Are you ready for a tropical paradise like no other? Carnival Cruise Line and its sister brand, Holland America, are thrilled to announce the transformative renovation and expansion of their beloved private island, Half Moon Cay, now rebranded as **RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay**.

A New Era of Relaxation and Adventure

Located in the stunning Bahamas, RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay is set to become the ultimate cruise destination. Here’s what you can look forward to:

– Renovation and New Name: The island is undergoing a massive makeover, earning it a new name that reflects its enhanced offerings and commitment to relaxation[2][3][5].

– Enhanced Amenities: Get ready for more food and beverage venues, an expanded beachfront, and brand-new facilities including a beach club and updated lunch spots.

The island will feature enhanced oceanfront welcome plazas stretching over a mile, more lounging areas with additional cabanas, and a convenient new tram service to make navigating the island a breeze[2][3].

– Segmented Experiences: While the north side will be dedicated to Carnival passengers, the south side will cater to Holland America guests. Currently, both lines use the south portion, but this new segmentation will offer a more tailored experience for each[2].
