The Bahamas is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world. Many major cruise lines such as Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity Cruises offer year-round cruises to this sunny tropical paradise. The Bahamas is composed of over 700 islands and 2,000 cays. However, typical cruise itineraries only visit two of the islands (aside from the private islands of various cruise lines). New Providence Island is the home of Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas. Grand Bahama Island is where Freeport is located, which is nearby the popular resort town of Lucaya.
You will discover a wide selection of exciting things to do in the Bahamas. With such a range of activities, there is something that guests of all ages and interests can enjoy. Among the many things to do while in the Bahamas are horseback riding, swimming with dolphins, boating, sailing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, bird watching, taking tours of their historic cities, and enjoying a wide range of water sports. All in addition to the fabulous amenities available to you on your cruise ship!
American Discount Vacations is proud to offer the best deals possible on all Bahamas cruises booked with us. Backed by our "Low Price Guarantee," and powered by our team of expert travel agents, we're sure to exceed your expectations when booking your next Bahamas cruise!

The following are just a few of the many things to do while in the Bahamas:
Paradise Island
This is the true definition of seaside vacationing! Accessible from Nassau via a quick taxi or bus, Paradise Island is the home of many resorts and beautiful beaches. Among the attractions is the Atlantis Resort, a luxurious retreat with a huge casino and amazing aquarium – it’s one of the most popular places in all of the Bahamas!
Beautiful Beaches
Beach bums rejoice! The Bahamas are filled with beautiful pink- and white-sand beaches, which is why most Bahamas cruise guests head to one of them while in port. If you’re looking to have some fun in the sun during your Bahamas cruise, you can check out some of the most popular beaches. Among these are Cable Beach (located in Nassau, nearby a bunch of restaurants, bars, and shops), Cabbage Beach (located on Paradise Island), Lucaya Beach (located near Freeport), and Xanadu Beach (a great white-sand beach near Freeport).
Duty-Free & Bargain Shopping
The Bahamas is a great place to shop until you drop, especially for unique products and souvenirs. Bay Street, located in Nassau, is where you want to go for bargain pricing on designer clothes, watches, jewelry, and more. Duty-free shopping means you can get quality items at a great price. Port Lucaya Marketplace, easily accessible from Freeport, is another location where you can take advantage of duty-free shopping.

Mainstream Cruise Lines
Value is a key feature of these popular cruise lines, as they offer lots of activities, entertainment and dining options, along with a variety of stateroom types. Some of the cruise lines in this category have ships with unique innovations like water slides, rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks, surfing simulators, bowling alleys, and boardwalks.
Their ships are usually anywhere from mid-sized to very large "mega" ships, accommodating thousands of guests. These ships give the feel of being in a large resort.
Mainstream cruise lines are a great option for just about everyone (including multi-generation families, and first-time cruisers), and typically have great youth programs.
During the cruise, entertainment may include Broadway productions, Vegas-style shows, comedians, and music. Some of these lines have select formal nights during the cruise. Specialty restaurants are becoming more and more common (some which have a cover charge for this type enhanced dining experience). Buffets are usually available throughout the day, besides room service, and the main dining room(s).
Learn More
Premium Cruise Lines
These cruise lines enhance what mainstream cruise lines typically offer, by providing their guests with higher quality service and cuisine, along with more spacious public spaces and accommodations.
Depending on the cruise line, the ships in this class range in size from small to very large.
These cruise lines appeal to a more discerning traveler, and are typically more expensive than mainstream cruise lines, but more affordable than the luxury lines.
Learn More
Deluxe Cruise Lines
These cruise lines fit (quality and, usually, price-wise) somewhere in between Premium and Luxury cruise lines.
A country club casual atmosphere can be expected on these lines, as can be elegant accommodations and gourmet cuisine. These cruise lines are a great option for adults looking for a upscale, yet laid back, vacation.
Unique itineraries are often available on these cruise lines, as their small-to-mid-sized ships can visit ports of call that large ones can't get to.
The pricing on Azamara Club Cruises includes select beverages and pre-paid gratuities, while the pricing of Viking Ocean Cruises includes shore excursions and select beverages.

River Cruise Lines
Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.
River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.
Because the destination is the star of a river cruise, (typically guided) shore excursions are included at no additional charge by many River cruise lines. There are usually many interesting lectures given during the cruise, by experts on the history and culture of the region being visited.
Among the famous rivers that one may take a river cruise on are the Rhine, Mississippi, Seine, Danube, Mekong, Nile, Yangtze, Amazon and Douro.

Specialty Cruise Lines
These cruise lines offer a truly unique vacation experience, with a wide range of possible amenities and itineraries. Some are expedition cruise lines, others have sailing yachts or are coastal ships.
On these types of cruise lines, there's usually a focus on a specific destination or theme. Itineraries are usually very destination intensive, aided by the fact that they're able to reach many ports of call that larger ships can't.
Expedition cruise lines are a great fit for adventure-seeking travelers, featuring exciting destinations like the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, and the Norwegian coast. During the cruise, there will usually be plenty of interesting lectures given by experts on the destination being visited. Often, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise. In fact, some of these cruise lines have all-inclusive pricing. There's a definite focus on the ship's surrounding scenery, as well as opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat. Small, but comfortable, ships are commonplace here, with anywhere from basic to very luxurious public spaces, cuisine, and accommodations (depending on the cruise line and ship).
Sailing Yachts, sail-assisted motor ships, offer a really unique vacation experience. Accommodations and cuisine on these intimate vessels can be anywhere from good to fantastic, depending on the cruise line. Destinations offered by these cruise lines may include the Caribbean, Europe, Panama Canal, Tahiti, and Costa Rica.
