  1. Port Overview

  1. Nassau, Bahamas

  2. Nassau is the capital city and commercial centre of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Located on New Providence island, Nassau has an attractive harbour, a colourful blend of old world and colonial architecture and a busy port. The tropical climate and natural beauty of the Bahamas has made Nassau a popular tourist destination, with a reputation for relaxing days and an exciting nightlife.

    There is something in Nassau for everyone. For a taste of history, there's the historic Colonial city with 18th century Fort Charlotte, the Queen's Stairway, the Parliament Buildings and Fort Fincastle. There's the beach, with sailing, lounging in the sand, fishing, surfing, windsurfing, scuba diving and snorkeling. Or there's the spectacular Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, with casinos, luxury hotels, aquariums, restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
