Bahamas Escape – Grand Turk & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Norfolk on June 7, 2026, visiting Grand Turk Island, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. As for the ship itself, There are 15 restaurants on Carnival Sunshine, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Norfolk and come back with stories from Turks & Caicos Islands and Bahamas.
