See the full list of islands and beaches owned by cruise lines

Carnival Cruise Line financed the 20-acre Mahogany Bay Cruise Ship Port and Center which opened in 2011. As such, only cruise lines that operate under the umbrella of the Carnival Corporation & plc are allowed to dock in Mahogany Bay, including Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruise Line, Holland America Cruise Line, Costa Cruise Line, P&O Cruise Line, and more. The Mahogany Bay Cruise Center is home to numerous shops, and food-and-drink venues; it is also the meeting point for shore excursions and the access point (on foot via a bridge or via a fee-based chairlift) to the adjacent island where Mahogany Beach is located.

Cruise travelers who want to relax on the white sand of Mahogany Beach can enjoy complimentary beach loungers and mats, and can rent watersport equipment, and air-conditioned, beachfront cabanas that are fully furnished with all the beach essentials. Roatán shore excursions are available through cruise lines, including horseback riding, snorkeling, sailing, wildlife-watching tours, and more.
