    The number one reason to look for a cruise that calls at Princess Cays<\/a> is that it\u2019s a private port, exclusively for cruisers. So, you can expect plenty of room to roam and relax. Here are 10 other reasons to love this beautiful pocket of The Bahamas<\/a>, which is found on the island of Eleuthera. (In no particular order.)<\/p>\n

    Visit Local Villages
    \n<\/strong>Eluethera\u2019s most famous hub, Harbour Island, is a bit too far to visit in a day, but there are some small villages within reach of Princess Cays that you can visit during your time in port. The main one is Rock Sound, which is Instagram-ready with beautiful beaches and colorful buildings. It\u2019s known for its pirate history and a bottomless blow hole. You can also visit the fishing village Tarpum Bay.

    Plan a getaway<\/h2>\n

    Hang on Tight
    \n<\/strong>Yes, you\u2019ve just been on a boat, but     cruise ships<\/a> offer smooth sailing. Rev up your heart rate with a Banana Boat ride. Zoom along the shoreline and prepare to get wet!<\/p>\n

    Retreat like a VIP
    \n<\/strong>Need some alone time? Princess Cays has private, air-conditioned bungalows for rent, where you can relax with your sweetheart, chill with friends, or enjoy some quality family time. Trams will whisk you off to your private retreat and back to the ship.<\/p>\n

    Beach Yourself
    \n<\/strong>The most popular pastime of all on a cruise has to be beach time, and Princess Cays does not disappoint in this department. Find your own patch of sand and enjoy. You can also rent a beach clamshell and comfy beach chair to maximize your private island time.<\/p>\n

    \"a<\/p>\n

    See the Coast
    \n<\/strong>It takes smaller vessels to get close to the coastline so you can really explore Eleuthera\u2019s picturesque coves and rocky outcrops. One-hour coastal cruise tours are available, as are glass-bottom boat cruises, if you\u2019d rather check out what\u2019s beneath<\/em> the surface.<\/p>\n
