Golden Shores – Grand Turk & Nassau

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 August 1, 2026 visits Grand Turk Island, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Nassau and Celebration Key. In between port days, the 2 sea days are where cruise life actually happens: reading, eating, napping, repeat. The Caribbean route takes in Turks & Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic and Bahamas, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Grand Turk Island alone is worth the trip, Where the shelf drops into the deep blue. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Mardi Gras keeps you well fed. 16 places to eat, with 9 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. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
