3 Day Cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas

Escape to the sultry tropics and sparkling blue seas of the Bahamas and Key West on one of our three-day cruises from Fort Lauderdale.

Snorkel over rainbow-colored corals, stroll along white-sand beaches, shop in bustling markets, and sample island cuisine.

In beguiling Bimini, crystal-clear waters and colorful reefs await. Visit the unique Dolphin House, built by a local historian from shells, sea glass, and other upcycled materials as a tribute to the marine mammals that inhabit the waters around the island.
