NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The Nassau Cruise Port has surpassed its all-time annual passenger record with a little less than one month to go before year's end. 

The port set its previous record of 3,859,183 passengers in 2019. As of the end of November, the port team had welcomed 3,869,003 passengers for the year.

Nassau Cruise Port CEO, Mike Maura Jr, called the new record a "monumental milestone" as the team works toward achieving its 2023 total passenger target of 4.2 million passengers.  

The recently upgraded $300 million waterfront features over 60 retail stores, including new food & beverage outlets, The Bahamas Museum of Junkanoo, a wine bar & art gallery, and a 3,000-person amphitheater that currently features top Bahamian and international entertainment. 

Other notable changes include the addition of an iconic new arrivals terminal, new outposts for the Royal Bahamas Police Force and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, a new Ground Transportation Area to support smooth taxi and tour operations, a hair braiders pavilion, and a signature event space overlooking the harbor.
