Bahamas Getaway Cruise

A cruise out of Fort Lauderdale is one of the most popular ways to experience the best of the Caribbean, but this coastal South Florida city is a worthy destination in and of itself. Port Everglades is the main cruise port near Fort Lauderdale, but just a few miles away you’ll find beautiful white-sand beaches, a lively food and shopping scene, and cerulean blue waterways dotted with impressive yachts and sailboats.

Want to discover the best of Fort Lauderdale like a local? Go for an early-morning stroll along the Fort Lauderdale Beach promenade and watch the sun rise over the water. Then grab breakfast beachside at one of the many open-air cafes that line the waterfront. If you’re looking for a wilder way to spend the day, set out on an eco-kayak tour through mangrove forests, calm bays, and emerald-green inlets — Fort Lauderdale is home to more than 300 miles of waterways, which has earned it the nickname, “Venice of America.” Plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your vacation early.

A delightful island experience awaits on the Bahamian island of Bimini.

The powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters are perfect for sunbathing and swimming, with pristine underwater landscapes offering perfect snorkelling conditions. Visit the legendary Bimini Road, a submerged rock formation, which is said to be the gateway to the Lost City of Atlantis!

Embrace the laid-back atmosphere of the island while exploring the charming streets and art of Bimini. Visit Hemingway’s old haunts, such as the Compleat Angler Hotel and the Bimini Big Game Club.

Ships will dock at the Bimini Cruise Port, which is able to support some of the world’s largest vessels. The port itself offers basic amenities, including shops, restaurants, and currency exchange.

Grand Bahama Island is one of the most popular in The Bahamas chain, with its postcard-perfect beaches made of sand that shimmers like pearls, fronting clear waters in every hue of blue. Alongside its beaches, the island is known for its reef-lined coves, mangrove swamps, golf courses and friendly locals. Ships will dock at Lucayan Harbour.
