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.

Portugal Fly, Drive & Stay

We appreciated all your communication concerning options as you were planning our trip. We would not have thought of flying into Lisbon and out of Faro…that was a great suggestion. Everything ran like clockwork and was perfectly organized. The final travel itinerary was fantastic with lots of suggestions for sights to see, tours and restaurants. It was a stress-free, totally enjoyable holiday…be happy to use your services again and recommend you to our friends and family. Thank you!!
