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.

Our Honeymoon was the Best...

Steph is amazing!!! We looked at so many different locations for our honeymoon and Steph was patient with us the whole time, providing details about each place, prices, etc. It was wonderful to work with someone so knowledgeable, especially when we were so indecisive and looking for the perfect trip. Once we settled on Sun Palace, Cancun Steph was able to book it for us at a great price. She provided details about various excursions we might want to go...
