Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay

Norwegian Cruise Line is unveiling an all-new Great Stirrup Cay, featuring a 28,000-square-foot lagoon, a massive waterpark, new dining venues, and private luxury retreats. The transformed Bahamian island experience begins winter 2025.

Norwegian Cruise Line is redefining paradise with a bold new vision for its private island in The Bahamas Great Stirrup Cay. Coming soon, this reimagined retreat promises bigger thrills, deeper relaxation, and more ways to experience “The Great Life.” From an all-new 28,000-square-foot lagoon pool and towering water slides to a vibrant new welcome plaza, Great Stirrup Cay is transforming into a next-level island escape exclusively for NCL guests.

Guests will soon be able to dive into adventure at the massive Great Tides Waterpark, drift through the Great Life Lagoon, or unwind at Vibe Shore Club, a private adults-only enclave opening in early 2026. Those craving luxury can retreat to Silver Cove, where private villas with air conditioning, oceanfront patios, and spa access redefine the island experience. Add jet kart rides, ziplining, beachside dining, and NCL’s signature hospitality, and you’ve got an all-new definition of island perfection.

This evolution of Great Stirrup Cay is the latest example of how Norwegian Cruise Line continues to raise the bar for destination experiences. The Great Life is calling, and it’s about to get even greater. Contact us today to learn more and start planning your next NCL cruise to paradise.
