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.

Amazing Christmas Markets with Emerald Cruises

I thoroughly enjoyed my group excursion on the Emerald Christmas Market cruise on the Danube. Danny did not forget anything. From booking our tickets, booking our flights and transportation to and from the different airports, Danny you covered everything. I can honestly say it was stress free which meant I was able to relax and enjoy! When is the next group adventure! Can’t wait.
