Royal Caribbean has officially opened the first of its proposed collection of private islands, the $250 million Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas.

Royal Caribbean has shut CocoCay until 4 September

CocoCay features what Royal claims to be the tallest waterslide in North America, Daredevil Peak, a “helium pool” capable of hovering 450-feet above the island, and the Bahamas’ first overwater cabanas.


Other boasts, says Royal, include the Caribbean’s larges wave pool, its largest freshwater pool, Oasis Lagoon, and a 1,600-foot zip-line traversing the island.


Michael Bayley, president and chief executive Royal Caribbean International, said its Perfect Day island offering would “push the envelope” in the same way the line has with ship design and at sea experiences.
