Nassau: A beautifully preserved city, with Victorian mansions, cathedrals and 18th-century fortresses

At MSCCruises we pride ourselves on compiling the best possible deals on cruise holiday packages and we know that your dream cruise vacation to the Caribbean would not be complete without a stop-over at ‘funky’ Nassau, the vibrant port that soul singer Ray Munnings sang about in his groovy 1969 hit.

This flat island is located in the north-eastern part of the island of New Providence in the Bahamas and covered by pine-tree woods, lakes and swamps.

In the North there are wonderful beaches, tourist ports, golf courses and many other venues for leisure and free time.

Your luxury MSC cruise liner will dock in Nassau’s sheltered harbour, the perfect stop to start visiting this beautifully preserved city, with its Victorian mansions, cathedrals, 18th-century fortresses and Queen's Staircase (the 66 steps lead to a breathtaking panoramic view).

Once off the ship, you will discover Nassau’s weather-beaten, ancient forts and fine local and international crafts and goods from handmade lengths of batik to Rolex watches.

An abundance of smart casinos, cabaret shows, and cruise ship docks make Nassau a vibrant centre for entertainment as well as commerce, and a memorable stop during your vacation.

If you’re fond of titbits for your next dinner on board, you’ll be interested to know that Nassau has featured prominently in cultural history, often being used as the setting for many Bond films, as well as for Flipper and Into the Blue.

 After leaving your luxury MSC cruise ship, join us on an excursion package to get to know Nassau

 NAS02 - Discover Atlantis (2 - 4 hrs) - 2013/2014
Level of difficulty: easy  When tour destinations are as evocatively named as Paradise Island and Atlantis Lagoon, you can be sure of one thing: a fabulous time. Once you have boarded your coach at the pier in Nassau on New Providence Island, you will first head north to cross over to Paradise Island and the Atlantis Resort. Since the Bahamas are a favourite contender for the place where the legendary city of Atlantis was once said to have stood, the resort features a faux archaeological site – simply named “The Dig” – that recreates what the ruins of ancient Atlantis might look like. Apart from taking you through the many fascinating exhibits of The Dig, your guided tour also includes a visit to Predator Lagoon, fittingly named for the sharks, barracudas and many other creatures form the deep that live there. As you make your way through the maze of underground passageways, have fun discovering archaeological artefacts and hieroglyphics while surrounded by a stunning civilization of sea animals. Expert guides will lead you through the ancient streets and help you to decode the legend of Atlantis as well as providing fascinating information on the habitat and behaviour of the marine wildlife.Please note: access to the pools, slides and beaches is not included in the tour. A shuttle bus will return you to the ship; information on the bus timetable will be provided on board the ship
