Escape to The Great Life at Norwegian's Private Island: Great Stirrup Cay
There’s something different about you out here. Perhaps because out here is really different. Not sure if it’s the sun, or the water, or the just-opened 28,000-square-foot pool. But you’re quicker to smile, quicker to laugh.
You exhale more.
It’s not just about cruising to your very own private island. It’s about unlocking a new state of mind.
It’s hearing the roar of jet skis and feeling a gentle breeze through your cabana, then saying to yourself “ahhhhhh!” It's shouting at the top of your lungs as you zipline across 1,600 feet of open water. And it's gazing onto white sand beaches all afternoon because, out here, deciding what to do (or not to do) next is simply effortless.

So, What’s New (Other Than This New Side of You)?
Oh, so many things. From the moment your ship docks at Great Stirrup Cay’s brand-new, state-of-the-art pier, the possibilities start to unfold.
Grab your beach bag, dab on some sunscreen, and get ready to explore.
Great Life Lagoon
A heated pool the size of ten blue whales? Yeah, that’s different. And it’s out here, waiting for you to swim up to one of the oceanfront bars and order a drink that tastes a little bit like freedom.
Rent a cabana. Claim a plush lounge chair. And sip back and relax. After all, a vacation shouldn’t be about keeping track of time.
Splash Harbor
Little ones can splash and play in our brand new, magical water zone, just steps from the pool. (Are those giggles theirs, or yours?) Out here, memories make themselves.
Vibe Shore Club
Feel free to claim your private slice of paradise. The exclusive, adults-only Vibe Shore Club (18+) offers sink-into-a-whole-new-level-of-relaxation spaces to lounge, a curated beach playlist and breathtaking views in every direction. Sip premium cocktails at the private bar and snack on refreshing fruit skewers, cookies or a scoop of ice cream. Unwinding just got an upgrade.
What’s on The Horizon?
Expect even more island expansion the summer of 2026, including Great Tides Waterpark. Get ready for high-speed slides, cliff jumps, a meandering river ride, a glowing grotto bar and more!
Breathe in. Breathe out. The Bahamas is calling. Answer.
And Don't Forget the Classics...
Relax at Silver Cove
Rent a private villa or cabana at Silver Cove to take your beach lounging up a notch. The air conditioning will help you beat the heat (in case the ocean wasn’t enough).
Enjoy complimentary on-demand movies and access to a lush private beach that’s yours to stroll.
Three Ziplines. But Who’s Counting?
You can choose to do nothing at all. Or to make adrenaline your whole itinerary. Each zipline is about an hour long, so you can fit one or all of them into your schedule. The first zip in the Osprey zipline is 120 feet above ground (just, wow!).
The Seahawk takes you across 1,600 feet of open water, giving you a bird’s eye view of Great Stirrup Cay’s breathtaking coast. The Island Zipline Adventure combines both to create six thrilling zips that challenge your mind, body and soul. So, go ahead. Make your wildest screams come true.
Ride The Waves
Want that sea-salt-and-wind-in-your-face feeling? Take a 45-minute wave runner tour of the Berry Islands. (Don’t miss Great Stirrup Cay’s iconic lighthouse!)
If you’re in the mood for something a tad more relaxed, rent a kayak or a paddleboard for a couple of hours and tackle the turquoise seas at your own pace.
Grab a Bite and Get a Drink
Grab a burger and a beer at Jumbey Beach Grill or catch a quick bite at Tropic it Like it's Hot, our food truck.
If you're ready for a cocktail, taste the island vibes with a freshly muddled mojito at one of our three fully stocked beach bars.
Out here, cravings don’t stand a chance.
