Tropical Haven – Nassau & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Norfolk on July 5, 2026 and visits Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Celebration Key. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 15 restaurants on Carnival Sunshine, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
