Residents of Vancouver, Canada can look forward to an easier way to reach the
Bahamas this coming winter with the introduction of a weekly service to
Freeport, Grand Bahama that launches November 01, 2014. Departing
initially on Saturdays, the flight becomes a direct, non-stop service
departing Fridays from December 19, 2014.
Passengers can start off their
vacation in style by taking advantage of Sunwing Airlines'
award-winning Champagne Service that includes a welcome glass of
champagne, complimentary food and wine along with in-flight
entertainment offered at no charge. All packages also include a generous
20kg free baggage allowance.
With the introduction of the
Vancouver service, the airline will offer eight Canadian gateways into
the island; a development which has been welcomed by the Grand Bahama
Island Tourism Board who believes this enhanced flight schedule has
largely been responsible for a revitalization of the island's tourism
sector.
Lying just 55 miles off the coast of Florida, Grand
Bahama is one of the most accessible islands within the Bahamas
archipelago. A laid back, family-friendly destination, this engaging
island offers an enticing blend of 'toes-in-the-sand' relaxation and
soft adventure. Kayaking, dolphin watching, scuba diving and air boat
eco-adventures are just some of the activities than can be enjoyed
within its pristine turquoise waters. On land, the island is ripe for
jeep safari and mountain biking adventures; while the inimitable
Bahamian culture and lifestyle can be savoured at regular fish fries in
the traditional village of Smith's Point and Junkanoo style carnival
events in Freeport's Count Basie Square.
Opened earlier this year, the Memories Grand Bahama Beach Resort & Casino
is the perfect choice for couples and families looking to explore this
captivating Bahamian island. Set on the white sands of Lucayan beach,

complex of Port Lucaya, this expansive property offers a casino, spa,
