Caribbean Getaway – Nassau & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Port Canaveral on December 19, 2026 visits Nassau, Ocean Cay and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove). Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Port Canaveral, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Of the stops, Ocean Cay tends to be the one people talk about: MSC's marine reserve reborn from industry. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Grandiosa keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 1 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
