Half Moon Cay

Half Moon Cay: your own private isle, a day like no other

The quintessential Caribbean. That's the way guests describe Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line's private island in the Bahamas. This 1,700-acre island – only two percent of which is developed – features a huge interior lagoon and a two-mile crescent of perfect beach rimmed by blue.

In fact, for seven years in a row, Porthole Cruise Magazine has awarded Half Moon Cay with its Best Private Island award. After a few minutes here, you'll do the same.

Graceful, gentle winged angels of the deep. Stingrays are curious creatures that will follow you anywhere for a simple piece of squid. Holland America Line visits several places where you can see or touch stingrays in the Caribbean, including Stingray Cove on Half Moon Cay.
