Caribbean to Barcelona – Nassau & Funchal

About this cruise

A 21-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Port Canaveral on April 11, 2026 and visits Nassau, Ocean Cay and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), with additional stops along the Bahamas. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The Bahamas route takes in Bahamas, Dominican Republic, United States, Sint Maarten, Portugal and Spain, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Nassau, which is known as Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 7 ports across 21 nights covers a lot.
