras, sailing now. Come on down!

Inspired by

That special place vacation takes us: Ok, a few places - get ready for six distinct onboard zones featuring brand-new experiences for spectacularly getting down to food, drink, and fun. The Zones: Grand Central, French Quarter, Summer Landing, La Piazza, Lido, and The Ultimate Playground.

All the best stuff: Mardi Gras is full of fun new ways to spend your time but definitely isn't leaving the fan favorites ashore.

Both MMM & Yum!: Whether it's casual munching or sit-down elegance you're hungry for, we can't wait to share all this dining variety with you. Restaurants included in your cruise fare: ChiBang!, Street Eats, Big Chicken, Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, the Main Dining Room, Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que, Lido Marketplace (buffet), Swirls (fro-yo, and soft serve), Seaday Brunch, and Pizzeria del Capitano

Comfort itself: Mardi Gras' staterooms are major innovations in the field of helping you get ready for fun or relaxing after a long day.
