Royal Caribbean to debut Royal Beach Club in Antigua
Royal Caribbean International has inked a deal with the Antigua & Barbuda government for its first branded Royal Beach Club.
It follows the signing of a MoU last year.
The Royal Beach Club will be located along more than a half-mile of beachfront near Fort James, Antigua.
Work will begin later this year for an expected 2021 opening.
Amenities planned include a pool and swim-up bar, cabanas, water sports, live music, and barbecues.
"Together with the government of Antigua and Barbuda, we will bring to life an experience that will bring more visitors to these idyllic islands and create significant economic benefits," said Royal Caribbean International CEO, Michael Bayley.
The line is looking at opening the Royal Beach Club to the general public on days when ships don’t call.
Additionally, the cruise line said it is bringing Symphony of the Seas to the island with a call at St John’s in November 2020.
"The Government of Antigua and Barbuda is grateful and appreciative that Royal Caribbean’s first Royal Beach Club will be in Antigua, which confirms confidence in our twin island state," said Charles Fernandez, minister of tourism.
