Nature made it beautiful, we made it unique

Discover our new and exclusive Bahamian destination: Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

Here you can spend a one-of-a-kind experience on an authentic Caribbean Marine Reserve, while connecting with the natural world, feeling the warmth of the Bahamian spirit and immersing in an eco-friendly environment.

Marine Reserve offers guests over 2 miles of white sand beaches to spread out and relax beside crystal blue water, and activities for all ages day and night.

With docking right on the island, you can walk straight off the ship to one of the island’s multiple beaches where chairs, umbrellas and cabanas await. Spend the day snorkeling, paddle boarding, jet skiing and more, or for wellness and relaxation, visit The Spa at Ocean Cay offering beachside massages.

Grab a snack or refresh with an Instagram-worthy beverage at food trucks and beach bars throughout the island. With late night — or overnight — stays on many cruises, you'll get to spend a full day, or two, on our stunning island. Melt into the sunset with a beach picnic, fire pits or a glow paddle boarding experience in our lagoon. Then, watch as the Lighthouse shines with a spectacular light show.

It's no wonder Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve has been named Best New Cruise Destination!
