Itinerary
- Travel to South Carolina
Excitement is high with anticipation of our cruise and tour adventure as we board the motorcoach and make our way south into the state of Tennessee where a get-acquainted dinner awaits. Later, we reboard the motorcoach to make our way into South Carolina. (Dinner and breakfast)
- Charleston, South Carolina
In Charleston a guided tour along the cobblestone streets lined with antebellum homes brings history alive. See the Old Market and Exchange, and visit the famous "Battery at the Harbor," which overlooks Fort Sumter. It was here, in April of 1861, that the first shot of the Civil War was fired. Later, we board our ship, the Carnival Fantasy where we enjoy our first dinner on board. (Breakfast and dinner)
- Day at Sea
Your first full day at sea is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the many amenities Carnival Fantasy has to offer. This "floating resort" features fine and casual dining, complimentary 24-hour stateroom service, a full casino, including table games and slots, and dozens of fun activities. Enjoy dinner tonight at any one of the dining rooms available. (All meals on board)
- Freeport, Grand Bahama Island
When Christopher Columbus visited here in 1492, how could he have known the island he named Gran Bajamar (Great Shallows) would become the second most popular destination in the Bahamas. Although the island's capital city Freeport/Lucaya is well known for its gaming, night-time entertainment and world-class duty-free shopping, outside the city is an entire island filled with gorgeous beaches, natural wonders, including one of the world's largest underwater cave systems, three national parks and an incredible resource of marine life. There are small towns that seem to sleep in time, which hide a history unlike any other in the Caribbean. (All meals on board)
- Nassau, Bahamas
What makes Nassau so special? Picture an idyllic place with stretches of perfect white-sand beaches, gracefully swaying coconut palms offering oases of shade, and warm, crystal-clear waters revealing the secrets of incredible multi-colored marine life. Whether you spend the day shopping for duty-free gifts and mementos, taking an optional carriage ride past sorbet-colored buildings, or touring in a glass-bottom boat, chances are you'll leave this happy place in the Bahamas with lots of beautiful memories. (All meals on board)
- Day at Sea
Today make our way along the coast of Florida and Georgia to South Carolina. Give Lady Luck a try in the casino, catch a movie, or simply relax poolside with a good book. This evening, why not see a Vegas-style show or dance the night away under the stars on your last night on board. (All meals on board)
- Disembark the Carnival Fantasy
We arrive back in Charleston this morning well rested from our five glorious days aboard the Carnival Fantasy. We disembark the ship and begin our motorcoach journey home by traveling north into Kentucky to the college town of Berea.
