CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's exclusive "Out Island" playground in the Bahamas. You come here to get away from it all, enjoy your time in the sun, and have some fun to boot.

Your ship will lay anchor off CocoCay, and you'll take a tender to the island's tender docks. From there, it's a short and easy walk to the main beach areas.
