Sun-Bleached Shallows – Nassau & CocoCay from Miami

About this cruise

5 nights from Miami, visiting Nassau and CocoCay. It sails May 16, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Nassau: Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Freedom Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 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 Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
