Yes, a plantation visit will fit into a New Orleans cruise port schedule when the ship leaves several hours between docking and final boarding. Destrehan Plantation is 25min from downtown New Orleans, and its guided house tour lasts 45min to 1hr. A drive out admission ticket gives cruise passengers more control over the return time than a shared excursion lasting 5hrs or longer, though the final fit depends on the ship’s posted all aboard time.
