Nassau cruise port, in one paragraph
The Nassau Cruise Port sits on Prince George Wharf, at the edge of downtown Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. It is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, and several ships can be alongside at the same time. You walk off the pier straight into town: no tender, no shuttle.
Swimming with the pigs from Nassau
The famous swimming pigs of the Exumas are a flight or a long boat ride away. From the Nassau cruise port, the realistic version is Rose Island, about 19 km east by boat, where several operators run half-day trips with the pigs, a beach stop and snorkeling. Book one that guarantees the return to the pier before all aboard.
Same ship, next stop?
Nassau is on the Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean routes. Roatán, in Honduras, is on the Western Caribbean loop with Cozumel, Costa Maya and Belize City. In our survey of every published cruise calling at Roatán, only 8 of 1,068 also stop at Nassau.
If your ship sails the Western Caribbean instead, the Cozumel cruise port schedule and the Roatán cruise ship schedule cover the ports it most often visits. Roatán is where I live and where I meet my guests: small private groups, back at the ship with margin.
