Averaged from the last five years of December readings — a guide to what to expect, not a forecast for a particular sailing.
Nassau is the capital and most-visited cruise port of the Bahamas, a mix of British colonial architecture and Caribbean street life. Cable Beach and the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island are both minutes from the pier. Downtown has the straw market, conch fritters, and rows of pastel colonial buildings.
Nassau in December offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 78°F and comfortable lows near 67°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 5 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Dry and pleasant, peak cruise season
This is one of the most popular months to visit Nassau, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
