Royal Caribbean will open in December 2025 its first-ever Royal Beach Club Paradise Island – a 17-acre beach club in Nassau, offering a combination of beaches, pools, restaurants, bars, and cultural experiences. Access will be provided through a new fleet of five colorful ferries, operated by the local company Bahamas Transport Logistics.
With the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island project, the company aims to set a new standard for cruise destinations – sustainable development, authentic connection with the local community, and a premium experience for travelers. From the moment guests board the ferry, their journey begins toward a modern resort where the Bahamian spirit meets Royal Caribbean’s high standards.
A new fleet for beach transfers
Five colorful ferries will transport guests from Nassau to the beach club. Each one will have a name and color inspired by the local nature: Flirty Flamingo (pink), Sassy Starfish (blue), Coral Calypso (orange), Twisted Turtle (green), and Lucky Lizard (turquoise). Built with aluminum hulls and equipped with advanced navigation systems, they ensure fast and safe transfers. The fleet will be operated by Bahamas Transport Logistics (BTL) – a 100% Bahamian-owned company with extensive experience in marine transportation.
What Royal Beach Club Paradise Island offers
On its 17 acres, the club will combine beaches, pools, and a variety of amenities:
- Two beach areas and three pools – from the tranquil Chill Beach to the lively The Deep End pool
- The Floating Flamingo – the world’s largest swim-up bar
- Private cabanas, including the Ultimate Family Cabana with jacuzzi, slide, and personal service
- Multiple restaurants and bars featuring Bahamian cuisine and drinks
- Entertainment programs and beach activities
Royal Caribbean places strong emphasis on sustainability and community integration. Three Bahamian leaders have already been appointed to key positions, and the ferry fleet will be fully managed by Bahamas Transport Logistics. The project is designed as a public-private partnership, aiming not only to provide a new tourist product but also to contribute to the economy of The Bahamas.
