Bahamas Cruises

The Bahamas are one of the most beautiful island chains in the world. They consist of 29 islands and an incredible 661 cays, meaning that there's always going to be somewhere in the Bahamas that you can head to if you want a little alone time, to stroll around the beautiful beaches. That is of course if you can be convinced to leave your ship

The ships that are chartered around the Bahamas are often towards the top of their class because the Bahamas are such an exclusive destination in the world, and so they are usually matched by luxurious ships with five-star cuisine. But you absolutely have to check out the islands if you really want to ensure that your trip is one that really takes in all that the Bahamas have to offer. And if you do this then you will really be doing the locals a big favour a huge portion of local income comes from the tourism industry, especially from people who stop by on cruise ships.

Take a look at a picture of Nassau harbour and you'll be able to see just how many cruise ships stop regularly at the harbour. You could take this be to be a good or a bad thing. It's a good thing because it indicates exactly what a great location the Bahamas are. They are after all going to the Bahamas for a very good reason because of its beautiful landscape.

With more than half of the revenue for the Bahamas coming from tourism and more than half of all jobs being tourism related ones, it's clear just how many people are visiting the Bahamas each year in order to take a cruise. However, there is also the thing to consider that says that this indicates that the Bahamas are an overexposed locations. After all, it's a small place and when a few huge cruise ships pull in, the tourists would likely out number the locals and ruin your chance of really getting to know the place. However, the Bahamas have adapted over a number of decades to tourism and you should really expect that an authenticity that you could find will either have been preserved or will have been lost long before the first cruise ships touched down. While on the Bahamas it's lucky if you can catch a regatta. These sailing events will provide a nice complement to your cruise if you're there at the right time.
