Emerald Shoal – Grand Bahama & Celebration Key

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Port Canaveral on January 22, 2028 visits Celebration Key, Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Of the stops, Half Moon Cay tends to be the one people talk about: A private crescent of Bahamian perfection. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Vista, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
