Nassau Shore Excursion: City and Country Tour

Disembark from your cruise ship and find out what the city of Nassau is really about! This shore excursion is designed for those who want to learn about the history, culture and architecture of the Bahamas. You'll spend a few hours visiting famous landmarks such as the Queen's Staircase and Fort Charlotte and still have time to do some relaxing on the beach before boarding your ship again!

• The Queen's Staircase, also known as the 66 Steps, which lead up to Fort Fincastle, a tiny castle built in 1796 by Lord Dunmore
• Fort Charlotte, the largest fort in the Bahamas, built between 1787 and 1790 to guard the west entrance to Nassau Harbor
• Government House, the official residence of the Bahamas' governor-general, which was built in 1737 but then rebuilt in 1932 after being destroyed by a hurricane
• Picturesque Gregory Arch
• The Legislative Buildings and Law Courts in Parliament Square
• The Native Market where some 160 vendors sell everything from straw work to woodcarvings and other brightly decorated island handicrafts
