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.
Irene has provided us with several memorable and exciting vacations throughout the years. She has a great deal of experience and can provide a wide range of information about various destinations. Irene takes time to carefully look for vacations that fit your criteria and that she feels will be enjoyable for you. Each time we've taken a vacation that Irene has planned, it has been exceptional all-around, and is somewhere we would love to return to again. Each time we return back, we are quick to share how much fun we had on our trip and are back to ask Irene to help with another vacation shortly after. Most recently, we took a trip to Mexico in which we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our vacation package. It was another wonderful getaway! Thanks Irene for all of your help!
