The Bahamas, your way.

Walk downtown Nassau's history up to Fort Fincastle, then eat fresh conch under the Paradise Island bridge.

Emancipation history, Nassau's pirate years and Bahamian art, with a family-run lunch in between.

Head west from downtown for a beach, a fort, the marching flamingos and dinner at the Fish Fry.

Five sights within a 15-minute walk of the ship, with an hour kept free before all aboard.

Swim at the beach closest to the ship, then lunch at the Fish Fry, ten minutes away by car.

Short walks for small legs: the pink Parliament, a pirate museum and the beach before all aboard.

Days on the water: the Exuma Cays by boat, a beach bar on Stocking Island and seafood on Little Exuma.

Climb to the stone hermitage on the country's highest point, then slow down by the water.

Blue holes and pine forest on North Andros, then beachfront cabins at an eco-lodge in Central Andros.
