Plan the arrival before the attractions.

The Bahamas & Eastern Caribbean collection brings these destinations together inside Ahoy There. Its 12 genuine cruise ports span The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and 3 more countries or territories. Start with the call itself: the berth, tender, shuttle and distance into town decide how much of the destination is genuinely yours to enjoy.

01

Plan the arrival before the attractions.

Calls in this collection include arrival patterns described as Downtown berth at Prince George Wharf; Two distinct Grand Bahama cruise-arrival systems; Single-berth pier on North Bimini; Purpose-built south-island cruise centre separate from the historic capital. Those labels are not decoration. A central dock may open straight into a walking day; a remote terminal, gateway port or tender can consume time before the experience begins.

Open the individual preview before choosing transport or tickets. The guide explains the likely arrival context, then points back to current ship and port instructions because berth assignments, shuttle arrangements and sea conditions can change.

02

Choose a day that fits the call.

Compare places such as Nassau, Freeport / Grand Bahama, Bimini, Grand Turk without assuming that every famous sight belongs in one port day. A strong plan protects the all-aboard margin, matches the group's walking pace and leaves room for food, weather, queues and the simple pleasure of stopping somewhere unexpectedly lovely.

Use each substantial website preview to judge the shape of the day: what is close, what needs a transfer, what works for families and what may need advance booking. Then choose one leading experience and an easier fallback rather than building a frantic checklist.

03

Carry the useful detail ashore.

The public atlas is deliberately useful in its own right, with arrival answers, practical essentials, selected highlights, family advice, related ports and source links. The complete included or owned app guide adds the wider place catalogue, prepared plans and richer decision detail for use offline.

Prepare Ahoy There and any separate offline maps while the phone still has a reliable connection. Save the stops that belong to the sailing in My Trip, check the current ship instructions on the day, and take a calm plan ashore instead of depending on a signal at the terminal.

Inside the collection

Bahamas & Eastern Caribbean port previews

This page explains the destination collection without making a price claim. Current availability and purchase details appear inside the app.

The Bahamas · Downtown berth at Prince George Wharf

Nassau

Ships berth at Nassau Cruise Port beside the downtown waterfront. Passengers leave through the terminal complex for Bay Street, while beaches, Paradise Island and western New Providence need a ferry, taxi, bus or organised tour.

The Bahamas · Two distinct Grand Bahama cruise-arrival systems

Freeport / Grand Bahama

Traditional calls use Freeport Harbour within the working Lucayan Harbour complex, while some Carnival itineraries use the separate Celebration Key destination on southern Grand Bahama. The ship’s exact terminal name must be matched before choosing any route.

The Bahamas · Single-berth pier on North Bimini

Bimini

Ships berth at Resorts World Bimini Cruise Port on North Bimini. The resort complex begins near the pier, while Alice Town and community beaches lie farther south; South Bimini and offshore sites add ferry or boat connections.

Turks and Caicos Islands · Purpose-built south-island cruise centre separate from the historic capital

Grand Turk

Ships berth at Grand Turk Cruise Center on the south-west coast. Its pool and beaches begin at the pier, while Cockburn Town, the salinas and the lighthouse are separate taxi or tour journeys.

Dominican Republic · Two separate cruise terminals with different city access

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Amber Cove is a purpose-built cruise centre in Maimón west of Puerto Plata, while Taíno Bay occupies the city harbour. Advice for one terminal must never be applied to the other.

Dominican Republic · Working river-mouth cruise berth with separate city, resort and excursion localities

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Cruise passengers use the eastern passenger side of La Romana’s multipurpose port. La Romana city, gated Casa de Campo and Altos de Chavón, and the Bayahíbe island-excursion coast are distinct road journeys.

US Virgin Islands · Havensight, Crown Bay or harbour-tender arrival at Charlotte Amalie

Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas

Most ships use the WICO dock at Havensight east of central Charlotte Amalie or the Austin "Babe" Monsanto terminal at Crown Bay to the west. An anchored ship may tender into the harbour waterfront, so the terminal printed by the ship must be matched before choosing a walking, taxi or ferry plan.

US Virgin Islands · Frederiksted cruise pier with a separate Christiansted small-vessel profile

St Croix

Mainstream cruise ships use the Ann E. Abramson Marine Facility in Frederiksted on St Croix’s west coast, with outer-harbour anchorage possible for ships that cannot berth. Gallows Bay near Christiansted serves mini-cruise vessels and other small craft, so the itinerary locality must be confirmed before applying any distance.

British Virgin Islands · Road Town cruise pier or adjacent harbour-tender arrival

Road Town, Tortola

Most large cruise calls use the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park in Road Town. Ships at anchor use the adjacent tender pier, while the separate Road Town Jetty primarily serves local ferries; save the ship-specific return point before leaving the harbour.

Sint Maarten · Point Blanche cruise piers with a separate conditional tender landing in central Philipsburg

Philipsburg, St Maarten

Most cruise calls berth at the A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility in Point Blanche, outside the centre. If ship information explicitly says tender, boats normally use the central Philipsburg waterfront instead; confirm the named landing before making a return plan.

Saint Kitts and Nevis · Central Port Zante cruise piers with a conditional marina tender landing

Basseterre, St Kitts

Cruise ships normally use the Port Zante berths beside Basseterre. Anchorage and tendering may instead be assigned through port control, with ship boats landing at the Port Zante Marina; rely on the ship notice for the day.

Antigua and Barbuda · Central St John’s harbour berths across Heritage Quay, Nevis Street and the newer cruise pier, with tendering available when assigned

St John’s, Antigua

St John’s Cruise Port operates multiple central berths: ships may use Heritage Quay Pier, Nevis Street Pier or the newer outer berth. All serve the capital waterfront but have different gates and walking distances. Tendering is possible only when assigned; check the ship notice.
