Short Ocean Escape – Castaway Cay, Nassau & Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Fort Lauderdale on September 4, 2026 for 3 nights visiting Disney Castaway Cay and Nassau. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Disney Destiny launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 3-night sailing is a strong place to start.
