MSC Cruises has revealed the range of activities that will be on offer for cruise tourists at its new private island in the Caribbean, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

As the name suggests, the island destination will have a more ecological approach than some of the other cruise islands in the region, with activities focused around enjoying nature.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve has been developed by the cruise line in the Bahamas and was a barren wasteland when it first purchased it. The island’s local ecosystem had been destroyed by years of sand extraction.

Now it has been rehabilitated and brought back to life.

It will boast an iconic lighthouse, a great lagoon beach, several distinct beaches, and at least nine activities to offer when it opens in November this year.
