Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

This one leaves Norfolk on April 4, 2026 and spends 8 nights visiting Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Bahamas to Dominican Republic. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Sunshine has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Norfolk and come back with stories from Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands and Dominican Republic.
