Day 1: Miami
Departs at 3:30 PMDreaming of an island vacation? Make your dreams a reality with one of Carnival’s year-round cruises from Miami. Because it’s so close to the Caribbean and The Bahamas, Miami is known as the cruise capital of the world. But it’s more than just convenient — rev up for your cruise from Miami with the city’s nonstop action, from party-ready South Beach to the Mediterranean style of Coral Gables, plus spicy Little Havana, which hums to an island beat. Once you’ve experienced all the South Florida architectural beauty, energetic street life and sun-kissed beaches, you may want to extend your stay in the Magic City after your cruise returns.
- Drink up the sizzling nightlife on boisterous Ocean Drive.
- See the classic architecture in the South Beach Art Deco historic district.
- Grab a cafecito and a Cubano sandwich on Calle Ocho in Little Havana.
- Enjoy sightseeing, shopping, beaches, restaurants and bars on a hop-on/hop-off bus.
- Glide past gators on an airboat ride in the Everglades.
Day 2: Fun Day at Sea
There are always lots of fun activities on board... or just lay back on a deck chair and do nothing at all!
Day 3: Half Moon Cay
8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
When cruise pros dig a little deeper into The Bahamas’ 700+ islands, they find hidden gems like Half Moon Cay.
This one’s a private island, and — smile! — you’re absolutely welcome here. Grab a Carnival cruise to Half Moon Cay and from your first toe in the sand you’ll understand why it’s anything but a typical destination. All the features and excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pause for a bit, opening up your vacation with a unique island experience.
Cozy up and lounge with your personal someone-special in a clam-shell, a shady hideaway for two. Plus, if you’re looking for more private stretch-out space there are cabanas and villas to rent. And who can resist the siren’s call of an expert massage by the beach? You know, relaxing is encouraged at Half Moon Cay... but against this pristine backdrop there’s still so much to do! Play in turquoise seas, ride horseback on powdery white sand, or gently paddle a kayak through acres of protected lagoon, encountering silky-smooth stingrays and so much more.
This island is a little off the typical cruise path but isn’t a complete mystery — Half Moon Cay was just named Best Private Island by Porthole Cruise Magazine... for the 20th straight year!

Day 4: Nassau
8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Sightseeing, swimming and soaking up the island flavor — it's all yours for the taking on a Carnival cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. Boasting balmy breezes and jumping to a bouncy calypso beat, Nassau promises sizzling fun in the sun. The historic and cultural heart of The Bahamas is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations — one million travelers board cruises to Nassau every year. Carnival guests come for fine beaches, shopping, water sports, and fun-filled attractions at the Atlantis Resort, connected to Nassau by a bridge to Paradise Island. Throw in a chance to swim with dolphins, or do a little slipping and sliding at a water park, and it's clear what makes Nassau a top spot for cruisers of all ages.
- Shop the straw market for cute and kitschy crafts.
- Pose for the classic ‘dolphin kiss’ during a private island swim with the dolphins.
- Relax on the white sands of a private island.
- Stroll 18th-century colonial streets and climb the sandstone Queen’s Staircase.
