Although Nassau still shows evidence of centuries of British influence, it's also prettily colored and flavored by the slow pace of the tropics. The Bahamas' capital boasts a wide range of attractions: quaint architecture, glitzy resorts, and clear blue water that's perfect for sailing, snorkeling and diving. Try your bargaining skills at the famous Straw Market. If that tires you out, hop aboard a horse-drawn carriage for an historic tour.

Bertram's Cove may be the ultimate in premier snorkeling sites, with its shallow beach-side entry, gin-clear waters and colorful sea fans and corals that attract a variety of tropical fish. If you'd rather relax in a hammock or dance the limbo, that's all right, too. Whatever else you do, don't forget the scrumptious barbecue lunch.
Sample Shore Excursions:
- Private Island Snorkel - One of our most popular programs, this snorkel experience is perfect for beginners and experts alike. You'll have your equipment all day, so you can snorkel when you feel like it. Ask any of the instructors on the beach for a free lesson, and then you'll be ready to explore the exciting underwater world of NCL's very own private island. Swim or wade around in the sandy shallows to check out the many schools of fish and our artificial reef. Or if conditions permit, swim outside the cove and discover deeper water and coral formations. You might even meet Bert & Ernie, our friendly resident stingrays. Your knowledgeable Dive In instructors will even snorkel around the cove with you to point out the local marine life during our complimentary guided tours, which depart from the beach hourly.
Note: Participants must be able to swim.
- Parasail - Sail 400 feet above the pristine waters of the Bahamas in tandem while being towed by a brand new parasail boat off the beach of Great Stirrup Cay. Note: Participants must weigh at least 60 lbs., but this might vary depending on the weather conditions of the day. Parasailing is seasonal, and usually available during the summer months only.
