- MSC Group has unveiled plans for a new private island destination in the Bahamas, named Sandy Cay, for its cruise line guests.
- Sandy Cay, described as a "luxury private destination" formed from a natural sandbank, will offer a more secluded experience compared to their existing island.
- The new island will be accessible to passengers on Caribbean sailings with MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys.
- MSC's current private island, Ocean Cay, which opened in 2019, has recently received updates including new dining, family games, adult-only beaches, and an augmented reality marine conservation programme.
- This development aligns with a trend among other major cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and Disney, which also operate their own exclusive private islands.
