Fort Fincastle
Fort Fincastle is one of Nassau’s historic forts, near Queen’s Staircase on Bennet’s Hill. Confirm access before making the fort interior part of your port-day route.
Access needs confirmation. Google Maps reported “Temporarily closed” when checked on October 24, 2026. Do not assume the fort interior is open.
Getting there from the cruise port
Start at the Nassau Cruise Port street exit. Check the walking route and allow extra time for heat, crossings and your group’s pace.
Use the street exit of Nassau Cruise Port as your starting point. Allow separately for walking from your ship, security and reboarding. Plan your return time →
