Freeport Cruise Port

Arriving in Freeport

The harbour is a separate stop from Lucaya and Grand Bahama International Airport. If you are heading to a hotel, the beach or a flight, arrange a transfer and tell the driver you are arriving on the Baleària ferry at Terminal 2.

Taking the ferry back to Fort Lauderdale

Use Terminal 2 and follow the arrival and check-in instructions on your booking. Baleària says the doors close one hour before departure. Confirm the opening time for your sailing with the operator.

Onward travel from Freeport to Nassau

Nassau is on a different island. For most travellers the practical onward route is a flight from Freeport (FPO) to Nassau (NAS). See our Freeport to Nassau guide for limited mailboat options and flight connections.

For all crossings, see the Bahamas ferry schedules. If you are starting in Florida, use the Fort Lauderdale ferry terminal guide for check-in and parking.
