Bahamas Party Cruise

One of the most popular ways to spend your time during Springbreak is the Bahamas Party Cruise. This tour package was created by Springbreaktravel.com in the 90s. They book just about all the available space on board, so it is really a SpringBreak party experience with hundreds of other students.

The cruise begins with a morning departure from the Port Everglades, in Ft. Lauderdale. The cruiseship is just like the ship you have seenon MTV Spring Break. It's called the Discovery! The trip from the U.S. to Freeport, on Grand Bahama Island takes 6-7 hours While on board, you can party poolside, gamble in the casino, or hang out in one of the many bars. It is one huge party with hundreds of other college students on their way to the beach!

The ship also has a number of restaurants. Most of the tour packages include 4 nights / 5 days in a hotel of your choice and transportation from the ship to your hotel. Meals and other activities vary depending on the tour operator you choose. Because the space available on the Discovery is limited, the longer you wait, the more money it will cost. The most popular hotels at the most popular destinations on the island sell out first...then, the availability begins to dwindle. So, prices go up and people pay more..

After 5 days of fun and sun in the Bahamas you cruise back to Fl. Lauderdale on the cruise arriving sometime between 9-11pm. Most tour packages include the roundtrip cruise, roundtrip taxi transfers, hotel in the Bahamas for 5 days. Meals, parties, drinks, cover charges and taxes may vary depending on the tour operator, so be sure to check on the specifics.
