Royal Caribbean Labadee Jet Ski Shoreside Activities
Explore The Unique World Of Labadee, a Royal Caribbean Private Resort
A passenger favorite for years, the private resort of Labadee, owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, has recently undergone a makeover, featuring new enhancements for guests to enjoy and the addition of seven brand new neighborhoods to explore.
Enhancements: Making the Most of What Labadee Has To Offer
New Pier: Previously, guests arriving at Labadee had to take a ferry from the cruise ship to the shoreline but now, thanks to the new enhancements, that practice is a thing of the past. Now the new pier extends out more than 1200 feet into the bay, deep enough so that passengers can disembark directly onto the pier. This will give guests that much more time to fully enjoy the private beaches of Labadee, and to explore to their heart’s content.
Dragon Tail Rollercoaster: There are some spectacular views to be had all around Labadee but none is as exhilarating as the view from this brand new rollercoaster attraction. Rising up from the beach nearLookoutMountain atSanta Maria, you climb 680 feet over the mountain, and then plunge back down at 30 plus miles per hour. With 360 degree curves, dips, waves and turns, you will glimpse the sparkling blue of the ocean as you fly about, as well as the spacious skies above the alpine style coaster. This is one ride you will remember for a long time to come.
Spa Cabanas: Guests can now take in a relaxing massage at the end of the day, courtesy of new cabanas built upon the limestone cliffs overlooking the bay. Featuring the latest in massage techniques, you can watch the sun set as every muscle is coaxed into a relaxing state of bliss by our experienced masseurs.
Dragon’s Lookout: Located at the west end of Labadee, this authentic replication of a historic coastal fort is not only amazing to look at, it also serves as the perfect venue for parties, weddings or any other special event that guests may wish to showcase during their stay.
Artisans Village: More than 70 shops are here for you to explore, each one with their own unique style of art, from paintings to sculptures to wood carvings. Styled as an authentic Haitian marketplace, you will find native art, linens, jewelry, and all kinds of souvenirs available to remember your stay with us. Be sure to sample the local vintages, as well, especially the rum!
Nature Trails: Miles of natural terrain has been reserved for guests to enjoy during their stay. You can now hike through miles of rolling hills, view spectacular rock formations and take in the wonder of one of the last remaining rain forests in the world.
Amphitheater: While staying in Labadee, it would be a crime if you were to miss any sample of the native culture. In the newly constructed village amphitheater, you will be able to experience Haitian culture through dance and song, located just off the town square.
