If you dream of visiting the beautiful Bahamas, the cruise line has just made it even easier with the opening of their private island and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. The emphasis is on providing guests with the opportunity to engage with marine life and nature in its natural state. Of course, this all comes with all the expected food, drinks, entertainment, watersports activities, tours and excursions that are part of any self-respecting 21st century cruise!
The project began in March 2016 and was delayed by the destructive wave action of the category 4 Hurricane Dorian in September 2019. The island welcomed its first MSC guests on December 5, 2019. Four ships will include a day at Ocean Cay on its itineraries in 2020. The development cost £134 million ($200 million).
