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.

Celebrity Edge

Going into our first cruise we had pretty high expectations and were blown away by not only the quality of the Celebrity Edge cruise but by the quality of service we experienced. Thank you for suggesting the aqua class, the access to the spa was definitely worth it! Everything from the food to the shows at night were better than we have experienced in 5 star resort on land. We like it so much that we have decided to book...
