Virgin Voyages' guide to Nassau
Nassau
Bahamian Rhapsody
With miles of white-sand beaches surrounded by turquoise waters, Nassau is a few hundred miles from the southern coast of Florida and the perfect setting for glamorous relaxation, nature appreciation, and Hollywood productions. A gorgeous backdrop for many iconic movies, the capital of the 700 Bahamian islands has been the stage for a myriad of epic true stories, too. Over the centuries, the island has housed everyone from runaway lovers to famous pirates, rum smugglers, and blockade runners.

Snorkel in Sea Turtle Territory
Embark on a scenic speedboat ride across Nassau's harbor and take in the ocean’s shimmering shades of blue from above before going in for a dip in the pristine waters of the warm Caribbean sea. Set out to explore with snorkeling gear, swim among wild sea turtles and tropical fish, find vibrant corals below, and discover the colorful sea creatures living in it.

Island Jeep Aventure
Hop in a Jeep and drive through Nassau’s lively shopping district on Bay Street, past the Instagram-perfect Cable Beach, the JFK Memorial, and onto the New Providence Caves. Legend has it that these indigenous caves also housed pirate treasure in the 16th-17th centuries. The views are incredible, so make sure to have your camera ready and take plenty of selfies. Then, you’ll enjoy a bountiful meal at the Bahamian Grill and head back to the pier with lots of stories (and pics) to share.

Swimming Pigs in Paradise
Travel to Rose Island, a hidden beach where music, games, and swimming pigs will entertain you all day long. Bask in the sun, enjoy the seaside flotations, and play fun beach games to score fabulous prizes. Whether you amp up the energy or chill out by the waves, loungers and umbrellas are available to take in the view and sit in the shade. The island offers a full bar and a grill with cocktails and food made to order, including vegetarian and vegan options.
