Ships dock at Prince George Wharf on Bay Street, downtown Nassau's only cruise terminal, which can berth several ships at once depending on their size.

Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is about 10 miles from the wharf, roughly a 20-30 minute drive.

Where cruise ships dock in Nassau

Every ship uses Prince George Wharf, the downtown cruise port at the foot of Bay Street. Since its redevelopment the port has six berths and can take up to six ships a day, including three of the Oasis or Icon class, the largest cruise ships afloat.

The rebuilt terminal is more than a gangway: it has a Junkanoo museum devoted to the Bahamas' best-known festival, over 60 shops selling local crafts and luxury goods, restaurants and an amphitheatre, all inside the port gates.

Getting around from the Nassau cruise port

Downtown starts at the port exit. Bay Street's shops, Parliament Square and the historic government buildings are all within walking distance, so most passengers who aren't on an excursion simply walk off the ship.

Junkanoo Beach, the closest beach, is a short walk west along the waterfront. For anything farther, such as Paradise Island or Cable Beach, official metered taxis wait right outside the terminal.

Which cruise lines call at Nassau

Nassau is the anchor stop on short Bahamas cruises from Florida, so the lines that run those sailings call here most often, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Disney, MSC and Virgin Voyages. With six berths, several of these ships are often in port on the same day, which is when Bay Street and the straw market are busiest.

The port does not publish a public day-by-day berth schedule we can source, so this page doesn't show one. Your cruise line's itinerary gives your exact arrival and all-aboard times.
