Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau is a leading port in the Bahamas and is scheduled to receive vessels from a variety of cruise lines all summer long. While in Nassau, you can visit historic rum distilleries, enjoy off-the-beaten-path food tours and experience the feeling of soft white sand on your feet at this historic city’s palm-fringed beaches.
Nassau is home to the captivating Atlantis resort, an ocean-themed property inspired by the whimsical myth. Guests can enjoy a waterpark and aquarium on its grounds. While only certain sections of the sprawling resort are available to non-guests, members of the public are able to purchase individual and group day passes to take part in Atlantis’s food, shopping and adult gaming options.
