Short Ocean Escape – Nassau, Castaway Cay & Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

4 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Fort Lauderdale on August 20, 2026 and visits Nassau and Disney Castaway Cay. That gives you 2 days in port and 1 at sea, enough of each to find a rhythm. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Disney Destiny (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
