Can I still do this trip?

This was a past SXT departure to USA, New Orleans + the Western Caribbean. We run adventures like it regularly, so contact us about the next departure or a custom version designed for your own group.

Is this good for solo travelers?

Absolutely. SXT trips attract friendly, like-minded travelers, and many guests arrive solo and leave with a whole new crew of dive buddies.

Do you handle flights and logistics?

Yes. SXT concierge takes care of flights, transfers, documents, and the little details, so all you have to do is show up and soak it in.

Mardi Gras in the French Quarter

There is no better time or place to feel the full pulse of New Orleans. Brass bands spill onto the streets, the energy is electric, and the city pulls you in from the first moment.

Creole and Cajun feasting

From beignets and chicory coffee to full Creole and Cajun spreads, New Orleans eats as big as it celebrates. Every meal is a reason to linger at the table.

History that stays with you

The National WWII Museum is a sobering, brilliantly curated landmark, a meaningful counterweight to the city's revelry and one of the finest museums in the country.

Caribbean warmth at the finish

A seven-day cruise out of the Mississippi rolls straight from the French Quarter into the turquoise ports of the Western Caribbean, keeping the good times going long after the city fades.
