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.

Stress-free vacation!

What a relief it was to have Susan ready to handle problems when there was a threat of an airline strike while I was on vacation. One of the many benefits of a great travel agent! I appreciated Susan’s research, status updates and responsive communication. I knew that if my flight was affected by a strike that she would have my back, which enabled me to have a great, stress-free vacation. Always the goal!
