Swift Shell – New Providence & Celebration Key

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Jacksonville on December 17, 2026, visiting Celebration Key and Nassau. The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Don't rush through Nassau, which is known as Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Elation has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. All told, 2 ports across 4 nights covers a lot.
