Enhancements, new name revealed for Half Moon Cay
Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America Line have jointly revealed that Half Moon Cay will be renamed RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, as part of its new makeover.
The Bahamas private island destination will feature a new pier on the north side of the island to allow Carnival’s Excel class ships to dock for the first time.
Additionally, the north side will feature a new tram service and separate shore excursion pier, expanded lounging areas, new cabanas, two lunch venues and a variety of island-themed bars.
The existing development on the south side will include a new beach club, an updated lunch venue and other renovated facilities.
The enhancements will start to come online for guest use from summer 2026 and continue through to the end of the year.
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said: “Many of our 2026 and beyond itineraries will feature both RelaxAway and new Celebration Key, providing guests with complimentary experiences at both beach days.”
Beth Bodensteiner, HAL president added: “Holland America guests have loved Half Moon Cay since it opened as a port of call in 1997. The south side of the island, where Holland America has always visited, will remain the secluded paradise our guests are accustomed to.”
