Amber Sands – Puerto Plata & Grand Bahama

About this cruise

By July 1, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of New York, visiting Celebration Key, Nassau and Half Moon Cay, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Carnival Venezia. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 8-night sailing is a strong place to start.
