Private islands might seem like they’re a world away, but many cruise lines with private islands can easily dock their ships without the hassle of waiting for and then boarding a tender boat. Simply walk off the ship, down the dock and step onto paradise. You can even return to the ship whenever you need to in most cases.

Surely all of this is going to cost you an arm and a leg? Sure, lounging on a private island might seem like something only the rich and famous can afford, but the opposite is very much true. Generally, lunch is included, as are many of the activities, but even things like alcoholic beverages, water sports and spa treatments cost far less than you might think.

The same treatment and service you receive on your ship also extends to the cruise lines’ islands. That’s because they’re staffed by those employed or contracted by the cruise line themselves. And all that time working on the island means they’re well versed in helping guests with directions, hailing taxis and recommending other places to check out. Basically, it never feels like you’re in unknown territory.
