Caribbean Escape – Puerto Plata & Bahamas

About this cruise

5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Port Canaveral on July 7, 2027 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Great Stirrup Cay and you'll feel it from day one. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Escape takes the food seriously, with 17 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Port Canaveral has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 5-night sailing is a strong place to start.
