About Labadee

Labadee is Royal Caribbean's private peninsula on the north coast of Haiti — a secluded resort enclave used exclusively by its ships. It's an all-day beach playground: calm swimming coves, an over-water zip line, a hillside roller-coaster, kayaks and floating mats, and a barbecue lunch included with your cruise. Because it's private, everything runs on your SeaPass card and the day is as relaxed or as active as you make it.

This is a private island destination owned by Royal Caribbean — exclusively accessible to Royal Caribbean cruise guests.

Insider Tip

Loungers fill up fast, so head off the ship early and stake out a spot at a quieter cove like Columbus Cove. Lunch is included — don't pay for food — but the coaster and zip line are worth pre-booking online if you want them.
