Nassau Cruise Port (NCP) welcomed 33,254 cruise passengers on June 8, 2026, setting a new single-day passenger record.

The passengers came from six ships: the Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, Caribbean Princess and Disney Fantasy.

The milestone surpasses the 33,000-passenger benchmark and represents a major moment, the port said in a press release.

It exceeds the previous 30,538-passenger record achieved on March 11, 2025, by approximately 8.9%.

“This is a proud and meaningful achievement for Nassau Cruise Port and for The Bahamas. The 33,000-passenger mark was an important benchmark for us, and reaching 33,254 guests in a single day reflects the strength of Nassau as a cruise destination, the confidence of our cruise line partners, and the dedication of the teams and stakeholders who support the visitor experience here,” said Mike Maura, Jr., CEO & director of Nassau Cruise Port.

“This milestone is not only about volume. It represents economic opportunity across the destination. High-performing cruise days support retailers, restaurants, tour operators, transportation providers, attractions, artisans, entertainers, and a wide range of other Bahamian businesses that benefit from cruise passenger activity.”

Maura added that the port shares this accomplishment with the tour operators, artisans, retailers, transportation providers, entertainers, downtown businesses and tourism partners who work to welcome guests to The Bahamas.

The port noted that the achievement reflects the continued growth of cruise tourism in Nassau and its ongoing investment in port capacity and operational efficiency, among other things.
