Shimmering Span – Bahamian Outposts from Florida
About this cruise
If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Port Canaveral on November 29, 2026, visiting Nassau and Ocean Cay. The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Nassau alone is worth the trip, Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Around 13 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Seashore keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
