welcome to wonderland
There is something magical about Mardi Gras.
The music. The costumes. The anticipation. The feeling that anything can happen.
Now imagine taking that energy out of the French Quarter and onto a ship filled with adventurous couples, tropical destinations, themed celebrations, and days that blend seamlessly into unforgettable nights.
The Bliss February 2028 Cruise combines the excitement of a lifestyle charter with the spirit of Mardi Gras, creating a one-of-a-kind vacation that brings together travel, entertainment, romance, and community. Whether you're a seasoned lifestyle traveler or simply looking for a unique getaway, this sailing promises far more than a traditional cruise vacation.

Why We Are Excited About This Sailing
We attend and sell a variety of lifestyle vacations throughout the year, but this particular sailing stands out for a simple reason: it combines one of our favorite celebrations with one of the most social vacation environments available.
Mardi Gras has always been about letting go of the ordinary and embracing the extraordinary. Costumes replace business attire. Strangers become friends. The unexpected becomes part of the adventure.
A lifestyle cruise creates that same sense of freedom, but instead of lasting a weekend, it becomes your entire vacation.
Days are spent exploring beautiful destinations, relaxing by the pool, enjoying exceptional dining, and meeting couples from around the world. As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms. Theme nights, entertainment, parties, and social gatherings create a new experience every evening.
No two days ever feel quite the same
Booking Through Naughty Events
While Bliss Cruises operates the charter, many of our guests prefer booking through Naughty Events because they enjoy having familiar faces throughout the journey.
Before the cruise, we'll organize opportunities for our guests to connect, ask questions, and get to know one another. For first-time cruisers, this often removes much of the anxiety that comes with traveling to a large lifestyle event where you may not know anyone.
Once onboard, we'll host a meet-and-greet for guests who booked through us and we'll be available throughout the voyage to answer questions, make introductions, and help people get the most from their vacation.
Some guests join us because they've attended Naughty N'awlins. Others simply appreciate having experienced lifestyle event professionals available before and during the trip.
Either way, it often turns a ship full of strangers into a group of friends before the cruise even begins.
Ports of Call: Cozumel & Costa Maya
This voyage takes you from the vibrant energy of New Orleans to two of our favorite destinations in Mexico: Cozumel and Costa Maya. While both ports offer stunning Caribbean waters, white sand beaches, and plenty of sunshine, each has its own distinct personality.
Cozumel is one of the Caribbean's most popular cruise destinations, known for its crystal-clear turquoise water, world-class snorkeling and diving, lively beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and colorful island atmosphere. Whether you spend the day exploring Mayan ruins, relaxing with a margarita overlooking the ocean, or swimming in some of the clearest water you'll ever see, Cozumel never disappoints.
Costa Maya offers a completely different experience. Less developed and more laid-back, this beautiful stretch of Mexico's Caribbean coastline is known for its pristine beaches, charming beach bars, ancient Mayan history, and relaxed tropical vibe. It's the kind of place where you can spend the day with your toes in the sand, a cold drink in your hand, and nowhere else you need to be.
Together, these two ports offer the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, allowing you to experience two very different sides of the Mexican Caribbean in one unforgettable vacation.

What Makes Bliss Cruises Different?
The biggest misconception about lifestyle cruises is that they're focused on one thing. In reality, they're about possibilities.
Some couples spend their days exploring tropical ports and relaxing by the pool. Others fill every hour with activities, parties, workshops, and social gatherings. Some never miss a themed event, while others prefer long conversations over cocktails and quiet evenings with new friends. The beauty of a lifestyle charter is that there is no single "right way" to experience it. Every couple creates their own vacation.
Pool Parties are at the heart of the daytime experience. These aren't the typical cruise ship pool games and belly flop contests. The atmosphere is adults-only, energetic, and social, with live entertainment, DJs, contests, and hundreds of like-minded travelers enjoying the Caribbean sun. Some afternoons feel like a giant celebration, while others are more relaxed and laid-back, but the pool deck is always one of the best places on board to meet people and become part of the community.
Musical Variety is another reason we enjoy Bliss Cruises. Many charter cruises seem to have the same music playing everywhere you go, but Bliss offers something for every taste. You may find yourself singing along at the piano bar one evening, enjoying Latin rhythms in another venue, dancing to disco and funk in one lounge, or spending the late-night hours on the dance floor with DJs who keep the party going until dawn. Whether you enjoy high-energy nightlife or intimate venues where conversation comes easily, you'll find both onboard.
Meet & Greets help turn a ship of strangers into a community. With more than 1,600 cabins onboard, it can feel overwhelming at first, especially for first-time cruisers. Throughout the week, guests can attend gatherings built around different interests and social styles, making it easier to find people with similar interests. We always encourage our guests to attend these events, and we'll also be hosting a Naughty Events Meet & Greet where guests who book through us can connect, make introductions, and start building friendships from the very beginning of the voyage.
Workshops & Seminars add another dimension to the experience. Like our events in New Orleans, Bliss believes that lifestyle travel can be about more than entertainment and nightlife. Throughout the cruise, guests can attend educational presentations and interactive workshops covering relationships, communication, intimacy, personal growth, and a variety of lifestyle topics. Many couples return home not only with incredible memories but also with new ideas, stronger connections, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their partners.
Mardi Gras Extravaganza
Immediately after the cruise, there is a 5 -Night Hotel Takeover over Mardi Gras weekend
Extend The Adventure
For guests who aren't ready for the fun to end when the ship returns to New Orleans, the adventure continues with Mardi Gras Extravaganza, a five-night hotel takeover immediately following the cruise.
One of the challenges of any great vacation is saying goodbye to the friends you've made along the way. Mardi Gras Extravaganza gives couples the opportunity to keep the experience going, reconnect with friends from the cruise, and enjoy five additional days of social events, themed parties, entertainment, and the excitement of Mardi Gras in the city that celebrates it better than anywhere else.
Couples can choose the experience that best fits them. Some guests will join us only for the cruise. Others may prefer to attend Mardi Gras Extravaganza without the cruise. For those who want the ultimate experience, combining both creates nearly two weeks of unforgettable memories, new friendships, and nonstop excitement.
Experience Mardi Gras like Never before
Throughout the event, guests will enjoy nightly theme parties, social gatherings, and opportunities to experience Mardi Gras in the comfort and convenience of a community of like-minded couples. Spend your days exploring the French Quarter, enjoying world-famous restaurants, catching live music, or experiencing the energy of Mardi Gras season before returning each evening for another incredible night of entertainment and celebration.
After all, if you're going to experience Mardi Gras, why not experience it with thousands of new friends?
