Great Stirrup Cay

Great Stirrup Cay is a small island that is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Norwegian Cruise Line purchased the island from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and developed it into a private island for their cruise ship passengers. The northern part of the island has a sandy beach surrounded by rocks with snorkeling areas. The southern part features a helicopter airfield (with a sign reading "Great Stirrup Cay International Airport"), a large area without vegetation, and numerous concrete blocks. These are all remnants of a previous U.S. military installation and satellite tracking station. The island's lighthouse was originally constructed in 1863 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service.

Great Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Little Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island.

Such a beautiful resort! It was everything our group (2 children - aged 7 and 10) wanted. The food was amazing, as was the pool area, water park, lazy river. Some very minor incidents but not worth complaining about. We did the illuminated water tour, and it was spectacular. Not a large beach area, but we spent 90% of our time by the pool. The transfers was on time and the drivers were great! Very clean and rooms were addressed...
