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.

Great last minute find!

I have always booked my own trips online and have always considered myself a savvy travel planner. I truly used to think that I had access to all of the same info, deals etc, as any travel agent would. However, I was wrong!  Susan found me a deal that was $600 less than anything I could find online.  Not only that, but the resort was fabulous, flight times were perfect and all the details were handled and organised up front...
