Sunlit Shallows – Nassau & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

You sail from Norfolk on January 17, 2027 and spend 6 nights visiting Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Carnival Sunshine. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 6-night sailing is a strong place to start.
