Bahamas Island Hop – Nassau & Grand Turk

About this cruise

You sail from New York on June 23, 2026 and spend 8 nights visiting Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk Island. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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 11 restaurants on Carnival Venezia, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
