Nassau is perhaps the busiest port in the Caribbean, thanks to its proximity to many cruise ship ports located on Florida’s east coast. Up to 7 cruise ships can dock at a time at Nassau’s Prince George Wharf, here on either a short jaunt from Florida or as part of week-long cruises to the Eastern or Western Caribbean. The Nassau port is conveniently located only a few steps from downtown Nassau. As you leave your ship, you must walk through the cruise terminal before exiting out into the streets of Nassau. Before and after the terminal building, there are several people offering tours of the island. Inside, you will find counters for tours and information as well as many vendor booths. Outside the terminal, you can rent scooters or take a horse and carriage ride. There are rows of taxis with fixed rates to destinations around the island.
A short taxi ride over the bridge, or a brief ride by water taxi, brings you to the internationally famous Paradise Island and The Atlantis, a huge 1200-room hotel, casino, restaurant and shopping complex. The opulence is hard to take-in after leaving Bay Street in Nassau.
