Bahamas & Caribbean Escape – San Juan & St. Thomas

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Port Canaveral on December 27, 2026 and visits Celebration Key, San Juan and St. Thomas. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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, Carnival Venezia takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Port Canaveral has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
