MSC Cruises : 4 nights from Port Canaveral with MSC Seashore
May 2, 2027

Nassau

Originally known as Charles Town, NASSAU is the modern face of the Bahamas. In addition to the natural beauties, enough historical flavor has been preserved to satisfy enthusiasts.

Much of its atmosphere derives from its development during the period from 1787 to 1834, when many of the city's best colonial buildings were built. Prior to this accumulation, Nassau had largely been a rustic refuge for pirates, privateers and saboteurs.

Ocean Cay

This island, once used for sand extraction, has been turned into a true natural paradise that is eco-friendly and respectful of the marine environment.

The Ocean Cay Marine Reserve is located in the Bimini district and boasts a vast variety of Caribbean native plants, shrubs, trees and palms, as well as 400 coral colonies and 64 relocated coral by MSC. Upon arriving on the island, passengers can immerse themselves in nature and savor many local dishes at the various bars and restaurants.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve is a unique private island located in the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas, near Bimini. It is exclusively owned by MSC Cruises and represents much more than just a tropical stopover; it embodies a pioneering commitment to marine conservation and environmental restoration. What was once an industrial site for sand extraction has been transformed into a thriving marine ecosystem and a sustainable paradise for passengers on MSC ships.

The island has been meticulously restored to bring coral reefs back to life and promote local biodiversity. The atmosphere here is focused on connecting with nature, offering relaxation and pristine beauty, combined with an authentic Bahamian spirit.

Activities on Ocean Cay are designed to immerse guests in the island's natural beauty and its spirit of conservation:

Pristine Beaches: The island boasts as many as eight distinct beaches, for a total of over 3 km of fine white sand. From the quiet bays perfect for families to the livelier beaches, there is a corner of paradise for everyone to relax, swim and sunbathe in the turquoise waters.

Marine Exploration: Being a marine reserve, snorkeling and diving (the latter often organized) are privileged activities to admire the restored corals and the growing population of colorful fish. Kayaks and paddleboards are also available to explore the calm coastal waters.

Wellness and Relaxation: A dedicated area to the MSC Aurea Spa offers massages and wellness treatments in special cabanas overlooking the sea, for total relaxation lulled by the sound of the waves.

Unique Evening Activities: Unlike many other private islands, Ocean Cay often allows extended stays until late evening or even overnight. This gives the opportunity to witness the suggestive lighthouse show, enjoy live music, participate in beach parties under the stars or simply admire spectacular sunsets.

Food and Drink: A large buffet (Seakers Food Court) offers a variety of international and local dishes included in the cruise price. Numerous bars scattered around the island, such as the Springer's Bar at the base of the lighthouse, serve refreshing cocktails and drinks, often with a Bahamian touch.
Shopping and Local Culture: A Bahamian village houses small shops selling local handicrafts, souvenirs and products related to the island's conservation mission.

Focus on Conservation: The heart of the island is its status as a marine reserve. MSC collaborates with experts to study and protect the ecosystem, and there are opportunities for guests to learn more about these efforts.
The Iconic Lighthouse: A colorful lighthouse dominates the island, serving as a landmark and the center of the evening show.
Sustainability: The island is designed with ecological principles, aiming to minimize environmental impact.
Evening Experience: The possibility of staying on the island after sunset sets it apart from many other private destinations.
Yacht Club Area: MSC Yacht Club guests enjoy an exclusive area with dedicated beach and restaurant.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve offers an experience that combines Caribbean beauty with a deep respect for the marine environment, giving a day (and sometimes an evening) of relaxation, discovery and authentic connection with the nature of the Bahamas.
