Bahamas & Beyond – Celebration Key & Nassau
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Galveston on December 18, 2026 visits Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Celebration Key: Carnival's newest private island escape. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Jubilee joined the Carnival Cruise Line's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. 3 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
