Ocean Cay

Turquoise shallows, soft sand and the lighthouse set the scene for a day that can be as unhurried as you like.

Where you arrive

The ship docks at the island’s pier. This is MSC’s island destination rather than a town port, so your day begins with a walk into the island.

Find your pace

Three ways to spend your day

01

Slow down

Choose a beach and settle into the island’s quieter rhythm.

02

Get in the water

Swim or plan a snorkelling session when sea conditions are suitable.

03

Stay for the evening

On an overnight call, check the daily programme for the lighthouse show and evening activities.

Before you head ashore

Use our detailed Ocean Cay chapter for cabana and amenity maps, island transport, accessibility and drink-package guidance. Reserve popular rentals early and confirm current inclusions on your sailing.

Your berth, tender arrangements and available excursions can vary by sailing. Check the onboard programme, keep the ship’s emergency contact with you and plan to return before the published all-aboard time.
