Things to Do on a Bahamas Cruise with MSC Cruises

Imagine a natural reserve, teeming with beautiful exotic fish. Or a century old rum distillery serving rum made from the rarest guava berries. If that doesn't get you excited to cruise the Bahamas on MSC Cruises, then the history of islands like Puerto Rico and St. Maarten will pique your interest. Now imagine doing this all while staying aboard one of the most beautiful cruise ships in the industry. When visiting the Bahamas on MSC, history, relaxation, and an unforgettable vacation is just a cruise away. With all the wonderful activities this region has to offer, here are just a few of our favorites:

• Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve (Bahamas)
  MSC Cruises recently announced the upcoming opening of their private island and marine reserve, Ocean Cay. In conjunction with Bahamian authorities, MSC Cruises organized and revitalized this former industrial site to turn it into an ecological paradise for local wildlife and a vacation paradise for MSC Cruises passengers.
   

• Paseo de la Princesa (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
  Strut down the main promenade in San Juan and take some time to admire the architecture. A main attraction on this busy strip of buildings is La Princesa, built as a prison nearly 200 years ago, and now home to government offices and a gallery showcasing the artwork of Puerto Rico natives.
   

• Sugar Cane Bay and Callwood Rum Distillery (Road Town, Virgin Islands)
  Named for the sugar cane plantation that is located behind it, the perfect, white sand beaches here make it a sweet spot to catch some rays. Located a short walk away is the Callwood Rum Distillery, which incorporates portions of the old plantation and offers rum tastings all day.
   

• Butterfly Farm (Philipsburg, St. Maarten)
  At St. Maarten, you can visit one of the largest butterfly reserves in the world. With over 100 species of butterflies hailing from all corners of the earth, this is a unique experience. Relax and watch the sun catch the kaleidoscope of colors on the wings of the butterflies as they gently land all over you.
   

• Junkanoo Museum (Nassau, Bahamas)
  Dedicated to the Junkanoo Carnival, here you can learn all about Bahamian performing arts and culture. Growing in popularity, the Junkanoo Carnival is a festival celebrating the vibrancy of the Bahamas. Occurring every year in early May, be sure to travel then to experience this in person!
   

• La Fortaleza (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
  La Fortaleza, the residence for the Governor of Puerto Rico, was built in the 16th century as the first fortress to protect the city of San Juan. Notably, former President of the United States John F. Kennedy was a guest here in 1961. When not in use, tour the corridors to get a grasp on the rich history of Puerto Rico.
