5 Night Bahamas Cruise aboard the Carnival Mardi Gras

Share

Step aboard the Carnival Mardi Gras and prepare yourself for five nights of tropical sailing around the Caribbean from Port Canaveral and back!

This trip is noteworthy because you will only experience less common cities like Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau. This route is an interesting one for the Mardi Gras. Actually, this is the only time it's going to sail it!

Our price is the total price, including all entertainment, meals, taxes, and port fees.
