Tropical Escape – Puerto Plata & Bahamas

About this cruise

6 nights, 3 ports, all from Port Canaveral on January 31, 2027. The route visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key and the whole thing just flows. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Carnival Vista 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. You start in Port Canaveral and come back with stories from Dominican Republic and Bahamas.
