MSC Cruises announced an expansion of entertainment activities at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, its private island destination in The Bahamas, beginning January 2026, with offerings rolling out in phases over subsequent months.
The new experiences will include wellness and sports programming, an augmented reality treasure hunt and a LEGO pop-up activation. Two professional coaches from MSC Cruises' ships will lead daily wellness and sports programs at Ocean Cay. Activities will include a fire and ice challenge with hot yoga and ice baths, as well as sunrise yoga with sound healing meditation. Functional training sessions will also be on offer.
The cruise line will also introduce an augmented reality (AR) treasure hunt designed for all ages that focuses on marine conservation education. Guests can use mobile devices or tablets to uncover locations throughout the island via interactive storytelling. The app will direct players to wooden sculptures around Ocean Cay that can be scanned to trigger the AR functions. Each location focuses on a specific ecological challenge and the measures MSC Cruises is taking to address it. Children can learn about species native to the island such as fish, flora and fauna.
A LEGO pop-up will be located at the Welcome Pavilion, featuring seven LEGO mascots and MSC Cruises mascot Doremi. The activation provides an interactive experience for children and families.
Ocean Cay is a former industrial site that now features eight beaches where guests can explore tranquil waters and visit the island's Marine Conservation Center to learn about the MSC Foundation's coral conservation efforts. Select itineraries include late-night and overnight stays at the island.
The new activities will complement existing offerings on the island, including snorkeling, paddleboarding and jet skiing.
