Shallows Dance – CocoCay & Nassau

About this cruise

Book 4 days off from August 10, 2026 and this cruise from Fort Lauderdale will do the rest, taking you to Nassau and CocoCay and back. The mix of 2 days ashore and 1 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Nassau, Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 7 restaurants on Jewel Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Fort Lauderdale 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. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
