From the moment guests embark on excursions to Royal Caribbean’s new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in the Bahamas, they’ll be immersed with tropical vibes.
The cruise line has unveiled the fleet of water ferries that will transport guests to the exclusive, first-of-its-kind destination, each one in a different vibrant shade:
- Flirty Flamingo in bright pink
- Sassy Starfish in oceanic blue
- Coral Calypso in energetic orange
- Twisted Turtle in bold green
- Lucky Lizard in happy turquoise
The ferries are decorated with the iconic crown-and-anchor logo and energetic swirls to immediately set the mood when guests set off for their beach club experiences.
“We are committed to delivering an exceptional, sustainable, and authentically Bahamian experience for our guests,” said Philip Simon, President of the Royal Caribbean Group Bahamas.
“These new vessels exemplify our dedication to operational excellence and innovation, seamlessly connecting visitors with the natural beauty and lively culture of The Bahamas from ship to shore.”
The ferries will be owned and operated by Bahamas Transport Logistics (BTL), a 100% Bahamian-owned company. This emphasizes Royal Caribbean’s commitment to local benefits and involvement with Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, which has been a core value of the project from the beginning.
Each double-decker ferry is equipped with advanced navigation and propulsion to ensure smooth operation and quick turnaround times for the most efficient transport possible. This will give guests the maximum amount of time to enjoy their exclusive beach days without overcrowding or delays.
Ferries will stop at both the Chill Pier and the Family & Party Pier, so guests are brought right to their destination of choice.
Immersion in Bahamian Culture and Hospitality
Boarding one of these colorful ferries during a day in Nassau, Bahamas is just the very first step for an authentic Bahamian experience at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island.
Currently under construction on Paradise Island, just across the harbor from the Nassau cruise docks, the new 17-acre beach club will offer multiple options for cruise guests with a Chill Beach, Party Cove, and Family Beach.
Artisan huts will sell Bahamian-made goods and various eateries will offer authentic tastes of the islands, including shrimp kabobs with a guava glaze, corned beef fritters, and a tropical salad with pineapple and candied walnuts.
In Party Cove, guests can enjoy an energetic atmosphere at The Floating Flamingo, the world’s largest swim-up bar, perfect for getting one’s groove on.
