There are all types of cruise travellers, and all sorts of ports that make incredible stops on a cruise vacation but, private beach days are a passenger favourite. And why not? Wake up with an island paradise outside your window, just waiting for you to leave the ship and enjoy. Prefer to soak up the sun on the beach, or lay out by the pool? Travelling with kids that want activities and games? These Royal Caribbean Ultimate Destinations have something for every member of the crew.
Perfect Day at CocoCay is probably the most well-known and popular Royal Caribbean Ultimate Destination. This award-winning private island destination is more than slides and rides, the beach areas make this island the ultimate sun soaking escape. Chill Island maxes out the relaxation while South Beach is the go-to spot for those who like to get their game on. Volleyball, beachside basketball, paddle boarding, kayaking, and even zorbing amp up the excitement. Be sure to refuel over burgers, sandwiches, salads and more at the complimentary Snack Shacks throughout the island. And to quench your thirst, wade on over to the floating bar just offshore.
Get ready for gallons of adventure in the heart of the island—Thrill Waterpark—home to North America’s tallest waterslide: Daredevil’s Peak, a 135-foot plunge. And that’s just one of 13 slides across two towers. At Daredevil’s Tower, you can race a friend down the twin Duelling Demons with an addictively frightful drop. Plummet down the near-vertical Screeching Serpent. And if you dare, brave the coils of the twisting, turning Green Mamba slide. The kids can leave their cares behind at Splashaway Bay with fountains, sprinklers, geysers and water cannons, plus five slides. All in all, no island has more ways to get soaked.
Beach days go next level at the first of its kind Royal Beach Club Paradise Island. From water transportations to drinks at the swim up bar, mouthwatering bites and more, it’s all included with the purchase of an Unlimited Open Bar Day Pass. Swim, sip, and unwind on the powdery white sands of Paradise Beach and Chill Beach. And indulge in irresistible island fare like Pinwheel Shrimp Skewers and Vanilla Bundt Cake with guava sauce. Plus, soak up sweeping Caribbean views from three pools, each with its own vibe. Or head to Party Cove for the world’s largest swim-up bar fuelled by dancing and nonstop beats.
Beachside meets mountainside on the shores of Labadee, a Royal Caribbean private destination on Haiti’s northern coast. Here you’ll find pristine sands, coral reefs and jungle-covered hilltops nestling lagoon-like bays. There’s no shortage of places to relax and recharge across five stretches of beach. Or dial up the thrills on an active adventure like a half-mile-long zip line ride over the ocean.
