With Norwegian Cruise Line, travelers have more opportunities to experience Great Stirrup Cay—NCL’s private island in The Bahamas—on a wide range of Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries. Exclusive to Norwegian guests, the island delivers an easy, resort‑style escape with beaches, pools, and exciting new enhancements debuting this summer, making it simple to book a cruise that includes one of the most rewarding private island experiences at sea. 

Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island in The Bahamas, offering guests a seamless extension of their onboard experience in a destination designed exclusively for NCL travelers. With Free At Sea® benefits carrying ashore—such as unlimited open bar—guests can relax without extra planning or added costs while enjoying spacious beaches, snorkeling spots, and multiple activity zones. Recently enhanced with the resort‑style Great Life Lagoon pool, a dramatic cliff bar overlooking turquoise waters, and new family splash areas, the island continues its transformation this summer with the highly anticipated Great Tides Waterpark, featuring towering slides, a dynamic river for laid‑back floating and playful fun, and an even more immersive, resort‑style experience that blends adventure, relaxation, and the freedom to enjoy paradise your way.

Norwegian Luna is Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship sailing to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, thoughtfully designed with families at the heart of the experience. Now sailing to the Caribbean through November this year, and returning again in Q4 next year (October, November, and December), Luna delivers sun‑soaked escapes paired with unforgettable onboard experiences. Families can race down the Aqua Slidecoaster—home to the longest and fastest slides at sea—or spend quality time together at the all‑new Luna Midway, an amusement park‑style outdoor space filled with interactive games and activities. Itineraries also include visits to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island paradise, where pristine beaches and laid‑back island vibes await. From exciting days onboard to memorable moments ashore, Norwegian Luna makes it easy for guests of all ages to experience the best of the Caribbean together.
