Golden Meridian – Bahamas from Jacksonville

About this cruise

Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Jacksonville on December 7, 2026, spends 5 nights visiting Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key, and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Half Moon Cay, A private crescent of Bahamian perfection. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Carnival Elation. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
