Sandy Solace – 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 15, 2026 visits Grand Turk Island, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Nassau and Celebration Key. The mix of 4 days ashore and 2 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Turks & Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic and Bahamas. People come back from this cruise talking about Puerto Plata (Amber Cove): Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 16 restaurants on Carnival Mardi Gras, 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. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 4 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
