Bahamas Cruise

The beautiful islands of the Bahamas are a popular cruise destination for summer cruise holidays. With over 700 islands, you'll find so many cruise itineraries to choose from, as well as a great choice of cruise lines and ships. There are also some private islands you can visit on a cruise to the Bahamas which are owned by cruise lines and are only accessible by cruise ship. For example, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island, CocoCay, promises the 'Perfect Day' with a choice of places to relax by the pool or beach as well as thrilling attractions such as water slides and zip lines.

Many Bahamas itineraries depart on cruises from Miami or Florida cruises, but you can also sail from New York, Texas, and a host of North America cruise ports. The region's tropical climate and 2,400 cays - most of which are uninhabited - offer the perfect retreat to relax on the beaches; discover historic towns, and sample local delicacies with a rum punch in hand.

Summary
Nassau's sheltered harbor bustles with cruise-ship activity, while a block away Bay Street's sidewalks are crowded with shoppers who duck into air-conditioned boutiques and relax on benches in the shade of mahogany and lignum vitae trees. Shops angle for tourist dollars with fine imported goods at duty-free prices, yet you'll find a handful of stores overflowing with authentic Bahamian crafts, food supplies, and other delights. With a revitalization of downtown ongoing—the revamped British Colonial Hilton leading the way—Nassau is recapturing some of its past glamour. Nevertheless, modern influences are completely apparent: fancy restaurants, suave clubs, and trendy coffeehouses have popped up everywhere. These changes have come partly in response to the growing number of upper-crust crowds that now supplement the spring breakers and cruise passengers who have traditionally flocked to Nassau. Of course, you can still find a wild club or a rowdy bar, but you can also sip cappuccino while viewing contemporary Bahamian art or dine by candlelight beneath prints of old Nassau, serenaded by soft, island-inspired calypso music. A trip to Nassau wouldn't be complete without a stop at some of the island's well-preserved historic buildings. The large, pink colonial-style edifices house Parliament and some of the courts, while others, like Fort Charlotte, date back to the days when pirates ruled the town. Take a tour via horse-drawn carriage for the full effect.
