Description

Experience the best of Nassau by cruising around Paradise Island Harbor and driving past must-see attractions that you might visit later on your own. Your exploration of Nassau will begin at Prince George Dock aboard a custom catamaran, where you can settle in with a cool drink in hand. As you head into the harbor, the guide will provide entertaining commentary about sights such as the Hog Island Lighthouse, the Cloisters and Fort Montagu, which was built with limestone in 1741, making it the island’s oldest fort. Once ashore, you will see Nassau from a different perspective. One of the highlights will certainly be the Queen’s Staircase, which hundreds of enslaved people hand-carved out of solid limestone. Its name honors Queen Victoria, who abolished slavery in the British Empire. You will also explore Bay Street in the heart of Nassau’s shopping district and pause for photos at the Atlantis Resort, an icon on Paradise Island.
