Bahamas Escape – Freeport & Nassau
About this cruise
Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Fort Lauderdale on August 14, 2026, spends 3 nights visiting Freeport and Nassau, and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. 2 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Don't rush through Freeport, which is known as Duty-free shopping on Grand Bahama's shore. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Jewel Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Works well as a long weekend away, or a quick reset between bigger trips. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 2 ports across 3 nights covers a lot.
