Bahamas Escape – Grand Bahama & Eleuthera

About this cruise

5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Jacksonville on June 22, 2026 visits Princess Cays and Celebration Key and you'll feel it from day one. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Elation has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
