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.

Very Knowledgeable and Professional

We booked our Disney trip through Melanie and she did an amazing job. Right from the beginning where she provided valuable suggestions. It can be very overwhelming for someone to do all the coordination by themselves due to the endless options available. And Melanie is very knowledgeable and professional and organized. She made the trip hassle free so we can focus on enjoying the trip. We highly recommend using Melanie for your future trip.
