Incredible private islands you can only visit on a cruise including Disney spot
Cruise lines have their own private islands for guests to enjoy - take a look at four seriously bucket list-worthy destinations you'll want on your radar The appeal of cruise holidays has traditionally focused on visiting a wide variety of places. But an increasing number of firms are choosing to drop anchor at exclusive destinations in idyllic locations. Private island stops are becoming a highlight of itineraries, with big players investing heavily in castaway cays reserved for their guests. Holland America Line, part of the Carnival Group, recently revealed a revamp of their popular Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. A new pier will allow more ships to dock at the destination – soon to be named RelaxAway island, hinting at the investment planned for more laid back leisure facilities. Other lines have equally big ideas. Expanding beyond The Bahamas – where most island escapes have been based to date – Royal Caribbean is hoping to develop a new Perfect Day project in Mexico (due to open in 2027), while MSC has announced plans for an Abu Dhabi private island experience in the Middle East. And why not? – discovering a secret island is, after all, the stuff of childhood dreams. Here are some of the fantasy islands where it's already possible to set sail. Great Stirrup Cay, The Bahamas In 1977, this was the first island to be bought by a company solely for their guests. Norwegian Cruise Line has built a resort with bars and restaurants over the years and there are still more developments to come in the 268-acre tropical oasis. You can book guided snorkelling tours around a marine sanctuary, or rent equipment for parasailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and jet skiing. For families, there's an aqua park with inflatable water obstacles. Labadee, Haiti Royal Caribbean has invested in a private patch of a peninsula on the northern coast of Cuba's neighbour, Haiti. Set against plunging coastal cliffs, a choice of beaches ranges from the peaceful Columbus Cove to the livelier Adrenaline Beach. For thrill-seekers, there's a chance to jump on a roller coaster or try the world's longest overwater zip line. Unlike many private locations, interactions with local communities are possible at an artisan market and a cultural programme highlighting Haitian history and traditions is in the works. Despite its popularity, the edgy destination is marred by unrest. Recently, stops were temporarily suspended due to 'an abundance of caution' although it's hoped they will resume in the future. Castaway Cay, The Bahamas Around 30 miles north of NCL's private paradise is Disney's answer to a magical far-flung tropical kingdom. Although there are currently no Pirates of the Caribbean in this Atlantic cay, secluded coves were once used by the likes of Blackbeard in the 18th century. During the US Prohibition, the island served as a smuggling base and in the 1970s its airstrips were used by drug runners. A £18.5million investment transformed it in the mid-1990s, including a channel allowing ships to dock. Expect themed environments and areas dedicated to different age groups, including the adults-only Serenity Bay. Amber Cove, Dominican Republic Carnival Corporation invested £63million to develop this site near Puerto Plata on the Dominican Republic's northern coast. Princess Cruises and Holland America guests can visit, following in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus who landed here in 1492. Extending from a hillside, zip lines traverse the port complex and there's a 25,000 square-foot pool area with a swim-up bar, water slides, and private cabanas. The island is part of the mainland, but the private area has a big advantage over island escapes when it comes to exploring and interacting with communities.

Holland America Line Unveils 2027 Solar Eclipse Cruises
Guests can experience the solar eclipse at sea via in-depth European journey or two-week Mediterranean cruise; Northern Lights adventures also open for booking SEATTLE, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- Today, Holland America Line announced a new slate of cruises taking guests to prime locations throughout Europe to witness some of nature's most stunning phenomena. Those seeking to sail in the shadow of the sun during the 2027 solar eclipse can now book one of two cruises departing summer of 2027. Also available for booking are three newly opened sailings offering guests a chance to catch a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights. The total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, Aug. 2, 2027, with the path of totality crossing mainly over Northern Africa. Two Holland America Line ships — Nieuw Statendam and Oosterdam — will be positioned off the western coast of Morocco and eastern coast of Tunisia, respectively, for guests on board to experience maximum totality. "The excitement around viewing a total solar eclipse the past few years has been palpable, and we jumped at the chance to create more itineraries that give our guests the incomparable opportunity of viewing the eclipse at sea," said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment for Holland America Line. "When you're at sea, there is a greater opportunity to witness an eclipse in the clear because the ship can attempt to position itself away from cloud cover — and the view on the horizon means you get more of the shadow coming in and going out. Because of that, these cruises are extremely popular: for everyone from professional astronomers to travelers looking to check an eclipse off their bucket list." Two Viewing Opportunities Guests hoping to see the 2027 eclipse aboard a Holland America Line ship can choose from two voyages. Travelers on both voyages can expect lectures from and the opportunity to connect with scientific experts, themed activities and more. Proper equipment — like eclipse glasses — will be provided for the safety of guests. And while in port, guests will be able to further delve into the way civilizations in the past designed life around phenomena in the sky, including solar eclipses. "For millennia, civilizations have studied celestial happenings, and that impact is seen even now in many famous landmarks and monuments," said Grigsby. "We took care to add ports into the itinerary that have some connection to the study of the sun and stars: on the 28-day, one example includes Portland, England, within close proximity to famous Stonehenge, long believed to be built with the solstice in mind. And on the 14-day, guests can visit the world's largest and most complex astronomical clock in Messina, Italy." 28-Day Legendary Solar Eclipse & Cosmic Port Explorer Travelers hoping to extend their adventure can board Nieuw Statendam on July 10, 2027, for a 28-Day Legendary Solar Eclipse & Cosmic Port Explorer roundtrip from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, or Dover, England. Guests will then explore 13 ports in Denmark, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Morocco — including overnight calls in Tilbury (London) and Barcelona. After a memorable solar eclipse at sea off the coast of Morocco, the ship will sail to Leixões (Porto), Portugal, before returning to Rotterdam. Guests can dive further into the study of the sun and the sky via excursions to destinations like the Alhambra Palace in Malaga, designed with architectural features that align with the sun's path, and Montjuic Hill and Observatory in Barcelona — rife with ancient structures aligned with celestial events. 14-Day Solar Eclipse & Astronomical Discovery Guests hoping to supplement their solar eclipse viewing with the perfect Mediterranean vacation can embark on Oosterdam for a 14-Day Solar Eclipse & Astronomical Discovery departing July 31, 2027. Sailing roundtrip from Piraeus (Athens), Greece, Oosterdam will first sail toward Tunisia, finding the ideal position off the coast for eclipse viewing. Guests will then visit ports in Tunisia, Malta, Italy and Greece. An extended call in Valetta, Malta, provides guests ample time to visit the Royal Malta Observatory and learn how telescopes and scientific instruments aided the study of celestial bodies — and improved maritime navigation. The two new itineraries join three existing itineraries that are already bookable for the 2026 eclipse — a 28-Day Scandinavian Solar Eclipse with Greenland and Scotland and a 35-Day Voyage of the Vikings: Solar Eclipse with eclipse viewings off the northeast coast of Iceland, as well as a 13-Day Solar Eclipse with Barcelona Overnight with eclipse viewing off the west coast of Spain. 2027 'Northern Lights' Cruises aboard Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam As scientists continue to predict intense solar cycles for decades to come, active auroras mean travelers have more opportunities to plan a vacation to see them on vacation. Guests seeking to pair that adventure with an in-depth exploration of Norway can do so on one of three Northern Lights cruises aboard Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam. The cruises feature an overnight in Alta, also known as "The City of the Northern Lights," and spend five days above the Arctic Circle. Guests sailing to see the Northern Lights can sign up to get a wake-up call from the ship any time the aurora borealis is spotted. Oct. 3, 2027, 14-Day Arctic Journey and Northern Lights with HISTORY CHANNEL Sails aboard Rotterdam, roundtrip from Rotterdam, departing Oct. 3, at Bergen, Ålesund, Trondheim (late-night call),Tromsø, Alta (overnight), Leknes (Lofoten), and Åndalsnes, Norway; and Lerwick, Shetland Islands.

Cruise to the path of totality: Holland America offers new eclipse itineraries for 2027 Show Caption Hide Caption How to find the best price, perks when booking a cruise Find the cruise that works for your budget with these tips. Problem Solved Next year's solar eclipse isn't the only one on the horizon. There will be another total solar eclipse in 2027, and Holland America Line will take guests to the path of totality. The cruise line will sail two ships off the coast of North Africa to give passengers a prime viewing experience on Aug. 2, 2027. 'The excitement around viewing total solar eclipse the past few years has been palpable, and we jumped at the chance to create more itineraries that give our guests the incomparable opportunity of viewing the eclipse at sea,' Paul Grigsby, the line's vice president of deployment, said in a news release. 'When you're at sea, there is a greater opportunity to witness an eclipse in the clear because the ship can attempt to position itself away from cloud cover – and the view on the horizon means you get more of the shadow coming in and going out.' Here's what to know. When are Holland America's 2027 solar eclipse cruises? The 28-Day Legendary Solar Eclipse & Cosmic Port Explorer cruise will depart on July 10, 2027. Guests will sail round-trip from Rotterdam in the Netherlands aboard the line's nearly 2,700-guest Nieuw Statendam ship. For those looking for a shorter option, the 14-Day Solar Eclipse & Astronomical Discovery itinerary will begin on July 31. The line's Oosterdam – which can accommodate just under 2,000 guests – will sail round-trip from Piraeus, Greece, the port for Athens. What can guests expect? Passengers booked on the 28-day itinerary will visit ports in Denmark, the U.K., France, Spain, Morocco and more before making their way to an eclipse-viewing spot off Morocco's coast. The itinerary includes overnight stops in Tilbury, England and Barcelona. Oosterdam, for its part, will kick off its voyage with eclipse viewing near Tunisia, before visiting the country along with Malta – where it will stay overnight in Valletta – Italy and Greece. Grigsby noted the cruise line 'took care to add ports into the itinerary that have some connection to the study of the sun and stars,' such as England's Isle of Portland which offers access to Stonehenge. Both voyages will feature onboard scientific experts and 'themed activities,' according to the release. And no need to worry about buying eclipse glasses – the cruise line will provide them. 'The ship can move': Why you should watch next solar eclipses from a cruise ship Holland America will also offer eclipse cruises in 2026. How much do the cruises cost?
