Caribbean Escape – Bonaire & Grand Bahama

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Port Canaveral on October 10, 2026 visits Kralendijk, Oranjestad and Celebration Key. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Caribbean Netherlands, Aruba and Bahamas. Don't rush through Oranjestad, which is known as Aruba's cheerful Dutch-Caribbean capital. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 11 restaurants on Carnival Venezia, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 3 ports across 8 nights covers a lot.
