Nestled in the heart of the Bahamas, Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay, is more than just a stop on the itinerary—it’s an all-inclusive island oasis designed exclusively for NCL guests. Whether you're looking to relax in luxury, thrill your adventurous side, or enjoy unforgettable moments with family, Great Stirrup Cay delivers an experience that feels like a hidden gem in the Caribbean.

Unmatched Convenience Meets Exclusive Access
As part of many Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries, Great Stirrup Cay offers seamless fun right from the ship. The best part? NCL’s More at Sea beverage package extends ashore, so your island cocktail is just as included as it would be onboard at pool bar. Plus, enjoy complimentary dining options on the island—no wallet required. Got hungry? Craft your own delicious tacos at the complimentary Abaco Taco and pair it with a refreshing margarita from the Patron Bar, all included with your More at Sea™

Endless Ways to Play
From tranquil relaxation to bucket-list adventure, this 270-acre paradise offers something for every traveler. The white-sand beaches with turquoise waters or a 33,000 square foot pool with swim-up bar make for the perfect setting to sit back and unwind. Float in turquoise waters, explore the island’s marine life with a guided snorkeling tour, or glide along the coastline in a kayak. For the truly adventurous, soar above the island on a 400-foot-long zipline or snap photos on the overwater swings—perfect for both memories and Instagram.

One of the island’s most memorable and family-favorite attractions? Swimming with the pigs—an unforgettable and joyful experience sure to be the highlight of any vacation.

Escape to Silver Cove
For a more exclusive retreat, upgrade your experience at Silver Cove—Norwegian’s ultra-luxurious enclave within Great Stirrup Cay. Here, guests can enjoy access to a private beach or lagoon, exclusive restaurant, and a serene spa experience by Mandara Spa. Spacious, air-conditioned villas (many with one or two bedrooms) come with full amenities, lounge areas, and personal service, making it ideal for families or couples looking for elevated privacy.

Whether you’re sailing on a 3-day escape or a 7-day island-hopping adventure, Norwegian offers a variety of itineraries from Miami and Orlando that feature Great Stirrup Cay. With recent price drops on select Caribbean cruises, there’s never been a better time to book.

Families will love the kids’ beach zones and laid-back vibe, while couples can soak in the romance of the island’s secluded corners. And thanks to NCL’s Kids Sail Free and other More At Sea™ perks, the value is as impressive as the views.
