Your Guide to Private Islands in the Caribbean

Your Guide to Private Islands in the Caribbean

Your Guide to Private Islands in the Caribbean Caribbean cruises are already considered the peak of luxury by many, but some cruise lines have amped up the wow factor with incredible private islands. These stunning islands in the sun are packed with amazing activities, gorgeous scenery and fantastic food. But best of all, access to them is exclusive to passengers of the cruise line that owns them.   How many Private Islands does the Caribbean have? The 1.06 million square miles that make up the Caribbean contains over seven thousand islands. With only about a hundred of these islands being inhabited, that leaves plenty to be bought and privately owned- which is likely why the Caribbean makes up 40% of the global private island market. But which Caribbean islands have cruises?   Does Royal Caribbean have their own Private Island? Royal Caribbean is the cruise line most synonymous with Caribbean Cruises boasts not one but two private islands! Perfect Day at CocoCay Probably the most famous of the Cruise Line Private Islands, Royal Caribbean’s CocoCay in the Bahamas is a dream holiday destination. Adrenaline junkies will adore the Thrill Waterpark, which boasts the 135 foot tall Devil’s Peak, North America’s tallest waterslide. Those wanting to reach new heights in a more relaxed manner can take in magnificent views of the island from the Up, Up & Away helium balloon. And for complete serenity, pay a visit to Chill Island and book one of CocoCay’s floating beach Cabanas. Hunger is never an issue on CocoCay, with a beach barbeque, three snack shacks, and the delicious offerings of Captain Jack’s Bar. As if all that wasn’t enough, CocoCay also offers the largest freshwater pool in the Bahamas and the largest wave pool in the Caribbean. If a private island isn’t quite exclusive enough for you, you can also book into the ultra-exclusive Coco Beach Club. Labadee Located on the North Coast of Haiti, Labadee is a capable rival to its Bahamas based brother. Soar over the island on the 2, 600 foot Dragon’s Breath zipline or scream with terror on the Dragon’s Tail coaster. Make sure to pay a visit to the Arawak Aqua Park, shop at the island’s own Haitian flea market, and take advantage of the amazing water-sports opportunities on the island. If you’ve ever wanted to try parasailing, now is the time! And no day at Labadee would be complete without sipping their signature beverage –  the Labadoozie.   Do MSC cruises have their own private island? As of 2019, MSC cruises have been the proud owners of one of the Caribbean’s newest private islands. Ocean Cay Despite being a newcomer in the world of Cruise Line islands, Ocean Cay already offers a range of fabulous activities and attractions. Enjoy their luxurious spa with yoga and fitness classes, indulge in a wonderful frozen treat at their ice cream parlour (make sure to order your dessert in a fish-shaped cone), or swim in their saltwater lagoon. If you like to stay active abroad, you’ll love their sports zone and activities like paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkelling.   Do Princess Cruises have their own private island? Whilst not technically a full island, Princess Cruises lays claim to 40 beautiful acres on the southern tip of Eleuthera. Princess Cays Princess Cays offers something for everyone, whether you want to zoom over the waves in a banana boat or peruse a quaint craft market. There are water-sports for athletic types and a beach barbeque for foodies. And you can overlook the spectacular scenery of the island from Princess Cays’ very own observation tower. However, the crowning glory of Princess Cays is the exclusive beach parties. A day at Ocean Cay is always topped off with a sensational light show from the island’s very own lighthouse.   Do Disney Cruises have their own private island? The filming location for Disney’s Splash is now their exclusive Caribbean Cruise destination. Castaway Cay A private island with a twist, Castaway Cay has your favourite Disney characters roaming around. But that’s not the only incredible offering of the island. Castaway Cay also brags a snorkelling lagoon, a sports beach, and a games pavilion. And more energetic cruisers can start their day with a 5k run in the morning (don’t worry- it’s optional). Castaway Cay is exceptional in its ability to cater to all ages. For kids, they offer fantastic wet play areas, Pelican’s Plunge and Spring-a-Leak, as well as Lilo and Stitch dance parties. But whilst Castaway Cay has wonderful family beaches, grown-ups wanting peace and quiet can retreat to the mile long adults-only Serenity Bay. Teens have their own private zones too.   Does Norwegian Cruise Line have their own private island? Like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line has two private Caribbean islands for their passengers to enjoy. Great Stirrup Cay One of the Bahamas oldest private islands, Great Stirrup Cay is rich with amazing things to see and do. Take an eco-boat tour around the island, relax in their spa, seek thrills at their water park, or dine at their multiple restaurants. One of the starring attractions of Great Stirrup Cay is snorkelling in their impressive underwater sculpture garden. Visitors also love Great Stirrup Cay’s straw market and the yummy fare of the complimentary Abaco Taco taco bar. Harvest Caye This glorious Southern Belize island is ideal for lovers of natural beauty. Swim in the world’s second largest barrier reef and get close to incredible wildlife in their nature centre. The island also possesses a 15,000 square foot pool with a swim up bar, a saltwater lagoon and a shopping village. For a thrilling way to bask in this island’s brilliant views, take on Harvest Caye’s 3,000 foot zipline ‘The Flighthouse’.   Tips for enjoying Cruise Line Private Islands You’ll undoubtedly want to make the most of your time on one of these island paradises, so we have a few tips to help you do just that. Know what’s included and what’s extra Not all of the delights of private islands are included in the cost of your cruise. Umbrellas for shade, certain eateries and water-sports can all cost extra, so make sure you know which amenities charge an additional fee before you go.  If you want to avoid paying any extra fees, consider bringing your own equipment like snorkels, beach toys and means of shade. Book in advance If you dream of relaxing in a private cabana or beach villa, you’ll need to reserve one ASAP, either whilst on-board the ship or before you even embark on your cruise. Beach umbrellas and water-sports equipment should be reserved as early as possible too. Lotion up Don’t let the excitement of a private island distract you from the cardinal rule of any holiday in the sun. Apply sun cream as often as possible to prevent your amazing day being marred by sunburn or sunstroke. Choose your spot carefully Picking a spot on the beach to set up camp requires a lot of consideration. Areas of beach nearest to where the ship docks will become chaotic and busy in moments- so catch an open air tram to a more suitable location. You should also think about how shaded you want your spot to be, and what island amenities you’d like to be nearest to. Bring insect repellent Bug bites might be the only negative of Caribbean Cruises- avoid them by regularly spraying your ankles with insect repellent. Wear Cotton One of the biggest appeals of Caribbean cruises is the glorious heat- but that heat can become stifling if you aren’t wearing a breathable material like cotton. If you’re itching to experience the wonders of one of these exquisite islands, our expert cruise concierge service has a number of Caribbean Cruise deals to make all your dreams come true!

8 Essential Items To Take On A Cruise

8 Essential Items To Take On A Cruise

8 Essential Items To Take On A Cruise [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There is nothing worse than reaching your stateroom and realising you have forgotten something. Whether it’s your phone charger or favourite flip-flops, here are eight of the best things to pack for your next cruise.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] 1. Lightweight case                       Obvious packing items include your passport and currency, but start with the basics and ensure your suitcase makes packing efficient from the get-go. Grab a case that is equally lightweight and large, easy to identify and smooth to move – making it simple for those on cruise and stay breaks or flying to a port before embarking.   Find your perfect cruise and stay break   2. Organising on-board Once you have reached your cabin, space-saving is vital. Pack an over-the-door organiser so you can hang shoes, toiletries or devices out of the way. Another must-pack is a charging station. Most rooms only have one or two electrical ports, and with cruisers bringing multiple devices on-board including tablets, cameras and phones, a charging station ensures your electricals are all fully charged before dinner. Check with your cruise line to see which ports are included in your room, as you may also need to bring along a travel adaptor or two.   3. Handy hanging Most cruise lines only include a few clothes hangers in each room, meaning you must limit what you hang up in your wardrobe. For simplicity, include a few wire hangers in your packing and pop them into your wardrobe to maximise space and feel more at home. A hanging jewellery bag can also help with organising your jewellery, without necklaces getting tangled or earrings going missing.   4. Additional luggage When visiting so many fantastic destinations, there are plenty of opportunities to buy a special gift for someone back home or bring back a keepsake for yourself. Add a lightweight duffle bag to your luggage to pack items you have bought during your cruise and bring them home. These can be checked in at the airport on your return and join you on your flight home. During your cruise, extra luggage can also double up as a laundry bag to keep your worn socks away from your posh evening gown!   5. Expert carry-on Check the weather for your cruise destinations and make sure you only include practical clothes, rather than packing for every eventuality. The Caribbean? Don’t forget your beach towel! Alaska? Make sure you bring a jumper. An extra layer or sunny accessories are ideal to include in your carry-on or handbag, so you have them to hand as soon as you are on-board, ensuring you can enjoy the ship instantly. Extra essentials include sun cream, bathing suits and your camera so you don’t miss any photo opportunities.   6. Binoculars Binoculars are a great addition for those on-board a cruise ship; seeing the port growing closer through the lens will make you come over all Christopher Columbus! These are also perfect for spotting wildlife and cultural highlights as you sail through each of your destinations.   7. Medication On-board medicine can be pricey and limited, so it is always better to bring your own. Painkillers, anti-sickness and travel remedies are all easy to pick up from your local pharmacy and can bring solace on those dreary days at sea when your sea-legs haven’t quite kicked in. For light-sleepers, include ear plugs in your luggage as the engine room or crew service entrances can keep some cruisers awake into the early hours. Add all of these into a small first aid kit you can take on all your cruise journeys.   8. Dress codes When choosing between your best frocks and your trouser-suits, read up on your cruise ship’s dress code as some are stricter than others. MSC’s code is ‘resort casual, while Cunard’s is arguably one of the most formal at sea. A lot of ships also restrict jeans in some restaurants and lounges, and host formal nights, so check what the must-dos are before you risk packing clothes you won’t wear. Though this post doesn’t include absolutely everything to take on a cruise, it highlights items which many first-time or even regular cruisers can overlook. Do you have a handy essential which you never forget to pack when cruising? Let us know in the comments below!   Find the perfect cruise to pack for   If you’re itching to get away and your suitcase is already packed, call our Cruise Concierge team on 0808 239 4588
