Discover Nassau Town & Atlantis, The Bahamas

The Discover Nassau Town & Atlantis excursion offers an engaging blend of history, culture, and leisure, perfect for cruise passengers seeking a half-day adventure. 

Your journey begins at the cruise terminal, where you’ll meet your local guide and board an air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic drive through Nassau. The first stop is Fort Fincastle, a unique paddle-wheel–shaped fort built for defence but never used in battle. Nearby, you’ll explore the Queen Victoria Staircase, a striking landmark offering panoramic views of the island. These sites provide a fascinating glimpse into Nassau’s colonial past.

Next, the tour takes you to Bay Street, the bustling heart of Nassau’s shopping district, and the Straw Market, where you can browse handmade Bahamian crafts and souvenirs. Along the way, you’ll pass historic mansions, including Government House, and walk through Gregory’s Arch, a symbolic gateway marking the old town boundaries.

The excursion continues across the bridge to Paradise Island, home to the world-famous Atlantis Resort. Here, you’ll enjoy free time to explore the resort’s stunning architecture, casino, and shops, or simply take in the luxurious atmosphere. For those looking to enhance their experience, optional upgrades are available for purchase directly at Atlantis, including access to the aquarium and The Dig, beach privileges, or the full Aquaventure water park package. Please note that if you wish to stay at the resort longer than the designated stop, you'll need to arrange return transport to the cruise port at your own expense.

After your time at Atlantis, you’ll return comfortably to the cruise terminal, concluding a tour that perfectly balances cultural discovery with modern luxury.
