Named Baja Mar (“Below the Sea”) by Christopher Columbus for its shallow seas, The Bahamas offer the clearest marine environment in the world, boasting visibility to 200 feet. 70 to 85 degree year-round temperatures and 700 islands offer every activity we associate with Caribbean paradise from sublime snorkeling to beachcombing snow-white sands.

Bahamian delicacies include the world famous conch, eaten raw with limejuice, rock lobster and fish stew. Cruises dock in Nassau where Junkanoo, The Bahamian Carnival, occurs between Christmas and New Years with music, dancing and pageantry.
