Bahamas Escape – Grand Bahama & Eleuthera

About this cruise

5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Jacksonville on August 3, 2026 visits Celebration Key and Princess Cays 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, You won't go hungry on Carnival Elation. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
