Cruising in the Bahamas is a popular vacation because there are
plenty of facilities for travellers to benefit from on-board the
boat as it travels casually between some of the most popular spots
in the island group. There are various Eastern Caribbean cruises
that feature the Bahamas as a destination, most often docking in
Nassau's Prince George Wharf and in Freeport, on Grand Bahamas
Island. While in the Bahamas, passengers will find pristine beaches
to laze on, as well as dozens of things to see and do. The island
towns also offer great dining and shopping options for
visitors.
The islands offer many attractions and activities, featuring
everything from Christopher Columbus' first stop in the New World
to Loyalist settlement ruins and the Glass Window Bridge, as well
as the largest underwater cave system known today. The mysterious
stone blocks in the waters off the Bimini Islands are thought to be
part of the 'lost city' of Atlantis, an alluring site for scuba
divers, and Long Island boasts the world's deepest 'blue hole'.
A visit to the Pirates of Nassau Museum is a must, while
horse-drawn cabs provide guided tours of colonial Nassau. The
Festival Place shopping mall is an outlet for local crafts and
food, and there are various other local markets throughout the
Bahamas selling an array of goods. Beautiful Caribbean weather
makes this a year-round destination and, with so much to see and
do, cruise passengers must be careful not to miss the boat...
