Since there is no usable port for the large cruisers, the anchor is anchored in front and the people are brought ashore with small water taxis (200 people) ...
The geographic name of this island is "Little San Salvador Island". Half Moon Cay is an arcuate part of an uninhabited island, which is designated as a nature reserve due to important bird breeding areas and is managed by the Bahamian National Trust. It is one of the eastern islands in the Bahamas.
In 1996 the island was bought by the Holland America Line cruise line and started operating as a private island in 1997. The ships usually anchor off the island, as there is no dredged harbor basin, and passengers are taken to the jetty by tender boats. The island offers extensive leisure activities such as swimming, snorkeling, sailing, surfing and you can also rent private cabanas for the duration of your stay. The opportunity to ride horses on the beach is unique.
Meals and basic drinks are included, as on the ships themselves - other services such as leisure activities and, of course, alcoholic beverages are chargeable.
After Holland-America-Line was taken over by the cruise company Carnival Corporation, this private island also serves as a cruise stop for other ships of the group such as Carnival, Cunard, Seabourn.
The brilliant white beach and crystal clear light blue shimmering water make Half Moon Cay an attractive stop for cruise ships.
Little San Salvatore Island Island of the Bahamas, one of 700 islands of the Bahamas. Just as you would imagine white beaches, turquoise water, wonderful.
