Cruise from New York to the Bahamas
Vacation in the Bahamas by ocean liner and leave from New York. No need to fly to South
Florida to connect to the cruise ship, sail directly from New York. Take your time sunning
on the open sea during the daytime and dining in luxury at night. Mixing nightlife between
disco dancing and casino life is the ideal diversion to the winter blahs. Be sure to check
out the opportunities offered when your originating port of call is New
York! The ports of call on your way sailing to the Bahamas include Orlando, Florida, Port
Canaveral, Miami, Florida, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau, Bahamas.
The Islands of the Bahamas
The Islands of the Bahamas stretch out 100,000 square miles and cover more than 500 miles
of the clearest water in the world. There are more than 700 islands which include
uninhabited cays and large rocks and a population of approximately 300,000. The Bahamian
people are known for their humble pride, being true of heart and relaxed nature. Duty-free
shopping in diverse market places for beautiful handcrafted art and clothing is one of the
favorite pass times of visitors to the islands. The Bahamian culture is rich in diverse
customs and shows the love of celebration and community. Nassau is the capital of
The Bahamas and is located on Providence Island which neighbors Paradise Island. The trend
of entertainment here ranges from international glamour to tropical ease.
Orlando, Canaveral and Miami Port of Calls
Cruising south off the Gold Coast of Florida, on your way to the Bahamas, on a floating
resort ocean liner is the ultimate get-away vacation. The warm sea air, sprays of salt
water and visitor attractions offered at the port of calls are unmatched in anyone's
plans. The art deco of Miami architecture and glitz of night life, are world renown.
Orlando is the world mecca for theme parks - and the further south you sail, the warmer
and more tropical the fauna.
