Half Moon Cay a cruise line owned island in the Bahamas offers something a growning number of cruise lines are adopting…the Private Island Experience.

More and more cruise lines are realizing that weary travellers want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and experience something truly unique and relaxing. And as anyone who loves islands knows there is no better place to accomplish this than on a private island.

The cruise-private island vacation combo has grown to include such islands as Castaway Cay (Disney Cruises), Coco Cay (Royal Caribbean), and Great Stirrup Cay (Norwegian Cruises). In addition, many cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean have begun purchasing peninsulas or tiny strips of land in destinations such as Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Although not private islands, peninsulas are widely considered to be the next best thing.
