Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line offering cruise-and-stay packages in Nassau

Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line now offers passengers traveling to Nassau, Bahamas, an option to extend their cruise with a resort stay at one of three properties for up to six nights.

Resort partners in Nassau are the Melia Nassau Beach All-Inclusive Resort, the SLS Baha Mar and Comfort Suites Paradise Island.

Earlier this month, the cruise line introduced Nassau as its second cruise destination. The Nassau cruises are operated on the Grand Classica, which sails from Palm Beach, Fla. The line also calls in Grand Bahama on its ship the Grand Celebration.

"We appreciate our valued travel advisor partners for helping make the Cruise & Stay program a success on Grand Bahama over the years," said Francis Riley, the line's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "The same program now to Nassau creates an additional way for them to drive bookings and increase overall revenue.

"With this program and with the support of our travel advisor partners, we will be a major driver of economic support for Nassau, bringing tourists each year to Nassau-based hotels and benefitting the Hurricane Dorian recovery effort," he said.

Commissionable prices for a four-night cruise-and-stay in Nassau start at $389 per person.
