“We are thrilled to receive the award of leading luxury destination yet again from the World Travel Awards (WTA). It’s a great tribute to The Bahamas and it speaks volumes of the high quality of experiences we continue to create for visitors. It is our hope that more people can discover the beauty of The Islands Of The Bahamas and enjoy some of the same or create new experiences that impressed WTA,” D’Aguilar remarked.

The Grand Celebration cruise vessel has renewed its agreement to sail to Grand Bahama, with scheduled trips from West Palm Beach resuming December 24. The introduction of a second vessel, the SS Grand Classica is scheduled to begin cruises to the island in April, 2018.
