Bahamas Cruises
Written by Jeff Heath
Cruises to the Bahamas depart from Miami and Port Canaveral weekly throughout the year.
Other departure ports with less frequency include Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, New York, and
Charleston, South Carolina. The most popular cruise destinations in the Bahamas are
Freeport and Nassau. Freeport, located on Grand Bahama Island, is only 100 miles east of
Miami. Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas, is located further south on New Providence
Island about 180 miles from Miami. Several cruise lines also include stops at their own
private islands in the Bahamas including CocoCay (Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines) and Great
Stirrup Cay (Norwegian Cruise Lines). Cruise vacations to the Bahamas are very
competitive. Cruises with all meals included and entertainment aboard the cruise ship will
cost travelers about $100 to $150 per night/per person for the modest interior cabins.
Bahamas cruises dock at Nassau and/or Freeport for up to 24 hours. Guests can go ashore to
explore on their own or they can select from one of the many shore tours offered by the
cruise lines for an additional cost. Shore excursions cost $20 to $125
(scuba diving and golf can be the most expensive excursions). Shore tours in Freeport and
Nassau include golf, shopping, snorkeling, scuba diving, city tours, dolphin encounters,
glass bottom boats and more. Arrangements for shore tours can be made aboard the cruise
ship.
