Bahamas: Great Stirrup Cay & Grand Bahama Island

from Jacksonville, Florida

Get away to paradise in the Bahamas with Norwegian. From scenic wetlands to miles of pristine beaches and trails ideal for biking and hiking, Jacksonville’s Big & Little Talbot islands are your ideal backdrop for a day of relaxation, exploration or a little of both. Journey from Freeport to Lucayan National Park to hike among the pines and mangroves, explore one of the underwater caves or recline on a secluded beach. On our private island, Great Stirrup Cay, you can unwind in a private luxury villa situated along our exclusive lagoon and indulge in a massage at Mandara Spa.
