Overview
Princess Cays is an exclusive private beach destination for Princess Cruises (and sometimes Carnival Cruise Line guests), located on the southern tip of the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Spanning over 40 acres with more than half a mile of pristine white-sand shoreline, this idyllic retreat is designed to offer the ultimate beach day in a carefully preserved natural environment. It combines the quintessential Bahamian charm with a full array of amenities and activities, all conveniently accessible to cruise guests.
From sun-drenched relaxation on complimentary lounge chairs to thrilling water sports and unique island excursions, Princess Cays provides a diverse range of experiences. Guests can savor complimentary beach barbecues, browse local crafts, or retreat to private, air-conditioned bungalows for an enhanced level of comfort. Princess Cays epitomizes the dream Caribbean escape, inviting visitors to unwind, explore, and create unforgettable memories in a picture-perfect setting.
The main draw of Princess Cays is its stunning white-sand beaches. Complimentary lounge chairs are abundant, inviting you to kick back, soak up the sun, and enjoy the gentle lapping of the waves in the crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Tip: For a quieter experience, seek out areas further along the beach from the main activity hub. Consider renting a clamshell or daybed for extra shade and comfort.
Dive into the pristine waters for some fantastic snorkeling, exploring the vibrant marine life and coral reefs just offshore. A wide array of water sports equipment is available for rent, including kayaks, paddleboards, paddle wheelers, floats, aqua chairs, and even Hobie Wave sailboats.
Tip: Snorkel equipment can be rented, or you can bring your own. For a dry view of the underwater world, consider a glass-bottom boat cruise.
Fuel up for your day of fun with the complimentary beach barbecue offered by the cruise line. Enjoy grilled favorites like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken, along with fresh salads and refreshing drinks, all served right by the surf.
Tip: Dining areas are strategically placed throughout the Cays; find one that suits your preferred level of activity or quiet.
For an adventurous twist, consider an excursion like the Dune Buggy Heritage Adventure, which takes you off-road to explore the rugged southern tip of Eleuthera, visiting scenic lookouts and local points of interest. Alternatively, a scenic coastal cruise offers a relaxing way to see hidden coves and rock formations from the water.
Tip: These excursions are often booked through the cruise line and are a great way to see more of Eleuthera beyond the immediate resort area. Be prepared for some dust on the dune buggy tour.
Browse the Shopping Bazaar, where local vendors offer authentic handmade Bahamian crafts, jewelry, and souvenirs. It's a great opportunity to find a unique keepsake and support local artisans.
Tip: While major purchases can often be charged to your cruise card at official Princess Cays shops, local artisans often prefer cash (U.S. dollars are widely accepted).
For the ultimate in comfort and privacy, consider reserving a private, air-conditioned bungalow or a Sanctuary Bungalow (some are adults-only). These brightly colored retreats offer shaded seating, often with stunning ocean views, and provide a luxurious escape just steps from the beach.
Tip: Bungalows and Sanctuary access are limited and tend to sell out quickly, so it's highly recommended to pre-reserve them online or via your ship's app as soon as they become available.
