Short Ocean Escape – Great Stirrup Cay, Nassau & Miami

About this cruise

You leave Miami on July 31, 2028 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau. The pace is well balanced: 1 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Aqua joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
