Country Description

The Bahamas is a developed, English-speaking Caribbean nation composed of hundreds of islands covering a territory approximately the size of California. Tourism and financial services comprise the two largest sectors of the economy. Independent from the United Kingdom since 1973, The Bahamas is a Commonwealth nation with a democratic tradition more than a century old. The capital, Nassau, is located on New Providence Island. To the north lies Freeport on Grand Bahama Island, the nearest sizeable settlement to Florida’s major shipping hub, and the second most important populous city in The Bahamas

Itinerary:

Day 1: Baltimore, MD

Depart 05:00 PM

Set sail from the Charm City’s historic harbor on Carnival cruises from Baltimore, Maryland. Many of Baltimore’s vibrant neighborhoods and most important sights — including the original Star-Spangled Banner waving over Fort McHenry — can be found near the lively seaport, making it a snap to get a taste of the city. A collection of museums, markets, and maritime activities — like a thriving centuries-old marketplace — will start your Carnival cruise from Baltimore in style. Then, once you’re aboard, your ship will open the door to a host of new adventures. With destinations like Bermuda, The Bahamas and the Caribbean, cruises out of Baltimore have the variety to please everyone in your party.

  • Stroll among the buzzing shops and maritime sites of the Inner Harbor.
  • Cheer for the hometown Baltimore Orioles during the summer baseball season.
  • Catch an artillery demonstration at the Revolutionary War-era Fort McHenry.
  • Snack on sweet treats at an old-world cafe in Little Italy.

Day 2 & 3: Fun Day at Sea

 
There are always lots of fun activities on board... or just lay back on a deck chair and do nothing at all!

Day 4: Nassau, the Bahamas

Arrive 08:00 AM Depart 05:00 PM

Sightseeing, swimming and soaking up the island flavor — it's all yours for the taking on a Carnival cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. Boasting balmy breezes and jumping to a bouncy calypso beat, Nassau promises sizzling fun in the sun. The historic and cultural heart of The Bahamas is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations — one million travelers board cruises to Nassau every year. Carnival guests come for fine beaches, shopping, water sports, and fun-filled attractions at the Atlantis Resort, connected to Nassau by a bridge to Paradise Island. Throw in a chance to swim with dolphins, or do a little slipping and sliding at a water park, and it's clear what makes Nassau a top spot for cruisers of all ages. 

  • Shop the straw market for cute and kitschy crafts.
  • Pose for the classic ‘dolphin kiss’ during a private island swim with the dolphins.
  • Relax on the white sands of a private island.
  • Stroll 18th-century colonial streets and climb the sandstone Queen’s Staircase.

    Day 5: Princess Cays, the Bahamas

    Arrive 08:00 AM Depart 05:00 PM

    Cruise to Princess Cays and you’ll come ashore in Love Boat Marina — a sign that this private resort on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas was designed to be classic cruising perfection. Make landfall and discover an island’s worth of vacation fun and amenities. You’ll find a BBQ pit already fired up for lunch, and a supervised kids’ area ready to receive the little ones. Somewhere among the palm trees you might spy the exclusive adult-only retreat. By now it’s clear that Princess Cays is good for more than just a beach day, but plan on fitting one in anyway — this wouldn’t be a prime cruise destination without great things to do, and great ways to get wet, like swimming, kayaking and sailing.

    • Rent a private beach bungalow and enjoy your stay in air-conditioned comfort.
    • Browse the shops for authentic, handmade Bahamian crafts.
    • Tour Princess Cays by dune buggy and sailboat to get the best views from all angles.

    Day 6: Freeport, the Bahamas

    Arrive 07:00 AMDepart 01:30 PM
    Cruise to Freeport, Bahamas for the ultimate white-sand beach, crystalline-water daydream come to life. The action is sizzling in Freeport, the resort center of Grand Bahama Island. You’ll find plenty of razzle-dazzle entertainment, from a casino to music clubs to barefoot beach bars. If that’s the Bahamas you’ve come for, great! But if you’re looking for the Bahamas with the seductive, palm-fringed beaches, gentle turquoise seas, and nature at its most vivid… Freeport has that, too. On a Carnival cruise to Freeport, you can enjoy a sun-baked day of your own kind of fun. Cruise to Freeport, Bahamas, and make your island getaway fantasies come true.
    • Shop for Bahamian goods in outdoor markets.
    • Soak up the scenery on Bahamas Adventures Beach's powdery crescent of sand.
    • Get up close to a dolphin at UNEXSO's Dolphin Experience.

    Day 7: Fun Day at Sea

     
    There are always lots of fun activities on board... or just lay back on a deck chair and do nothing at all!
