Cruise Port of Call: Nassau, Bahamas
HistoryThe Bahamas were discovered by Christopher Columbus during his first voyage. He called the area baja mar, which means low or shallow sea, and the name stayed to this day. The British arrived in the 1600s after the Spaniards had left in search of gold, and many British fleeing the American Revolution settled there, along with southerners during the American Civil War. The Bahamas became an independent member of the British Commonwealth in 1973.
Nassau, the capital city, is located on New Providence Island. There are many historic sights including the Government House, the Queens Staircase and the statue of Queen Victoria in Parliament Square.
Things to Do
Nassau is a fun port to visit, and you can do everything from swimming with the dolphins to shopping at the Straw Market. You may choose to explore Nassau on your own, or sign up for a shore excursion to the nearby Atlantis resort on Paradise Island. Here is a list of some of the more popular activities in Nassau:
Take a harbor cruise around Nassau harbor;
Enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving in the beautiful coral reefs;
Have a once-in-a-lifetime encounter swimming with dolphins;
Enjoy the beach and casino at Cable Beach or Paradise Island;
Tour the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, which includes a unique themed aquarium; or
Enjoy a relaxing day shopping on Bay Street for unique items from around the world.
Getting Around
Getting around Nassau is relatively easy, whether you decide upon a shore excursion or to explore on your own. If you are planning on staying in town to enjoy the shops and sights, than a self-guided walking tour may be your best bet. If you are planning to visit the beaches and casinos at either Cable Beach, or across the bridge at Paradise Island, taxis and jitneys are available as you leave the wharf.
