Nassau, Bahamas Port

The capital of the Bahamas, Nassau offers a fantastic array of attractions for the luxury cruise traveller. Its beaches are some of the finest in the whole Caribbean, with quiet sands for you to unwind. You’ve also ample opportunity to try more active excursions, including excellent snorkelling and scuba diving, with incredible schools of tropical fish just waiting to be discovered.

And don’t miss the chance to sample the fine seafood in the city’s excellent restaurants, or to wander the popular open-air markets where local traders showcase their ornamental wares and fine gifts.
