Velvet Swell – Half Moon Cay & Grand Bahama

About this cruise

5 nights from Port Canaveral, visiting Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Celebration Key. It sails February 12, 2028 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Half Moon Cay: A private crescent of Bahamian perfection. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Mardi Gras has 16 dining spots on board, most of them included. 3 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
