Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. has just announced exciting enhancements coming to their private Bahamian island, Great Stirrup Cay! Several incredible upgrades are set to roll out in the fourth quarter of 2025, launching alongside the brand-new multi-ship pier, making it easier than ever for visitors to enjoy all that the island has to offer. With these developments, Great Stirrup Cay is gearing up to become a must-visit spot for cruise passengers around the globe; projected to welcome over one million guests in 2026!
These changes and enhancements will bring everything that guests love about Norwegian from the ship to the shore. NCL has become the go-to option for guests seeking a cruise experience that combines relaxation with excitement and vibrant energy. There is something for every age and vacationer, and these new GSC additions will enhance the experience for all NCL guests.
NEW AMENITIES & EXPERIENCES
WELCOME CENTER | The extensive list of new amenities includes the creation of a brand-new welcome center, starting off each guest experience with a bang.
NEW POOL SPACE | Norwegian has also announced a fun-for-all pool area that includes a swim-up bar, splash pad, and relaxing poolside cabanas to rent. This is sure to be the new go-to spot for families.
ISLAND TRAM | A new island-wide tram system will make exploration a breeze, allowing guests to skip the long walks and get right to the fun.
VIBE BEACH CLUB | One of the most popular adult-only spaces onboard many NCL ships is the Vibe Beach Club; so Norwegian's decision to bring this venue onto the island is a spectacular choice! This will be the chill space where 18+ can kick back and unwind in a peaceful setting.
HORIZON PARK | For guests looking for a more high-energy time on the island, Horizon Park is the perfect stop. This will be a new fun-filled space dedicated to recreation and lawn games; a place to enjoy the outdoors and a little friendly competition.
THE GREAT STIRRUP CAY EXPERIENCE
NCL's private island, Great Stirrup Cay is an adventurous and relaxing experience, and one of Norwegian's most popular destinations in the Caribbean. The island is part of the Berry Islands chain- a tropical paradise with lush green vegetation, white sandy beaches, and the crystal clear aqua waters that the Bahamas is so famous for. At GSC, you can book excursions from snorkeling to ziplining, or simply relax on the beach, soak in the sun, and enjoy the delicious island food.
THE SILVER COVE EXPERIENCE
In addition to the incredible new offerings, guests can also choose to upgrade their island experience by booking a villa at Silver Cove, the exclusive private day-resort on GSC. Silver Cove offers private villas, tropical beaches, delicious food, and the most incredible views of the turquoise blue waters. Access to Silver Cove includes access to the infinity pool, Silver Cove Lagoon, the exclusive restaurant with elevated buffet options, and the Moët & Chandon Bar overlooking the beach. The Mandara Spa is also located in Silver Cove, with a variety of treatment options as well as lounge spaces overlooking the ocean, and hot tubs tucked away in the trees.
