Turquoise Shallows – Nassau & Grand Turk
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort Lauderdale on December 21, 2026 and visits Nassau, CocoCay and Grand Turk Island. 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 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Brilliance Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
