Two weeks ago I told you that one of my favorite types of travel is cruising. This is the second of a three-part post about Disney Cruise Line, focusing on Cast Away Cay. You can read the first part here.
Speaking of the beach..
Cast Away Cay is Disney’s private island. It is a part of the Islands of the Bahamas. There is both a family beach and an adult only side of the island, called Serenity Bay (here’s a link to the map of the beach on the Disney Cruise Blog website). Most Disney cruises that depart for the East Coast of the United States have at least 1 stop at Cast Away Cay. There is a lot to do on Cast Away Cay from bike rentals to Parasailing. Lunch for that day is also served on the island and the kids clubs take place on the island for that day.
Just like on the ship, there is no shortage of available options for adult travelers.
At Cast Away Cay, Serenity Bay is a short tram ride from the ship. It is exclusively for adults. And I don’t mean it’s exclusively for adults like a PG-13 movie is- children can only come in if they are accompanied by an adult. It is an adult beach in that only adults are allowed. Serenity Bay is actually at the very end of the island. There is a barrier on either side of the beach, so it is it’s own separate area from the family beach area.
As I said before, there are spa cabanas where you can have an ocean side massage or facial. There are also waiters who come along on the beach where you can order cocktails.
But I would have to say that my favorite experience at Serenity Bay was when we rented a cabana for my sister’s 30th birthday. We had the cabana to ourselves for the entire day!
It was stocked with drinks and snacks, and if you wanted a cocktail there was an attendant who you could call from the cabana to bring you an icy beverage. The cabanas are well equipped and have a number of lounge chairs, and there’s also a hammock and a few floats included. I may have dozed off a bit while laying on one of the lounge chairs during our time at the cabana. 😉 There is a bike trail that right behind Serenity Bay Beach.
Here are a couple of other things adult cruises can take part in at Castaway Cay:
- Parasailing
- Cast Away 5k fun run
- Adult only snorkeling adventure
- Walking and Nature Kayak Adventure (ages 10 and up)
- Adult only Water craft ski adventure

That’s just a few of the ways that adult cruisers can experience Disney’s Cast Away Cay. Next week I’ll highlight the Adult only dining options on the ship.
