Shorter cruises are perfect for quick getaways or for anyone who may be short on vacation time from work. Cruise lines offer shorter cruises that can range anywhere from two to four days in length.

Most cruise lines have select cruise ships sailing three and four night cruises to the Bahamas. The three day cruises typically leave on Friday and come back on Monday. The four night cruises depart on Monday and arrive back on Friday.

Here is a look at the best cruise lines for short cruises.

Margaritaville at Sea

Margaritaville at Sea is the leader in short cruises and that’s all they actually offer. They offer two night cruises from the Port of Palm Beach that visit the Bahamas and they start at just $101 per person.

These cruises are perfect for anyone that lives near South Florida and just wants a two night trip away. You can take one of the weekend cruises and not even miss a day of work.

Since rebranding from Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line to Margaritaville at Sea, the cruises are more fun than ever. I took a two night cruise last summer on Margaritaville at Sea and loved it. My wife and I were looking for a really quick getaway and it was the perfect short cruise.

It is a little more of a party atmosphere than most cruises but after all, it is Margaritaville at Sea.

Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean is taking short cruises to a new level later this year when for the first time, they will have an Oasis class ship sailing the three and four night cruises to the Bahamas.

Allure of the Seas will homeport at Port Canaveral and the ship’s first four night cruise will take place on October 30, 2023. The four night cruises will visit Nassau and the cruise line’s award winning private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. They will also have one sea day.

The three day cruises will visit the same ports but not have a sea day. Select cruises will only visit the private island.

The Oasis class cruise ships are currently the largest in the world and having one of them sailing the short cruises to the Bahamas will let even those with short vacation time experience one of these amazing ships. View Prices on Allure of the Seas

Royal Caribbean also offers short cruises on other ships.  Those from the West Coast can sail on the popular Amplified ship, Navigator of the Seas, starting at just $190 per person.

Other Royal Caribbean cruise ships that sail on short cruises to the Bahamas include Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Independence of the Seas.
