Mardi Gras Extravaganza for Lifestyle Couples
Bliss Cruise & LS Events are creating a better way to celebrate Mardi Gras! Join us for a 6-night Bliss Cruise sailing from New Orleans, followed by a 5-Night NOLA Mardi Gras Experience designed exclusively for lifestyle couples.
First, Set sail from New Orleans for a 6-night, couples-only Mardi Gras 2028 adventure on Bliss Cruise Mariner of the Seas. Enjoy a lifestyle cruise with clothing-optional opportunities onboard and stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya. This sexy, high-energy "lifestyle" voyage is the perfect prelude to our exclusive hotel takeover in the heart of the celebration.
Second, depart the ship Friday morning for a 5-night New Orleans Mardi Gras Experience & Hotel Takeover through “Fat Tuesday”! Whether you choose to stay at the main takeover hotel or not, you will have exclusive use of our home-base. We will provide a curated guide for exploring NOLA and all of the Mardi Gras activities this great city has to offer.
More about the Cruise:
Hundreds of events onboard including Meet & Greets, Workshops and Seminars, theme nights, pool parties, and other Bliss Signature Events.
Bliss Signature Events are not standard parties or scheduled entertainment. They are fully immersive experiences designed to create days and nights you will talk about long after the ship returns to shore.

Sensual Spaces
• The Playrooms: From the 22-hour Solarium and versatile Conference Room to the professional Dungeon and open-air Exterior Playroom, every space is full-service.
• Growth & Socializing: Engage in Tantra workshops, "playshops," and daily meet-and-greets.
• The Promenade: The ultimate nightly "see and be seen" hub.
Experience a vibrant community atmosphere with all the luxury of a cruise—minus the "mega-ship" crowds.
This sailing brings together a vibrant community of like-minded couples for a cruise that feels equal parts electric, indulgent & easy to enjoy at your own pace. Whether you are a first-timer drawn in by the mystery of Mardi Gras or a seasoned guest ready for a brand-new Bliss experience, this cruise gives you room to celebrate, connect & explore in the way that feels right for you & your partner.
Cozumel brings sun-drenched beauty, easy island energy and the kind of Caribbean backdrop that makes every moment feel a little sexier. Spend the day soaking in turquoise water, lounging by the shore, exploring colorful local spots or slipping into vacation mode with a cold drink and nowhere to rush off to. It is the perfect blend of tropical freedom and playful escape before another unforgettable night back on board.
Costa Maya offers a more laid-back kind of temptation with soft coastal charm, bright blue water and plenty of ways to savor the day your way. Explore beach clubs, discover local flavor, wander the shoreline or simply settle in and enjoy a slower, more sensual pace before the energy builds again that night. It is relaxed, beautiful and made for couples who want a little adventure without losing the easy Bliss flow.

Do I have to stay at the Jung Hotel to attend?

Do I have to stay all 5 nights of event if I stay at The Jung Hotel?

Why book the cruise too?
The Mardi Gras event is the grand finale—high-energy, dazzling, unforgettable. But the cruise is where the experience really builds. It gives you days to connect, explore, and settle into the Bliss vibe, so by the time you arrive, you’re not surrounded by strangers—you’re celebrating with people you already know.
Think of the cruise as the perfect lead-in: sun-soaked days, immersive events and parties, and time to fully become your true self before the excitement of Mardi Gras. It’s what transforms the experience from a single great event into something deeper, more connected, and far more memorable.
Why do I need to book now?
By booking early, you’ll receive early bird booking rates for both the Cruise and the land based Mardi Gras event. Secondly, hotel rooms get more and more expensive as you get closer to Mardi Gras, so take advantage of the lower rates by booking now.
