Catholics Take on Half Moon Cay: Our Final Port Stop on the Good News Cruise

Catholic Cruise Experiences on Half Moon Cay

Half Moon Cay will be our final stop on the 2027 Good News Cruise! If you choose to step ashore, you'll discover opportunities for both relaxation and adventure. Soft white sand, turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life await—experience the beauty of the Lord's creations on one of the most beautiful private beaches in the world!

Horseback Riding

Experience horseback riding like never before as you mosey along the breathtaking shoreline of Half Moon Cay; and for a memory you’ll never forget, venture into the crystal-clear waters on horseback for a truly ethereal island experience.

Lagoon Tours

Explore the beauty of Half Moon Cay from the water. Paddle through the Bonefish Lagoon by kayak or enjoy a more leisurely excursion aboard a glass-bottom boat, where you can view the colorful ocean world living beneath the surface.

Snorkeling

Discover the island’s underwater wonders on a guided snorkeling excursion, or bring your own equipment and explore at your own pace. Crystal-clear waters and sea life make this a favorite activity for many visitors to the Cay. 

Bike Rentals

Explore the beauty of the island by bike as you ride along scenic natural trails shaded by lush mangrove trees. It’s an engaging, active way to experience the island’s stunning landscapes and enjoy the fresh air while discovering its natural beauty at your own pace. 

Island Chapel

Bring your Catholic faith from the cruise to the cay at the Little Bahamian Chapel! Just a short walk from the main beach, this sweet retreat offers a quiet place for prayer, reflection, and time with the Lord beneath the palm trees.

Private Cabanas

Unwind in comfort with a private cabana, available for rent during your time on the island. Relax in the shade, enjoy food and beverages delivered directly to you, and take in the soothing sounds of the waves and ocean breeze.

Booking Your Excursion

For many of these opportunities, booking ahead of time is the best way to secure your excursion experience! Download the Holland America Navigator app prior to departure to schedule your island adventure—or visit the Shore Excursion Office aboard the Eurodam ship to book while we sail! 

It’s easy to feel the presence of the Lord when you're among the beauty of Half Moon Cay—a true reminder of His awesome creations!
