Private Cabanas

Introducing Private Cabanas: A new revenue stream, beyond the ship

On today’s cruises, premium isn’t limited to suites and specialty dining. Guests are willing to pay for space, privacy, and exclusivity, even off the ship. Now, you can monetize exactly that. Private Cabanas are bookable private spaces located on a private island and offered through Plusgrade’s dynamic bidding platform. It’s a simple, high-impact way to unlock new ancillary revenue from existing high-demand inventory.

The opportunity: high demand, low friction

Private Cabanas offer a premium shoreside experience—think secluded seating, personalized service, and direct beach access. Guests looking for privacy and comfort are already eager to pay for the upgrade.

Why it works

1. Premium real estate, already available
Many itineraries include stops at private islands with existing cabana infrastructure. These haven’t been dynamically monetized, until now.
2. Guests want more privacy
Especially on longer sailings or luxury itineraries, passengers crave space and seclusion. Cabanas deliver both, in a memorable off-ship setting.
3. High-performing ancillary program
Private cabanas offer one of the most efficient and guest-loved ways to drive ancillary revenue—turning premium shoreside space into high-value experiences.

Small footprint, big impact

Private Cabanas require no new infrastructure, they’re simply a smarter way to monetize existing premium spaces. By filling them with guests who value them most, cruise lines unlock incremental upgrade revenue with minimal operational lift.
