Nassau Bahamas

For a city now known for its warming sun and balmy breezes, Nassau has a tumultuous past. First settled by the English, the area was contested by England, France and Spain. For many years, Nassau was a home base for notorious pirates, and it was burned to the ground by the Spanish three different times.

Nassau Bahamas

Since 1740, visitors from all over the world in search of both relaxation and adventure have made Nassau their favorite destination.

Take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with a dolphin.

Have your picture taken while kissing these loving creatures, learn about their anatomy, and pet and feed them while standing in waist-deep water. All at the wonderful facility that is home to Universal Studios' Flipper, who starred in the 1996 movie with the same name.

Take a break and relax on your own semi-private island. Located just a short boat ride away from Nassau, Blackbeard's Cay is surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water, sandy beaches and swaying palm trees.

Or better yet, check out the Stingray Adventure. This amazing experience could easily be the highlight of your trip.

Relive the swashbuckling past on an exciting pirates and dungeons tour of Fort Charlotte and the Pirates of Nassau Museum. (Eye patches and peg legs not included.)

Go on a glass-bottom-boat tour for a glimpse into the underwater world of the Bahamas. Snorkel with the stingrays at Blue Lagoon Island.

Visit Predator Lagoon where you'll see sharks, barracuda and many other creatures from the deep.

Dance the calypso and sip a refreshing rum punch while sailing aboard the 85-foot Yellowbird.

Marvel at the flora and watch the famous "marching" flamingoes at Ardastra Gardens and Conservation Center. For an exciting adventure, hop on the powerboat Thriller, Nassau's fastest ride.

Enjoy Nassau Harbor, Paradise Island and many other amazing spots.

Coco Cay

Surrounded by the gentle, translucent waters of the Bahamas chain lies the secluded island of Coco Cay. With its white-sand beaches and spectacular surroundings, CocoCay is a wonderland of adventure.

Reserved exclusively for Royal Caribbean guests, this tropical paradise has recently been updated with new aquatic facilities, nature trails and a ton of great places to just sit back, relax and enjoy a tropical drink.

The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss
While you're on CocoCay, don't miss the opportunity to take an exhilarating ride in the skies on a parasailing adventure. Soar 400 feet above the island and take in the spectacular scenery.

You'll get a bird's-eye view of CocoCay as well as the surrounding islands. It's definitely a flight worth taking. Other Fun Things to Do Take an adventure down the coast of CocoCay, aboard a waverunner, our most popular activity.

Fly past Great Stirrup Cay Lighthouse, Slaughter Harbor and Starfish Alley. Enjoy Caylanas Aqua Park, a fun-filled floating playground. Spend the day relaxing in a hammock on the beach and enjoy our island-style seaside barbecue.

Sporting Adventures
While you're on the island, give snorkeling a try and check out the beautiful coral reefs, colorful tropical fish and sunken wrecks.
