Itinerary Details
Join us aboard Carnival Dream for a fun-filled 7-night cruise to the Bahamas, sailing roundtrip from Galveston, Texas from February 27 – March 6, 2027. This itinerary blends vibrant coastal cities, beautiful island destinations, and relaxing days at sea — creating the perfect mix of adventure and downtime.
Your journey begins in Galveston, a historic Gulf Coast port known for its charming architecture, scenic seawall, and laid-back coastal vibe. After setting sail, enjoy a full day at sea to explore everything the ship has to offer — from incredible dining and entertainment to pools, bars, and relaxing ocean views.
Your first port of call is Key West, Florida, where colorful streets, tropical scenery, and a lively atmosphere welcome you. Stroll through Old Town, visit historic homes like Hemingway’s, or soak in the sunshine at the southernmost point in the United States.
Next, experience Celebration Key™, Carnival’s brand-new private destination in the Bahamas. Designed exclusively for Carnival guests, this stop offers something for everyone — from expansive white-sand beaches and the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean, to family-friendly splash zones, vibrant local culture, and adults-only beach club experiences.
From there, you’ll visit Nassau, Bahamas, where turquoise waters, soft sand beaches, and island energy set the scene. Whether you choose to relax by the water, explore local markets, visit Atlantis Resort, or enjoy a dolphin encounter, Nassau offers a little something for every traveler.
After additional relaxing days at sea, you’ll return to Galveston on March 6 — refreshed, recharged, and filled with unforgettable memories from your time aboard Carnival Dream.
