3 nights. Bahamas

Day 1

port canaveral, florida

Departure: 16:00

Cape Canaveral, located on Florida’s Space Coast, is a must‑visit destination for anyone fascinated by space exploration and coastal living. Just an hour east of Orlando, this barrier island combines pristine Atlantic beaches with one of the world’s most important spaceports. The atmosphere is relaxed and beachy, yet infused with the excitement of rocket launches that regularly light up the sky. The area’s star attraction is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where you can walk beneath towering Saturn V rockets, see real Space Shuttles, explore interactive exhibits, and even meet veteran astronauts. Time your visit with a scheduled launch to experience the ground‑shaking power of a rocket liftoff from designated viewing areas—an unforgettable highlight of any trip. Be sure to book tickets in advance, especially during peak seasons and major missions. Beyond space, Cape Canaveral offers natural beauty and outdoor activities. Miles of sandy coastline invite swimming, surfing, and leisurely walks at sunrise, while nearby Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is ideal for bird‑watching, manatee spotting, and kayaking through mangrove-lined waterways. Port Canaveral, one of the world’s busiest cruise ports, is also a lively spot for seafood dining, waterfront bars, and fishing charters. Cape Canaveral’s compact size makes it easy to explore by car or bicycle, and its laid‑back vibe contrasts nicely with the high‑tech history on display. Stay in a beachside hotel or vacation rental, enjoy fresh local seafood, and let your days alternate between learning about humanity’s journey into space and relaxing by the ocean. It’s a unique blend of science, nature, and Florida coastal charm.

perfect day cococay - bahamas

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

CocoCay or Little Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of cays and small islands, and is located approximately 55 miles north of Nassau. It is used for tourism by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd exclusively. Little Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruises' private island since 1977. In 2019, the island was extensively renovated by Royal Caribbean at the cost of $250 million USD. A pier was constructed on the north side of the island, which allows cruise ships to dock directly instead of using tenders. The east end is the center of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatee, rays, and numerous fish can be seen. Nature trails run the entire length and width of the island. The renovation also included a water park, with North America’s largest water slide, Daredevil’s Peak.
