It may not surprise you that the Caribbean reigns supreme as the most popular cruise region in the world. However, you may not be aware that some of the highest-rated ports of call visited by these sailings are exclusive private islands and destinations operated by the cruise lines.

These unique retreats offer pristine beaches lined with hammocks and chairs for lounging, and many also offer furnished villas or overwater cabanas for rent. You'll find a variety of water sports and recreation like snorkeling, kayaking, ziplining, horseback riding through the surf, bicycling tours, nature walks and towering waterslides.

Here you can read about the highlights of nine private islands and destinations visited by Caribbean cruises, plus the best deals to those ports. All but one of these idyllic getaways are located in the Bahamas.

Many Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries include Perfect Day at CocoCay, a private island reserved for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity guests. Attractions here include the region's largest freshwater pool, a 1,600-foot-long zipline course, 9 dining venues and a floating bar. Thrill Waterpark at CocoCay hosts more than a dozen waterslides, including Daredevil's Peak, the tallest waterslide in the Caribbean. The Up, Up and Away helium balloon ride lifts guests 450 feet in the air for amazing views. Beach chairs and umbrellas await you along stretches of beautiful sand and crystal-clear water, and kayaks and snorkeling gear are available for rent. Overwater cabanas accommodate up to eight people and include a two-person hammock, a minibar and your own slide into the sea.
