If you are sailing to the Bahamas with Royal Caribbean, a brand-new slice of paradise awaits. Opened in December 2025, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau brings an exclusive, all-inclusive beach day experience to cruisers and Bahamian residents alike.

Whether you want to splash with the family, dance to DJ beats at a swim-up bar, or simply soak up the sun on pristine white sands, here is everything you need to know about the Royal Beach Club.

What to Expect at Royal Beach Club

Designed exclusively for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises guests, the beach club offers an elevated shore excursion. Unlike traditional port stops, your admission here covers almost everything you need for a perfect day. The property is thoughtfully divided into three distinct neighborhoods to match your vacation vibe:

Family Beach: Perfect for all ages, featuring The Shallow End (a massive 9,000-square-foot zero-entry pool), jumbo beach games like spike ball and cornhole, and plenty of room to build sandcastles.
Chill Beach: Designed for pure relaxation. Unwind under a complimentary umbrella, take a dip in The Deep End pool, or listen to live island music.
Party Cove: The ultimate turn-up zone. This high-energy area hosts DJ sets, a lively pool, and the iconic Floating Flamingo—the world's largest swim-up bar.

All-Inclusive Dining and Drinks

You won’t go hungry or thirsty during your visit. The beach club blends local Bahamian flavors with classic beachside favorites.
Paradise Grill: Three distinct grill locations serve up complimentary, all-you-can-eat island-inspired dishes and snacks.
10 Waterfront Bars: From quick refreshment stands to lively poolside watering holes.
Unlimited Drinks: All day passes include complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. If you want to take it to the next level, the Unlimited Open Bar Day Pass covers all alcoholic drinks as well.
Sweet Treats: Cool off at the complimentary soft-serve ice cream stations available to all guests.

How to Get There

Getting to the club is seamless. Royal Caribbean operates a private fleet of five colorful water ferries (look out for fun names like the Twisted Turtle and Flirty Flamingo). The boats run continuously between the Nassau cruise pier and Paradise Island, ensuring you maximize your time in the sun.

Planning your cruise? Be sure to book your Royal Beach Club passes early via your Royal Caribbean Cruise Planner, as daily capacity is limited to keep the experience exclusive and relaxing!
