If you've never been to colorful Nassau before, you're in for a charming treat. This tour will take you along Bay Street, the heart of Nassau's shopping district, to the Queens Staircase. Built in the days of England's Queen Victoria, the stair case consists of over 65 steps hewn out of solid coral rock. Climb the stairs to the Water Tower where, for a small fee, you can take the elevator to the observation point, 216 feet above sea level for a panoramic view of Nassau. Fort Fincastle is your next stop. Built in 1793, the structure was designed in the shape of a paddle wheel steamer. Next, visit Fort Charlotte. Built in the Napoleonic era to defend the island against marauding pirates, Fort Charlotte offers you a historic peek into the past as you journey through a maze of corridors connecting its network of underground dungeons. Before returning to the ship, there will be a brief photo stop at the famous Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for anyone who has dreamed of an encounter with a dolphin. This wonderful facility is home to Universal Studios' Flipper, who starred in the 1996 movie of the same name. You'll board a powered catamaran for a short ride to Blue Lagoon Island, where the Dolphin Encounter is located. Once ashore, a guide will introduce you to the fascinating world of the dolphin, including information on its life, anatomy, echolocation and the environment in which it lives. Afterward, you will be led to a floating platform, where your encounter will take place. Have your picture taken while kissing a dolphin (photos can be purchased separately), learn about the anatomy of a real dolphin and pet and feed a dolphin while standing in waist-deep water. Finally, you'll have 30 minutes of free time to relax, browse through the souvenir shop or check out the photos of you and the dolphin. Your catamaran will then return you to the pier.
