For those seeking beautiful beaches, quaint seaside towns, and endless outdoor adventures, the Caribbean offers plenty of gorgeous destinations to choose from.
But there's nothing like private island vacations with Royal Caribbean. These VIP experiences are more affordable that you might think, starting at $209 (before port fees).
Labadee is a stunning stretch of shoreline along Haiti's beautiful northern coast.
This pristine tropical paradise is accessible only to guests sailing on Royal Caribbean. You might not hear as much about Labadee as with other Caribbean ports. That’s because this island is kept private and away from the masses. It’s truly a VIP experience.
Labadee is decked out with all the five-star comforts and amenities you expect to enjoy the ultimate beach day.
Royal Caribbean offers plenty for both thrill- and chill-seekers alike in Labadee. Here are some of the top reasons to add Labadee to your travel list.
Labadee Beaches
Labadee, Haiti, is home to five impressive stretches of shoreline.
Each is covered with fine, white sand and swaying palm trees.
On my first visit, I was amazed at how high the mountains were. I pictured the island to be flat for some reason. These mountains provide a truly wow-worthy backdrop from every angle.
You won’t see several different cruise lines show up. Since Labadee is a private destination, the only other people you'll see are locals, staff and other Royal Caribbean guests, creating a tropical atmosphere free of crowds.
UP THE ADVENTURE WITH THRILLING RIDES AND SLIDES
Labadee packs in plenty of opportunities for daredevils of all ages to chase thrills during their private island vacations. One of my favorites is the Dragon's Breath Flight Line, half a mile of exhilarating zip line over sea and jungle. Even those afraid of heights say they loved it.
And then there's its sister ride, the Dragon's Fire Flight Line, which lets you soar through the air headfirst like a superhero.
Classic Activities
In addition to the big thrills, when visiting Labadee there are many other classic outdoor experiences like parasailing, speedboats, rides and more ways to make the most of your visit.
Here's an insider tip: The island is surrounded by colorful coral reefs teeming with marine life, which makes it a great destination for snorkeling.
Whether your ideal private island vacation getaway involves total relaxation, plenty of thrilling activities and excursions, or a balanced blend of both, Labadee, Haiti, will not disappoint.
Labadee vacation packages feel exclusive and luxurious, but you won't break your budget. Once you've spent a day here, you'll see why it's considered a top-rated port among cruise guests.
