Whoa. These 12 Cruise Lines Have Their Own Private Islands & Beaches

Fun fact for those who aren’t already in the know (myself included): There are multiple cruise lines that own private islands and beaches that are exclusive to their ship passengers. Royal Caribbean has a tropical Haitian island with a giant overwater zip line. MSC is opening a private marine reserve in the Bahamas. Paul Gaugiun Cruises has a private, bespoke paradise in French Polynesia. Even Disney Cruises are in on the action, with an island in the Bahamas where Disney characters roam. So, next time you’re looking to set sail to a secluded beach, consider taking a cruise to one of these tropical destinations.
