Royal Caribbean's first-ever private beach club is one step closer to welcoming guests.
On Friday, December 12, the cruise line assembled a giant 43-foot Crown & Anchor logo at the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island.
It's one of the — if not the largest — physical Crown & Anchor symbols in existence.
"To put that in perspective, the Crown and Anchor on the side of the Star of the Seas is about 37-38 feet," said Jay Schneider, Royal Caribbean Group Chief Product Innovation Officer, during the 2025 President's Cruise.
That makes the structure in Nassau roughly 5-6 feet larger than the logo on one of the world's largest cruise ships.
The assembly was livestreamed by PTZtv on the Port Nassau webcam, with all images in this blog courtesy of PTZtv.
The massive, blocky components were lifted via crane and put into place piece by piece, almost like a gigantic LEGO set.
Based on the webcam footage, it appears that the logo will be on the inward-facing side of Paradise Island, giving all cruise guests, Royal Caribbean or not, a clear view of the massive emblem as their ships sail into Nassau.
The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is set to officially open on December 23, 2025, with guests on Utopia and Radiance of the Seas among the first to experience the cruise line's first beach club destination.
Unlike Perfect Day at CocoCay, admission isn't included in your cruise fare. Rather, it's more akin to traditional shore excursions, with day passes available for purchase through the Cruise Planner or at the shore excursion kiosks on board.
There are different types of passes, with the most expensive starting at around $169.99/person and including everything from unlimited alcoholic beverages to lounge chairs and umbrellas, all-day dining, Wi-Fi, and more.
As it stands, Royal Caribbean has two more beach clubs in the works: Royal Beach Club Cozumel and Royal Beach Club Santorini.
Royal Caribbean also shared a short 17-second reel of the structure's construction
The time-lapse video starts with the construction crew building the center of the anchor before expanding outward.
A strong, core structure allowed the team to build the surrounding elements that give the logo its recognizable shape, with the crown's middle prong being the last piece added.
The final few seconds of the clip show the sheer scale of the Crown & Anchor installation at the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island.
The logo dwarfs everything from the two-story Party Cove to the restaurant shacks and the construction equipment below as the team works to get the finishing touches in place before the club’s grand opening.
Other construction updates
There are just ten days to go before paying guests are welcomed to the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island for the first time.
This leaves little room for delay as everything must be fully operational by Dec. 23.
While recent photos show that the beach club is coming together, there's still a lot of work to be done to ensure the destination is guest-ready.
From afar, the colorful beach club is really taking shape. However, construction debris must be cleared, furniture arranged, and landscaping finished in under two weeks.
