MSC Group’s Cruise Division has introduced Sandy Cay – a new luxury private island destination located adjacent to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas set to open in 2028.
Designed for MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys guests, the new island further elevates the company’s vision of delivering unique and authentic travel experiences.
Conceived to complement Ocean Cay, Sandy Cay offers a more secluded, elemental escape – inviting guests into a quieter, deeply immersive connection with the natural rhythms of the ocean and the spirit of The Bahamas.
Pristine aragonite sands – among the purest and brightest in the world – give Sandy Cay its name and its character. Located within the same crystal-clear Bahamian waters as Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Sandy Cay complements the company’s existing private island destination.
