With your choice between 12 eateries and 24 drinkeries, including six swim-up bars, there are plenty of opportunities to eat, drink and be merry.
Ocean Cay Marine Reserve
Unlike other private islands, MSC Marine Reserve reflects a longstanding commitment to sustainability and conservation efforts. Previously used as an industrial site, MSC reclaimed and restored this piece of land to its natural beauty and transformed it into a unique private destination for passengers to experience this native paradise. With over 85,000 plants and shrubs planted, 95% of which are Native Caribbean, and 400 coral colonies relocated, Ocean Cay is sure to dazzle.
Dive in to your choice of one of seven beaches, shore excursions, the Spa at Ocean Cay, food and drinks, cabana rentals, and shopping. Walk straight off the ship and onto the island for snorkeling with marine life, scuba diving, jet skiing, sunset champagne cruises and more! Find sailings here.
Private Islands provide a chance to relax and unwind while still enjoying all-inclusive amenities allowing you to extend your onboard experience to the shores.
