Sun-Kissed Paradise – Nassau & Eleuthera

About this cruise

There's a reason 6-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Tampa on September 28, 2026 and visits Celebration Key, Princess Cays and Nassau. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Carnival Paradise keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 6-night sailing is a strong place to start.
