Kick Off Summer: Bahamas & Dominican Republic


5-Day Bahamas & Dominican Republic from Port Canaveral: Great Stirrup Cay & Puerto Plata

June 9 – June 14, 2027 | Norwegian Escape | Roundtrip from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida

Five nights, two very different stops, and zero wasted vacation days.
Start with a full day on Norwegian's private island in the Bahamas, with a long list of all new features added in 2026. Then head to the Dominican Republic for mountain views and waterfalls. In between, Norwegian Escape brings the fun: a huge Aqua Park, a ropes course over the ocean, and a promenade made for sunset cocktails. It's the ideal summer kickoff for families, couples, and anyone who needs a reset.

CRUISE ITINERARY

Wednesday, June 9 | Port Canaveral, Florida (Embark)

Port Canaveral is an easy drive from Orlando and a short flight for most of the country. You can tack a theme park day on the front of the trip and still make an afternoon sailaway with rocket launch towers on the horizon.

  • Grab a drink on The Waterfront, the ship's oceanside promenade, and watch Florida's Space Coast fade behind you.

  • Get a head start on the Aqua Park slides while everyone else is still unpacking.

Thursday, June 10 | Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas

Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian's private island in the Bahamas. Expect white sand, calm turquoise water, and a full day to either do everything or absolutely nothing.

  • Snorkel, kayak, or paddleboard the island's clear, calm water.

  • Rent a cabana or book a villa at Silver Cove for a day of shade, service, and lagoon views.

Friday, June 11 | At Sea

Your first full day of open ocean, and the perfect time to explore every corner of the ship.

  • Take on the ropes course, one of the largest at sea, and walk the plank that hangs out over the ocean.

  • Book a Thermal Suite pass at Mandara Spa and let the heated loungers and hydrotherapy pool do the rest. There's even a room that makes it snow.

Saturday, June 12 | Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Puerto Plata pairs Victorian-era architecture with lush mountains and a coastline that doesn't quit. It's a short morning in port, but it packs in plenty.

  • Ride the cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres for sweeping views of the city and coast.

  • Climb, jump, and slide through the waterfalls of Damajagua.

  • Enjoy the complimentary access to the Taino Bay resort at the Puerto Plata port with pools, white sand, and even a lazy river!

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Sunday, June 13 | At Sea

One more lazy day before heading home, with no alarms and no agenda.

  • Claim a lounger at Spice H2O, the adults-only deck with its own pool, grotto, hot tubs, and bar.

  • Spend the afternoon on the Aqua Park's twisting slides before a final dinner at sea.

Monday, June 14 | Port Canaveral, Florida (Disembark)

Back in Port Canaveral with a sunburn you're proud of and a camera roll full of turquoise water.
