The new Beach Club at RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay.

Guests sailing on Holland America Line’s Caribbean cruises this season will find a refreshed RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, with a series of newly completed enhancements. 

The transformation marks the beginning of a yearlong celebration leading up to the destination’s 30th anniversary in 2027.

Among the most notable additions are a new food pavilion serving an island-inspired barbecue menu, and an exclusive Beach Club experience, offering guests new ways to dine and unwind ashore. 

Priced at US$125 per person for the day, the Beach Club experience includes priority tendering, dedicated waiter service, all-inclusive alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, beach accessories, and specialty food and beverage offerings.

The Beach Club also gives guests another way to enjoy the island’s food offerings, with the Lobster Shack menu available there in addition to the other menu options. Beyond the Beach Club, guests will also find the new food pavilion, upgraded cabanas, additional daybeds and beach seating, renovated bars, plus four pickleball courts. 

“Every enhancement at RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay is centred on creating an even more exceptional experience while building on everything guests already love about the island,” said Beth Bodensteiner, president of Holland America Line. 

“It’s exciting to unveil the Beach Club as we prepare to welcome our first visitors in October. These improvements reflect our commitment to invest in the guest experience, offering even more unforgettable moments in one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful destinations.”
