New Orleans, Louisiana
First-time visitors are often struck by the European flavor of New Orleans. It's everywhere in the architecture, cuisine, music and characteristic accent of the locals. And the "Big Easy" has around 40,000 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Clearly, more than just home to Mardi Gras, it is a mix of cultures with African, French, Spanish, Creole and Cajun influences -- a city of privileged and poor, and a place of history, romance, intrigue and debauchery.

French Quarter
This famed quarter (Vieux Carré) is the heart of the original city and features much of the rowdy characteristics that New Orleans is known for, such as the nightlife on Bourbon Street and street performers on Jackson Square.

Garden District
This National Historic District includes Spanish moss-covered mansions, antiquated graveyards with hauntingly beautiful tombstones, the Audubon Zoological Gardens and Tulane University.

Aquarium of the Americas
This impressive array of underwater habitats, including local creations of the Mississippi River and Delta wetlands, as well as a Caribbean reef tube and as far away as the Amazon basin.

Always one of America's more gracious and welcoming cities -- for vacationers, particularly -- New Orleans and its citizens (and by that I mean everyone from folks in the tourism sector to shopkeepers and restaurateurs) seems almost desperate for you to visit. One shop owner in Riverwalk Marketplace, upon selling me a can of Cafe du Monde coffee, asked me anxiously if I'd had a good trip -- and then implored me to "spread the word". She wasn't the first, either.

In a twist on the cliche "what's old is new again," the city's classics -- Brennan's, the fabulous Hotel Monteleone, the aforementioned Commander's Palace and Aquarium of the Americas -- are among those that are back and even better than before due to recent (and unplanned) renovations. As one Hotel Monteleone staffer told us, "we completed our $70 million renovation in November 2004 ... however Katrina remodeled the 16th floor for us. We now have a brand-new, state-of-the-art fitness center, pool deck and pool." Cruise Marketplace books cruises departing from New Orleans - 1-800-826-4333.
