Great Stirrup Cay

Great Stirrup Cay sets itself apart as Norwegian Cruise Line’s private Bahamian haven, a 250-acre island that transforms a port call into a full day of island-grade experiences. Located about 50 miles from Nassau, it offers a curated mix of action and leisure, from water sports and a spirited water slide to ping-pong and beach volleyball that keep pace with every guest’s energy. On shore, the Jumbey Beach Grill serves beachside barbecues that let guests savor sun, sand, and sizzling flavors without leaving the island, while the Berried Treasure Bazaar invites treasure hunters of all ages to bring a little Bahamian charm home. What makes it truly distinctive is how it blends a private-island vibe with the convenience and consistency of an NCL day—fleet features and onboard services translate shipboard comfort to shore, with easy port access, shaded lounging, clean facilities, and attentive assistance that helps families, groups, and solo travelers make the most of their island time. In short, Great Stirrup Cay is not just a port of call; it’s a purpose-built escape that feels intimate yet expansive, a signature stop that highlights the Bahamas’ natural beauty while delivering NCL’s renowned hospitality, cuisine, and service.
