The Bahamas is a popular cruise destination to start cruise getaways. With activities from snorkeling, golfing, visiting historical sites and basking in the sun you can choose any cruise line offering Bahamian itineraries to enjoy three-day hops to full week trips!
The Best Time to Cruise
The Bahamas is a popular place for many water activities and destinations like Atlantis where they have water parks and swimming with the dolphins. The Bahamas’ islands are usually temperate all year, and while summer is warmest, the weather is also good for swimming in late spring and early fall. Winter can occasionally get chilly, so book your Bahamian cruise in the warmer seasons if you plan to get tanned!
What to Explore
Come and experience the warm sandy beaches, cold pina coladas, and the fresh sea breeze on a spectacular cruise around the Bahamas. Swim in the clearest waters, with visibility of over 200 feet. You’ll be exploring some of the best beaches in the world while enjoying the warm climate and refreshing waters.
The sun shines for more than 300 days a year, and the temperature rarely changes by more than a few degrees, so there isn’t really a low season in the Bahamas. Whether you want to spend most of your time lying on a beach, or you prefer to be active, this tropical place has something for everyone.
Try the Pirates Dungeon Tour in Nassau, where you’ll visit some of the famous pirate sites around the island. If you are travelling with family, the pirates will make it hard for your kids to leave after they learn all the interesting historical facts about the island performed by the well trained tour guides.
Also visit the straw market in Nassau where you can shop for souvenirs, or visit Atlantis which has a huge water park and is perfect for families. For those who are feeling more adventurous, check out the Nassau Shark Scuba Diving Adventure. You will need to be a certified diver, so make sure you get your PADI before you board the ship. The first dive is complimentary and it gives you the chance to get up close and personal feeding sharks!
Go snorkeling with stingrays at Blackbeard’s Cay, where you can feed and watch plenty colourful fish swimming in pristine waters, or perhaps try horseback riding in the ocean at Half Moon Cay. You’ll have great photo opportunities as there are more than enough fun and exciting things to do on these amazing islands. There is no room for boredom!
