YOUR PRIVATE ISLAND

“There’s nothing like having a Caribbean cruise to look forward to for a summer escape, especially when a day on a private-island paradise is included,” said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line. “The Caribbean offers that perfect combination of laid-back relaxation, fun and colourful culture, and a cruise gives travellers the most value for their money and easiest way to visit several idyllic islands in one vacation.” Most Holland America Line’s cruise itineraries include a call at Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s award-winning private Bahamian island. This quintessential private-island experience features a vast expanse of powdery-soft sand and is one of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, nestled against a natural 700-acre lagoon. An array of activity choices are available in this paradise, from relaxing in a two-storey villa or private cabanas to delicious dining options like the Lobster Shack and island barbecue. Other activities include a children’s waterpark and fun-filled shore excursions for nature lovers, adventurous travellers and explorers, featuring the ever-popular horseback ride through the surf. hollandamerica.com
