MSC Cruises Transforms Ocean Cay: New Experiences, Family Fun & Adult Retreats Await 

Imagine stepping off your MSC cruise ship into the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, feeling the soft white sand beneath your feet, and knowing that your private island getaway just got even better. That’s exactly what MSC Cruises is promising with the upcoming upgrades to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, their award-winning private island in the Caribbean. 

Set for completion in late 2027, these exciting enhancements will offer guests more ways to relax, dine, play and connect with nature. From a dedicated family lagoon to a serene adults-only beach, Ocean Cay is redefining what a tropical cruise stop can be. 

A Feast for the Senses: New Dining Experiences 

Foodies, rejoice! Ocean Cay will soon boast four new dining venues, bringing the total to seven. Guests can indulge in everything from casual buffets and food markets to a signature specialty restaurant. Whether you crave fresh seafood, international flavours, or relaxed beachside bites, every meal becomes part of the island adventure. 

Family Fun Comes Alive at Seakers Cove 

Parents, take note: Seakers Cove Family Beach is getting a major upgrade. Imagine kids splashing in the water, climbing ropes courses, playing table-tennis or foosball and enjoying interactive games - all while adults relax nearby. With playgrounds, splashpads and fun-filled tournaments, this dedicated family zone guarantees memories for every generation. 

Adults-Only Paradise: Relax, Sip & Unwind 

For those seeking peace and tranquillity, Paradise Sands offers an exclusive adults-only retreat. Lounge under the sun by day and let the beach transform into a romantic sunset haven with cocktails in hand. It’s the perfect spot to recharge and soak in the beauty of the Bahamas. 

Luxury Cabanas & More Relaxation 

With more cabanas scattered across the island, guests can pick their ideal spot to relax in comfort and style. From cozy nooks near the water to shaded retreats with ocean views, Ocean Cay’s cabanas are designed for your ultimate beach day. 

Dive Into Marine Conservation 

Ocean Cay isn’t just about sun and sand - it’s also a hub for marine conservation. The MSC Foundation’s “Shifting Perspective” Experience offers interactive ways to explore ocean ecosystems, restore coral reefs, and discover the wonders of marine life. Guests can get hands-on with science while enjoying a breathtaking island setting. 

Pier Expansion & Little Cay: More Ways to Explore 

Construction is underway to extend the pier, allowing two ships to dock simultaneously. This means more guests can experience the island’s beauty at the same time, without waiting. 

MSC Cruises is also developing a second private island, Little Cay, which will stay true to Ocean Cay’s ethos: pristine beaches, luxury amenities and immersive nature experiences. It’s the next step in MSC’s vision for sustainable, unforgettable Caribbean adventures. 

Why Ocean Cay is a Must-Visit 

Since opening in 2019, Ocean Cay has captivated guests with its turquoise waters, white sand beaches and unique experiences. Transformed from an industrial site into a thriving marine reserve, it’s a destination that combines fun, luxury and sustainability. Awarded Hope Spot status by Mission Blue and recognized for marine conservation, the island is a living testament to MSC Cruises’ commitment to the ocean and its ecosystems.
