Princess Cays Cruises: Your Private Bahamas Paradise

Princess Cays sits on the southern tip of Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas, serving as Princess Cruises' exclusive private destination. This secluded 40-acre peninsula offers cruisers a taste of Caribbean paradise without the crowds of public ports. With over 226 upcoming sailings and prices starting at just $219, it's one of the most accessible private island experiences in the cruise industry.

The island features a half-mile stretch of white sand beach backed by swaying palms and crystal-clear turquoise waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Shore excursions include kayaking through mangroves, paddleboarding, banana boat rides, and guided snorkel tours over coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. For those seeking relaxation, beachside clamshell cabanas offer shaded comfort with food and beverage service. The island also features beach volleyball, a shopping area with local Bahamian crafts, and multiple bars serving tropical drinks. A complimentary barbecue lunch is typically provided on the beach, featuring grilled favorites and island-inspired dishes.

Most Princess Cays itineraries depart from Florida ports including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Port Canaveral, making it an ideal stop on Eastern Caribbean and Bahamas voyages. Popular ships calling here include Regal Princess and Sky Princess, though you'll also find Carnival Cruise Line vessels stopping at this destination through Princess's sister company operations. The port appeals to families looking for hassle-free beach days, couples seeking romantic tropical settings, and anyone who prefers the convenience of a private island over navigating busy port cities. Since everything is within walking distance from the tender dock and there's no need to arrange independent transportation, Princess Cays offers one of the most relaxing port days you'll experience.
