LUXURY CRUISES

BAHAMAS LUXURY CRUISES

Think of long white sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and crystal, clear waters and you will probably be imagining the Bahamas. A classic cruise destination, this chain of 700 islands is commonly considered paradise on earth. Bursting with sub-tropical charm, a relaxed way of living and natural beauty a go-go, enjoy an all-inclusive Bahamas luxury cruise and discover the hidden hideaways of Bimini, Nassau, Conception Island, Exuma Island and Harbour Island. The locals say “it’s better in the Bahamas!” … one all-inclusive cruise with Silversea and you’ll find out why.

Destination Highlights

Nassau (Paradise Island)

Paradise by name and paradise by nature! Nassau's sheltered harbour bustles with activity, while a block away Bay Street's pavements are crowded with shoppers who duck into air-conditioned boutiques and relax on benches in the shade of mahogany and lignum vitae trees. Head off the main drag and you’ll find a handful of shops overflowing with authentic Bahamian crafts, food supplies, and other delights. With the revitalisation of downtown still ongoing, Nassau is recapturing some of its past glamour.

Harbour Island

Harbour Island is a small slip of island, extending three miles from north to south and less than half a mile wide. Fast becoming the thinking persons’ Bahamian Island, Harbour Island’s miles and miles of pink sand is Instagram gold. But, social-media posts aside, the charming pastel-coloured homes with white picket fences and bougainvillea-draped doorways, friendly locals waving hello, and delicious fresh seafood coupled with the lack of tourists – Harbour Island is exceedingly difficult to get to – make this Bahamian retreat the real Paradise Island.

Discover more

Conception Island

Conception Island is an uninhabited island in the Bahamas, and a protected Bahamas National Land and Sea Park. Approximately just 3 square miles island is pristine, with idyllic powder white beaches and crystal-clear water. Conception Island is an important nesting location for seabirds and a hatching site for green sea turtles. Snorkellers and divers will see a wide array of tropical fish, among them Queen Anglefish, Nassau Groupers, Rainbow Parrotfish and Blue Tangs. Lucky visitors may get to see wild dolphins that frequent the area at times.

Discover more

Bimini

Located just 50 miles off Florida’s coast, Bimini is the closest Bahamian island to the United States, and as such is the most “American” of all the Bahamian Islands, but the laid-back feel makes it feel blessedly further away. The inspiration for Hemmingway’s Islands in the Stream and The Old Man and the Sea, the lovely little dual islands—North Bimini and South Bimini— count countless cays among their (many) treasures. Boating, beaching, fishing and snorkelling provide the main attractions for visitors, while dolphin cruises make for a great day on the water.

Discover more

Exuma Island

Stretching over 200 miles southeast of Nassau, the Exuma archipelago consists of 365 cays and islands. Next to Great Exuma and Little Exuma, Moriah Harbour Cay National Park protects a wide array of habitats, including mangrove creeks, beautiful beaches, sand dunes, and sea grass beds. If gin-clear waters, kaleidoscopic marine life and a mile-long sandbar are not enough to temp you, then perhaps the swimming pigs - Exuma Island’s most famous non-human residents - will.

What to do in Paradise?

DO MORE ON SHORE

The Bahamas sparkle both on a cruise and on shore. Certainly the shimmering beaches and oh-so-clear seas seduce more than a few travellers who visit The Bahamas. Yet, scratch the surface of these lovely islands and you’ll find that 700 or so islands are far more than just fun in the sun. Cruise down streets riddled with colonial history, take a deep dive – literally – to discover an underwater world teeming with colour or get wet’n’ wild at Atlantis Water Park on the north fringes of Nassau. Silversea Luxury Cruises offers guests a wide range of choice so that they can discover for themselves the authentic beauty of The Bahamas. From hands-on preparation of some sumptuous Bahamian dishes to exploring the delicate ecosystems of the famous Bimini Mangroves, to simply relaxing on the pink sands of Harbour Island, after 25 years in the business Silversea really does know how to do more on shore!

Why Silversea?

Intimate Ships

Just four ships in Silversea’s luxury fleet visit the Bahamas, proving that smaller really does get you closer. These range from our smallest ocean-liner, Silver Wind, with just 294 guests to the all-new hybrid ship Silver Cloud. And even if that means a tender to shore, the low draught of our ships means that you are just a stone’s throw away from the twinkling lights of Bimini harbour, or the deserted beaches of Conception Island! So more time can be spent channelling your inner Jack Sparrow ashore, rather than being stuck on a bus getting into town.

Luxury Oceanview Suites

Nothing says a Bahamas Cruise better than the sun on warming your shoulders to the sounds of the gentle lapping of the wave. With Silversea Luxury Cruises, every suite offers clear ocean views while almost all have a private veranda. So feeling the Bahamian breeze with a cool glass of champagne from the privacy of your veranda has never been easier. Wake up to breakfast on the balcony, and a view to write home about! Thanks to Silversea Luxury Cruises, The Bahamas just got a whole lot better.

Personalised Service

This remains the jewel in Silversea’s crown, and the reason we are still afloat after 25 years in cruising. From sunrise to sunset, our crew is hands down the best in the business. Our dedication to guest satisfaction means: a personal butler around the clock, a guest-to-crew ration of almost 1:1, attention to detail such as your favourite drink ready upon return to the ship, reservations made at your request … your wish is on demand! This is personal service at its best.

All-Inclusive Cruises

From the moment you step onboard, whether its from Fort Lauderdale , San Juan or even Quebec, you’ll be secure in the knowledge that all your needs have already been taken care of. This means you can enjoy your favourite rum punch at your leisure, get your bartender to make the fabled Sky Juice - a local speciality or enjoy a wide range of restaurants, full in-suite beverages and of course, no salient gratuities at the end of your stay. Leave your wallets at home, and make room for your memories!

Gourmet Cuisine

As you cruise into The Bahamas, we bet you are already imagining the taste of fresh conch salad, Bimini bread (made with coconut and honey) and grilled rock lobster washed down by a long, cool yellow bird! At Silversea we believe that an immersive gourmet experience is the summary of any journey and no cruise to The Bahamas is complete without sampling some of the local specialities. So get ready to enjoy destination-focused dishes on board served amid the gentle ocean breeze as you travel to your next destination.

Exuma Island

DID YOU KNOW?

If gin-clear waters, kaleidoscopic marine life and a mile-long sandbar are not enough to temp you, then perhaps Exuma Island’s most famous non-human residents will. Big Major Cay’s swimming pigs at Pig Beach are far more than a tourist attraction. There are many stories regarding how the non-native species arrived on the island but rumour has it that Hollywood stars on neighbouring islands may have released them. Now they are as much part of the island’s identity as palm trees and blue skies!
