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.

Mediterranean cruise, Tuscany and Venice!

MK gets ALL the stars - if it was possible to give 10 out of 5 she deserves it!! Professionally polished, vastly knowledgeable, patient, thoughtful and more organized than than I thought it was humanly possible - she provides amazing experiences with exceptional personal support and care both before the trip and during your curated adventure. Would not recommend anyone else!
