Cococay

Surrounded by clear and fresh waters of the Bahamas, lies the secluded island of Cococay, an eco-certified private destination. Exclusively reserved for cruise ship guests, this 140-acre tropical paradise, with its white sandy beaches and stunning surroundings, is a wonderland of adventures.

CocoCay (officially known as "Perfect Day at CocoCay") is another sparkling gem in the Bahamas archipelago, but with a personality all its own. Like Stirrup Cay, it is a private island, but this one is exclusively owned by Royal Caribbean International (and also used by sister company Celebrity Cruises). Also located in the Berry Islands, CocoCay has been transformed through a massive investment into a destination that promises, as the name says, a "perfect day" for passengers on their cruises.

The island has been designed to offer an incredible mix of adrenaline, relaxation and fun for all ages, going beyond the classic Caribbean beach experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, while maintaining areas dedicated to absolute tranquility.

Coco Beach Club: For a luxury experience (with a supplement), this exclusive club offers a private beach, a high-class restaurant, an oceanfront infinity pool and the coveted over-the-water cabanas, the first for a cruise line in the Caribbean.
Food at Will: Several free eateries such as Skipper's Grill, Chill Grill and various Snack Shack offer a wide choice of dishes, from barbecues to burgers, salads and tacos, ensuring that no one goes hungry. Numerous bars serve exotic cocktails.Unique Features
