Tropical Haven – Grand Turk & Nassau

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Port Canaveral on August 8, 2026 visits Nassau, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Grand Turk Island and Celebration Key. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. The route threads through 3 countries along the Bahamas coast: Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Turks & Caicos Islands. People come back from this cruise talking about Celebration Key: Carnival's newest private island escape. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 16 restaurants on Carnival Mardi Gras, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 4 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
