What Is Great Stirrup Cay?
Located in the Berry Islands, a chain of islands in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay is one of Norwegian's most sought-after private-island escapes. As one of the first ventures of its kind in the cruise industry, Norwegian purchased the island in the 1970s and spared no expense developing the more than 250-acre piece of paradise into the ultimate vacation destination.
On top of that, the cruise line recently invested about $250 million to renovate, expand, and enhance the island's amenities, including the addition of a private lagoon and villas. With no permanent residents on the island or any other cruise lines allowed to dock at the island, Great Stirrup Cay offers a one-of-a-kind, exclusive experience designed with you in mind.
