Royal Caribbean's first beach club will open in December and you can now make reservations.
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will open in late December 2025, and we now know how much admission will cost.
This is the first of its kind offering by the cruise line, where Royal Caribbean passengers have exclusive access to a beach that is designed to be the ultimate beach day.
Unlike Perfect Day at CocoCay or Labadee, admission costs extra. There's a limited capacity, and it's meant to be an optional choice for cruisers who want to indulge in its offering.
The earliest day passes are available to book for all Nassau stops on or after Saturday, December 27, 2025.
How much Royal Beach Club Paradise Island costs
There are multiple admission types to get you into the beach club.
Royal Caribbean offers dynamic pricing for all of the beach club admission. I found the pricing for Utopia of the Seas December 26, 2025 sailing to attempt to find exemplary prices to give a ballpark idea.
Keep in mind this is the week of Christmas and New Years and it's on a brand new ship, which means these prices are likely on the high end of the spectrum.
There are two types of day passes available, which includes purely admission into the club and access to the facilities, including chairs, umbrellas, food and drinks

The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island Refreshment Package + Thrill & Chill Combo includes:
- Royal Beach Club Day Pass

It's priced per day of the cruise, rather than a flat fee like the other options. Royal Caribbean says the price of the bundle at checkout is up to 45% less than those products added to cart individually.
Ultimate Beach Day offering
Looking over the prices, you should know that the concept is to offer the very best beach experience.
Royal Caribbean has two goals: offer an unparalleled beach experience and give passengers a high quality shore excursion choice in Nassau.
Located on 17 acres at the western end of Paradise Island in Nassau, there's a mix of party and family time.
Regardless of which zone you end up spending most of your time, expect high energy throughout the club.
Royal Caribbean did a lot of research from its customers, and they want a day with music, drinks, and a fun vibe. It's not meant to be a quiet spot, even if you're in Chill Beach.
"It's going to be one of the, I would argue, it will be the most amazing beach day in essence," said Jay Schneider, Royal Caribbean's chief product innovation officer, earlier this year when he spoke to use about the big plans.
"Chill is not quiet… It is relaxed, but there is a little bit of energy built into what our guests expect out of Chill," Schneider said.
Family Beach is designed for what Royal Caribbean calls “relaxed energy” because it's a space where families can play, swim, and unwind together without sacrificing convenience or comfort.
Second club opening in Mexico
The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is the first foray into the exclusive beach spot arena, and Royal Caribbean has plans for more.
A second club will open in Cozumel, Mexico in 2026.
Guests will find great views, access to the water, and likely something that builds upon the success and lessons of the beach club in Nassau.
Full details and a layout have not been revealed for the Cozumel beach club, but it's likely related to the fact the cruise line wants to take some feedback from the Bahamas club to then use in Mexico.
Plus, the Cozumel club has more space and a different perspective to build upon.
Both beach clubs are meant to outflank other cruise lines by offering superior shore excursions that are unrivaled.
While private islands are common among the major cruise lines, beach clubs are new and extend the highly rated ship experience to land because it's managed by Royal Caribbean.
Offering passengers high guest satisfaction choices that inherently create memories is the core DNA for these new beach clubs, which the cruise line feels will translate into more bookings and higher revenue.
