Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas, has long been a beloved destination for cruise passengers seeking sun, sand, and relaxation. But things are about to get even better this winter. Norwegian Cruise Line is unveiling a range of exciting upgrades to this 268-acre tropical paradise, promising new experiences that will redefine island getaways. From a brand-new pool area to improved amenities and entertainment, here’s everything you can look forward to when this exciting renovation to Great Stirrup Cay is complete.

The highlight of Norwegian’s private island’s makeover is undoubtedly the expansive new pool area, complete with its dedicated bar. This 28,000 square foot resort-style heated pool will offer a tranquil sanctuary where you can cool off under the warm Bahamian sun or sip on refreshing cocktails from the nearby bar.

Traveling with family? Great Stirrup Cay will now cater to younger guests with a brand-new kids’ splash zone. This bright and colorful area will feature water fountains and interactive play features designed to keep kids entertained for hours. Parents can relax knowing their kids are having a blast in a safe, family-friendly environment.

One of the standout additions is the introduction of a new Vibe Beach Club, an adults-only haven that’s also found on Norwegian’s ships. With private cabanas, chic loungers, and elevated amenities, this exclusive lounge is all about indulgence and relaxation. If you’re seeking something more active, you can head to Horizon Park, a new recreational area that will feature lawn-style games and gathering spaces. This versatile area will be perfect for fun group activities or simply enjoying a laid-back afternoon.
