Great Stirrup Cay Private island

Great Stirrup Cay is a Private Island in the Berry Islands, located in the Bahamas, that belongs to Norwegian Cruise Lines. Norwegian takes their cruise ships here, so their visitors can relish a day at the sandy seashore, and relax.

Norwegian Cruise Lines bought this isle from Belcher Oil Company, in 1977. Norwegian became the first cruise line to have a personal isle of their very own.

The island sits 120 nautical miles east of Fort Lauderdale, FL. It's a little paradise that every individual can enjoy.

Great Stirrup Cay is a dwelling for fish, seagulls, and lizards, and a few very fortunate visitors of NCL. Here you can snooze in a hammock under a shady palm tree, or discover a tranquil cove while snorkeling. You can play limbo, and relish a beachfront barbecue. This is the life on NCL's Great Stirrup Cay.

Norwegian Cruise Lines uses tendering boats to get their passengers from the ship to the island. Once on the island, you can do the following:

RELAX AT THE BEACH in a lounger, and take in the view of the attractive azure waters.

LAY IN A HAMMOCK between two palm trees. Take in the beauty of the environment, and sunshine while you can, because it might be awhile before you'll be able to do something like this again.

VISIT THE LIGHTHOUSE. Great Stirrup Cay has a trail that directs you to a lighthouse, and it's a pleasant stroll to be able to visit a part of history. Plus, it's good workout to misplace some pounds from all that consuming of food that you most likely did on the ship throughout your cruise.

You can book a shore excursion from the cruise line for snorkeling, or parasailing.

The cruise line presents you with a buffet midday, serving food, so you can consume as much as you want.
