Royal Caribbean searches for private Australian island

Royal Caribbean has revealed new details and updates on its private islands. And the line is still looking at a secret cruise destination in Australia.

While Royal Caribbean is preparing for the launch of Perfect Day at CocoCay, which is part of the line’s new Perfect Day Island Collection, the line also said it is looking for islands in Asia as well as elsewhere in the Caribbean.

According to president Michael Bayley, the line is currently in the process of acquiring land for additional Perfect Day private islands.

My Bayley said at a Travel Weekly Executive Lunch, “”We have been busy acquiring land around the world and each one will have a slightly different concept, depending on what each market’s idea of a perfect day is.”

It has not yet been revealed which Australian island may be developed into a private island for Royal Caribbean — the article simply says it is “one off the coast of Australia”.

CocoCay is scheduled to re-open in May and there will be some exciting new features like the Oasis Lagoon, the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, a geyser, a water play area with slides called Captain Jack’s Galleon as well as the Splashaway Bay aquapark.
