Caribbean & Atlantic Crossing – New York

About this cruise

If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Port Canaveral on May 17, 2026 through Celebration Key, Oranjestad, Willemstad, St. Thomas and New York is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. The trip wraps in New York, so you won't retrace your steps. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Bahamas, Netherlands, U.S. Virgin Islands and United States. Keep an eye out for Celebration Key: Carnival's newest private island escape. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Venezia has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 11 nights well spent.
