Day 2 ** Sep 11 | Nassau – Crystal Serenity Cruise
Upon our arrival at the Nassau International Airport, we will transfer to Port Nassau to embark on the Crystal Serenity Cruise.  Crystal Serenity is one of two magnificent ships that has earned Crystal Cruises the distinction of being The World’s Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line.  There are 12 new suites and 28 new penthouses.  Crystal Serenity will feature more innovative dining options with expanded specialty venues and open-seating, more state-of-the-art technologies including free, unlimited Wi-Fi.  Enjoy our luxury experience on board.

Day 3 ** Sep 12 | Bimini, Bahamas
This morning, we will arrive in Bimini, Bahamas.  Ships embark at 6:00 PM.
Adjectives defy description of Bimini’s waters – crystalline and turquoise, they are simply breathtaking.  They are also teeming with prized blue marlin, tuna, amberjack and more.  Here, where palm trees sway on pristine beaches, is where Papa Hemingway escaped to fish and write.

Day 4 ** Sep 13 | Spanish Wells, Bahamas
This morning, we will arrive in Spanish Wells, Bahamas.  Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM.
Just off the northern tip of Eleuthera – a Bahamian Out Island revered for its pink-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters – lies the little-known gem of Spanish Wells on St. George’s Cay. Graced with soft-white powdery sands, shallow crystalline waters and brilliant reefs ideal for snorkeling, tiny Spanish Wells is the lobster capital of The Bahamas and all manner of fishing is enjoyed in the pristine waters here. Like its glitzy Harbour Island neighbor, it is easily explored by golf cart.

Day 5 ** Sep 14 | Great Exuma, Bahamas
This morning, we will arrive in Great Exuma, Bahamas.  Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM.
Renowned for their sapphire-blue waters – so stunning they can be seen from outer space – the 300+ isles of the Exumas are home to blissfully secluded beaches, deserted reef-fringed cays (shoal or sandbar) and world-famous swimming pigs.  Great Exuma is the largest of these islands, and the Tropic of Cancer runs directly through its capital of George Town.  Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth, this yachting haven is ideal for snorkeling, diving and relaxing on pristine sands.

Day 6 ** Sep 15 | San Salvador Island, Bahamas
This morning, we will arrive in San Salvador Island, Bahamas.  Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM.
The small, emerald-green island of San Salvador, situated in the far eastern Bahamas, is home to pristine beaches and colorful coral reefs that are ideal for swimming, snorkeling and diving.  Though subject to debate, San Salvador may also be the first place where Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World in 1492.  On San Salvador’s west coast is the island’s capital and largest settlement, Cockburn Town, boasting a museum, restaurants, bars and its signature landmark, a giant almond tree.

Day 7 ** Sep 16 | Long Island, Bahamas
This morning, we will arrive in Long Island, Bahamas.  Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM.
On the easternmost ridge of the Great Bahama Bank, straddling the Tropic of Cancer, this slender island of white-sand beaches, technicolor waters and lush greenery is home to brilliant coral reefs, pristine flats and the famed Dean’s Blue Hole, the world’s second deepest.  Just four miles at its widest, hilly vantage points allow for spectacular views of breathtaking cliffs.  Dotted with white churches and monuments, Long Island is known for its bonefishing, swimming pigs and world-class diving.

Day 8 ** Sep 17 | Cruiseing the Coast of Bahamas
Today is a Sea Day.  We will be cruising the Coast of Bahamas.  Enjoy the activities on board.

Day 9 ** Sep 18 | Nassau, Bahamas
This morning, we will disembark from Port Nassau.  With miles of powdery white sand, sunshine 300 days a year, and turquoise waters averaging 80 degrees, the capital of The Bahamas is home to 17 spectacular beaches.  Rich in pirate lore and vestiges of its British heritage, Nassau today is a hub of culture and a thriving nightlife.  Discover a perfect mix of nature, history and modern-day indulgences, from colorful reefs to dazzling casinos, straw markets to lavish resorts, and ancient forts to the world’s third-largest wine cellar at Graycliff.  We can enjoy the city and overnight in Nassau.

Day 10 ** Sep 19 | Nassau – Miami – Los Angeles – Honolulu
