Creator's Key Takeaways

Half Moon K is a paradise and it certainly ranks as one of the best destinations we have ever visited on a cruise

Half Moon K is about as close as you can get to an island feeling remote and isolated from The Real World

it doesn't get much better than this which is why we immediately went and booked a two-week cruise on New Amsterdam for 2024

the powder soft white sand beach that stretches for more than 2.5 miles it's certainly nicer than some of the beaches found on other private islands

Creator's Tips & Advice

Inquire about spa services as soon as you get on board because they get booked up quickly
Bring your key card for payments on the island as there is no internet connection

YouTube Video Description

This is Half Moon Cay - Holland America Line’s very own private island in the Bahamas. Half Moon Cay was formally known as Little San Salvador island, situated west of Cat Island - and approximately 277 miles southeast of Miami. Half Moon Cay is only visited by Carnival Corp & PLC vessels - but most-frequently visited by Holland America cruise ships as you would expect. Half Moon Cay is a paradise - you can swim with stingrays, go snorkelling, take a hike, do some shopping, ride horses through the sea or just take it easy laying on the beach, and looking at the incredible views that this island provides. You’ll also discover incredible food on this island, whether it be the inclusive food served at the Food Pavilion - or the mouthwatering menu at the Lobster Shack. *This video is proudly Sponsored by Holland America Line. We were kindly asked to create a video showcasing the very best that Half Moon Cay has to offer, and give our honest opinion within the video. This sponsorship has not influenced our opinions. Half Moon Cay is a paradise island, and we would like all of our viewers to experience it at some point in the future. We would never recommend a cruise line or destination we didn’t have genuine belief or affection for. Thank you to Holland America for allowing us to use some of their B-roll in the making of this video. #hollandamerica #hollandamericaline #cruiseship #cruise #halfmooncay #bahamas Please Subscribe to Sail Away Magazine!
