Half Moon Cay
Your Private Island Experience Awaits
In a region renowned for tropical wonders, one island rises to the top—Holland America's. We’re not the only ones enamored with our slice of paradise—Half Moon Cay is the highest-rated Bahamas private island. It has won Porthole Cruise Magazine’s Best Private Island award consecutively for 20 years.
We’ve spent a quarter of a century perfecting the experience. When you feel the sugar-white sand on your toes or kayak its crystal lagoon, you’ll understand why cruise travelers love Half Moon Cay, a highlight of our Bahamas cruises..
Island Amenities
Dining
Savor our Destination Dining featuring jerk chicken and chili-fried rice or sample grilled lobster, banana rum cake or a frozen cocktail at the On the Rocks Island Bar. Indulge in a private cabana or thatch-roofed palapa complete with a private oceanfront access while our experienced chefs cater your every need.
Adventure
Rent snorkel gear and discover a remarkable array of tropical fish. Spot clownfish in their anemones, watch blue tangs dart around the reefs, and see stingrays undulate over the ocean floor. Then, hop on a personal watercraft and zip along the island’s scenic shoreline to reefs, inlets and sand bars.
Relaxation
Stroll the two miles of beach for a blissful sensory experience not found anywhere else. Sand doesn’t get much softer than it is at Half Moon Cay, so take the time to walk barefoot along the shoreline, stretch out on a beach blanket or build a castle with the kiddos.
Award-Winning Services
On our award-winning private island, get a massage in a cooled, oceanside cabana. Let your worries wash away in our private oasis or reserve an exclusive retreat with one of our 15 private cabanas or five two-story beach villas with butlers servicing your every need.
