1977, Norwegian cruise ships leased Dammam Reef from Belcher Oil Company, and 1986 directly purchased the island, which is a private oasis island covering an area of 268 mu. Norway's sister cruise lines Oceania and Regent Seven Seas occasionally offer trips to Grand Anchorage Reef.
This is an excellent destination and port of call for Norwegian cruise ship, the owner of Barley Reef. Guests on the cruise can relax on the white sand beach, snorkel with turtles and colorful fish in the clear water, slide along the coastline by kayak, or soar in the air and cross the island by zip line.
Because the water on the shore of Damai Reef is too shallow for large ships to dock, the cruise ship bound for Damai Reef will break down far from the outlying islands.
It is necessary to transport cruise guests to the island by barge.
Travel time is about 10 minute.
Bertram Beach is the main beach where barges arrive and leave. Its name comes from Captain Allen bertram, the British naval commander buried in Dammam Reef (1790- 1834). He was the commander of the Royal Navy Tweed.
