Duty Free Ferry Cruise Ports | Lucaya Harbour

Bahamas

Lucaya Harbour

This international port primarily handles cruise ships. Most, if not all cruise ships, sail in international territorial waters, so you will be able to buy duty free and tax-free goods onboard during your journey.

Some cruise lines only allow you to consume your duty free alcohol after you have finished your cruise. Check with your cruise specialist before you sail, for more details.


Cruise Shipping Lines operating from these major ports include: Cunard, Royal Caribbean, Seaborn, Costa, P&O, Carnival, Celebrity, Windstar, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Star, Thomson, Tallink and Silja Line. The duty free allowances on cruise ships will depend on where you are travelling to and from and how often you leave and re-join the ship with the goods you have purchased on shore. Your customs allowance limits will apply at the point that you finally leave the ship and return home. So search your final destination above, click a travel point and then the red customs button for your exemptions. Your cruise specialist will be able to assist you with reservations and other details.


Visitors to The Bahamas enjoy extensive tax-free and duty free shopping facilities, both in the port areas and also downtown. There are reduced import duties on many gift products such as watches, china, crystal, jewellery and other luxuries. The authenticity of products is regularly checked by the Government, so to maintain high retail standards. Liquor products have competitive prices, but if you are departing by cruise your ship may hold the spirits until your final disembarkation. Some stores offer a “mail home” service for goods you do not wish to carry.
