Cruising is a great way to explore a region, visit multiple destinations in one trip, and lots of fun on board in between ports. Nassau is a cruising home port, making it the perfect spot for your clients to tack on a few extra days before or after their voyage.

Nassau’s state-of-the-art cruise port is centrally located just steps from downtown Nassau’s shopping, dining, and attractions, and a quick hop over the bridge leads to beautiful Paradise Island.
If you’re booking a Caribbean cruise and encouraging your clients to plan a pre- or post-cruise stay in Nassau Paradise Island, here are five great reasons that just might convince them!
There’s lots to see and do, just steps from the ship.
No long cab rides required – Nassau’s port is close to hotels, restaurants, shops, and amenities. Your clients can stay and play in a central location without venturing far, and save the longer journeys for the ship! Within walking distance of Prince George Wharf, they can shop along Bay Street, sample fresh seafood with a spectacular view, or enjoy a tour (and a cocktail) at John Watling’s Rum Distillery. And don’t forget the powdery-soft, white sand beaches – the perfect way to begin or end any unforgettable vacation experience.
Experience authentic Bahamian culture.
Nassau is home to galleries, museums, and historical sites aplenty, and a pre- or post-cruise stay is the perfect way to immerse in Bahamian culture. For a taste of true Bahamian cuisine, advise your traveller to sample conch salad or fritters at the Fish Fry at Arawak Cay or McKenzie’s Conch Shack.

Relax in luxe accommodations.
No small staterooms here – your clients can stretch their legs and enjoy the comfort and amenities of a full-service hotel before or after their cruise. From historic boutique properties to sprawling beachfront resorts, Nassau Paradise Island has room(s) for everyone.
Perhaps your clients would enjoy a pampering spa treatment at their hotel before the cruise, to help them slip into vacation mode, or they could kick off the trip with a visit to one of The Bahamas’ biggest and most exciting casinos. And you can sell with confidence: no matter where they choose to stay, your clients will be greeted with legendary warm Bahamian hospitality and attentive service. Get started by browsing our current hotel deals.
Feel great about a hassle-free trip.
One of the biggest benefits to a pre-cruise stay is it eliminates embarkation day stress. Clients won’t need to worry about delayed flights, traffic jams on the way to the ship, or scrambling to pack last-minute items. With extra days built in, full vacation relaxation can begin. Forgot something? Pop into one of Nassau’s well-stocked shops to replenish your supplies.

Some of Nassau’s hotels and resorts (Margaritaville Beach Resort, for example) is actually within walking distance of the cruise port, and Baha Mar is a quick, stress-free ride away. Your travellers can wake up and stroll onboard...it truly doesn’t get any easier.
Not ready for vacation to end just yet? It doesn’t have to!

Typically, disembarkation marks the end of a trip and an all-too-sudden return to reality. Booking your clients a post-cruise stay in Nassau Paradise Island lets the vacation vibes last a little longer. They can spend a couple of days soaking up the sunshine, lounging on the beautiful beaches, and regaining land legs after the cruise. Eventually, the real world will beckon, but they’ll thank you for suggesting a few more days of island time.
