Nassau Cruise Port Sets New One Day Record of 28,554 Passengers
[Nassau, Bahamas, February 27, 2023] – Nassau Cruise Port (NCP) welcomed 28,554 passengers today – a new record for the expanded cruise port, with six ships alongside simultaneously. The “new” Nassau Cruise Port, centering around a unique, Authentically Bahamian experience, will celebrate its grand opening at the end of May 2023 with a weekend of private events featuring local and international entertainment.
“We are extremely pleased to report another record-setting passenger day here at Nassau Cruise Port. The expanded berths are certainly delivering on the sizeable investment that we have made in them, creating the additional capacity required to achieve this extraordinary record today. Incredibly, this figure does not include the crew count, which adds an additional 10,302 people to our total visitor count. That’s thousands of visitors exploring downtown Nassau and learning about our island and culture through our restaurants, shore excursions, taxi rides, and tours, while making wonderful memories of their time in The Bahamas.”
The six ships in port today were Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of The Seas and Harmony of the Seas, Carnival Mardi Gras, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Beyond and MSC Meraviglia.
