Coral Reef Pulse – Nassau & Bimini from Norfolk

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 6-night round-trip sailing from Norfolk on October 25, 2026 visits Bimini, Nassau and Celebration Key. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 3 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Nassau: Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Sunshine keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 8 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 Norfolk before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 3 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
