NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Royal Caribbean is set to make a splash with the introduction of a dynamic fleet of water ferries, designed to transport visitors to the eagerly awaited Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, slated for a December 2025 opening. The five bespoke ferries, managed by Bahamas Transport Logistics (BTL), a Bahamian-owned company, will serve as the initial touchpoint for cruise passengers heading to the new beach club. These vessels are engineered to blend efficiency with local culture, featuring lightweight aluminum hulls for seamless travel and vibrant, tropical-inspired designs. Philip Simon, President of Royal Caribbean Group Bahamas, emphasized the company’s commitment to delivering an exceptional, sustainable, and authentically Bahamian experience. The ferries, each named and colored after Bahamian wildlife — Flirty Flamingo (pink), Sassy Starfish (blue), Coral Calypso (orange), Twisted Turtle (green), and Lucky Lizard (turquoise) — are equipped with advanced navigation and propulsion systems, ensuring quick turnarounds while embodying the islands’ relaxed, fun-loving spirit. BTL’s involvement highlights Royal Caribbean’s dedication to centering Bahamians in the project, with the company overseeing daily operations and maintaining international safety and service standards. The ferry fleet is part of a broader initiative to infuse Bahamian culture into every facet of the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island experience, from food and entertainment to decor and staffing. This 2025 launch will mark Royal Caribbean’s first private beach club, combining the island’s natural allure with the cruise line’s renowned hospitality. As development progresses on Paradise Island, the ferry fleet’s debut is poised to herald a uniquely Bahamian welcome for the thousands of visitors anticipated upon the project’s official opening.
