After you see the pristine beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters, it’s no surprise that Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island... for more than 20 straight years! And now the destination has expanded with not only more tropical tranquility, but new ways to spend your paradise-time. That's why we're now calling it RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay!

Set sail on a Carnival cruise to this exclusive destination, arriving by pier or water shuttle, and from your first step onto the sand you’ll understand why it’s anything but typical. All the excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pauses for a bit, opening up your vacation to a truly effortless private island escape.

Stroll a scenic nature path or cozy up and lounge with your someone special in a daybed, a shady hideaway for two. If you’re looking for more private stretch out space, there are rental cabanas and villas too. You know, kicking back is encouraged at RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay… but against this lush backdrop there’s still so much to do. Play in turquoise seas, ride horseback along powdery white sand, or gently paddle a kayak through acres of protected lagoon, encountering silky smooth stingrays.

And because a great beach day deserves great flavors, we’ve also added new complimentary lunch spots and an expanded selection of island themed bars for sipping and unwinding in paradise.

RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay is part of the Paradise Collection by Carnival , where each cruise destination showcases a different slice of paradise, from breathtaking, white sand beaches to vibrant cultures and unforgettable excursions.
