Caribbean

Royal Caribbean has a reputation for giving family travelers incredible Caribbean cruises on ships offering non-stop fun with every amenity imaginable. But when it comes time to stop at CocoCay, families cruising the Bahamas are in for a treat. Also known as Little Stirrup Cay, this private destination island comes complete with countless amenities in one place to make for the ideal Caribbean getaway.

 

CocoCay is the perfect family destination, offering something for everyone. The island’s many neighborhoods, like South Beach with its exciting watersports, and Oasis Lagoon with its swim-up freshwater pool bar, offer a wide range of activities and leisure. From the thrill of riding Daredevil’s Tower, North America’s tallest water slide at Thrill Waterpark, to relaxing in the tranquility of Chill Island’s beachfront lounge chairs, cruise passengers can spend their time doing whatever they choose. Guests can even view the island from 450 feet up on a hot-air balloon.

 

Royal Caribbean offers a number of cruise itineraries that include a “perfect day at CocoCay.” Take a quick weekend cruise with a day in Nassau paired with your day in CocoCay. Guests can also take an extended cruise with up to nine days at sea, visiting ports like Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda, George Town in Grand Cayman, or Oranjestad, Aruba, in addition to a full day (7 a.m.–5 p.m.) at CocoCay. Perfect Day at CocoCay itineraries depart from Galveston, Texas; Baltimore, Maryland; and New York, New York; along with Florida ports of call like Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
