Bahamian private island destination Blue Lagoon Island has resumed excursions from Nassau—calling Carnival Cruise Line,
Holland America Line, MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line, the company
announced.
Surrounded by clear blue waters, the private island features
white-sand beaches, lunch and tropical drink options, beachside bars, craft shops
and opportunities to interact with marine animals.
Blue Lagoon Island “has further enhanced its safety
policies, procedures, and staff training and certifications, which exceed
industry standards,” said officials. The reopening follows a pause in
operations after the November 2023 sinking of a transfer vessel ferrying more
than 100 passengers from Nassau to the private island, which killed one passenger.
“We are pleased to welcome our cruise partners back to
Blue Lagoon Island,” said Robert Meister, managing director. “Cruise visitors
to Nassau will have the opportunity to enjoy our private beaches and calm
lagoon, adding an unforgettable experience to their itinerary and creating
lasting memories.”
In addition to family-friendly and
kids-free areas and activities, Blue Lagoon Island also provides training to
and collaborates with local, regional, and international organizations and
schools regarding marine education, nature conservancy, marine conservation
programs and beach, waterway, and ocean cleanup initiatives, officials said.
