MIAMI, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The private
Bahamian destination of Princess Cays has been added to the
itineraries of six different Carnival Cruise Line ships beginning
in May 2017. Carnival Cruise
Line ships are expected to make 40 calls to Princess Cays in 2017
and 98 the following year.
Located on the southern tip of the island of Eleuthera in The
Bahamas and operated by Carnival's
sister company Princess Cruises, Princess Cays is a breathtaking
tropical oasis where vacationers can relax on miles of unspoiled
white-sand beaches and swim in crystal clear waters teeming with
tropical fish. The facility includes a 40-acre complex
highlighted by an observation tower offering panoramic views of the
island, along with bars, restaurants and retail shops with local
crafts, souvenirs and artwork. A complimentary barbeque lunch
service featuring an array of delicious choices is also
offered. Princess Cays is connected by a series of paved
paths that lead to palm tree-dotted beaches where clamshells and
private bungalows are available for rent. A variety of shore
excursions – from dune buggy adventures and glass bottom boat tours
to paddle boarding, windsurfing and kayaking – are also
available.
Various operational enhancements, including the addition of
larger, more efficient tenders to facilitate getting guests ashore
quickly and comfortably, are currently underway.
Princess Cays will be featured on the following Carnival
itineraries in 2017: select seven-day cruises aboard Carnival Pride
from Baltimore; five-day voyages
aboard Carnival Ecstasy from Charleston,
S.C.; eight-day sailings on Carnival Conquest from
Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; five-day
voyages on Carnival Elation from Jacksonville, Fla.; four-day voyages aboard
Carnival Liberty from Port Canaveral, Fla.; and four-day cruises
aboard Carnival Sensation from Miami.
"At Carnival, we're always looking for new and exciting
destinations for our guests and Princess Cays is a beautiful island
paradise with gorgeous beaches and an array of 'fun-in-the-sun'
activities that our guests will really enjoy experiencing on their
vacation," said Christine
Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Princess Cays is one of several private destinations and cruise
facilities operated by Carnival Corporation. Others include
Half Moon Cay (Bahamas), Grand
Turk (Turks & Caicos), Puerta
Maya (Cozumel), Mahogany Bay (Roatan) and Amber Cove (Dominican
Republic).
