Private Islands and Ports
One of the greatest "secrets" to crusing is that the cruiselines own different ports and islands around the world that their cruises guests can only visit by sailing on that specific cruise line. These options are still growing too with recent additions like Celebration Key on Grand Bahama Island. What you get at this fantastic designations can vary from one place to the next, but all offer something pretty amazing to experience.

Here guests can experience a huge variety of offerings, many that are included in the basic cruise fare, all inside of the cruise line's own piece of tropical paradise.
From buffet lunches to relaxing on the beach, there's a lot to take in at a Private Island.
Private Ports of Call

These are not private islands, but ports that only the cruiseline's guests may have access to. They often have many activities included in the cost of the cruisefare, but not as many as a private island. They serve more as a gateway to a much bigger adventure. Although, there's plenty to do at the port, without leaving it.
Is everything included at a Private Island or Port of Call? NO - while there is a lot included, there is a lot that you can purchase or upgrade. You can visit without spending another dime or you can splurge and enjoy the very best that these destinations have to offer.
