 .New Orleans Irish Mardi Gras Cruise February 2010

Finbar joins Danny O'Flaherty for a musical sailing cruise of mayhem, music and madness in February 2010.

'We sail out of New Orleans on the week before Mardi Gras with a ship full of Irish
entertainers, old friends and new, plenty of sunscreen and all the makings of our
very own Carnival Krewe.  

And we arrive back in New Orleans ready for the biggest four days of Mardi Gras
parades and celebrations.  We'll be sailing aboard the 893 foot Carnival Triumph,
the ultimate in relaxation and adventure.  In addition to the private entertainment
package included with this tour you will have plenty of time to experience the onboard activities, wonderful restaurants, friendly casino, relaxing lounges,
invigorating spa, exciting nightclubs and duty-free shopping throughout the cruise.  
All this plus the new ports of call included in this spectacular vacation package.

With Finbar and Danny are Brian Gaffney, and the Lone Star Ceili Band and we will make merry on our way to the ports of Key West and Freeport and Nassau in the Bahamas. Surely, the highlight of our week at sea will be O'Houligan's Ball, a Mardi Gras escapade based on a uniquely New Orleans Irish tradition resurrected after more than 130 years.

The Celtic history, culture and music on this side of the Atlantic is equally as rich as you will discover on this Caribbean cruise.

If you're not from New Orleans, this is your ticket to enter the whimsical world of
Mardi Gras where royalty reigns, albeit with a generous bow to mock pomp and
circumstance.  Let us introduce you to the customs and traditions as you become a bonafided member of the KREWE.  Admittance to O'Houligan's Ball is de rigor so bring a costume and take part in this gala evening just like the New Orleans Irish of old.  

On the Carnival Triumph, the Irish on Board will sing day and night.  From rollicking sea chanties to soulful laments, we'll "Ride the Waves" on the high seas with our all star crew of Irish singers and musicians.

Join us as we mingle all things Celtic and Caribbean on this musical, magical Mardi Gras holiday.'
