Bahamas Escape – Great Stirrup Cay & Nassau

About this cruise

Some of the best trips are the ones you barely had to plan. 5 nights from Jacksonville on December 5, 2026, visiting Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau, and you're home before the laundry piles up. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Don't rush through Great Stirrup Cay, which is known as A private Bahamian escape. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Dawn keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 5 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 Jacksonville before boarding. It's a good city to wander. All told, 2 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
