Why Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay deserves a place on your travel wish list

For those looking to push themselves even further, Cliffside Cove introduces the industry's first cliff jumps on a cruise line private island, with guests able to leap from platforms up to 15 feet above the water. Families haven't been forgotten either. Splash Cay offers a colourful splash zone for younger guests, while The Wandering River takes lazy rivers to a whole new level, becoming the industry's first immersive river experience complete with caves, waterfalls, and interactive elements as you float through the island.

Delicious food with even better views

Days in the sunshine call for great food, and Great Stirrup Cay is introducing a fantastic selection of new dining options alongside its beautiful beaches.

Low Tide Smoke will serve slow-smoked barbecue favourites, including St. Louis-style pork riblets, chicken wings, and loaded nachos, while Catch of the Cay focuses on fresh seafood, from crispy shrimp rolls to chilled seafood baskets. For those with a sweet tooth, Tidal Treats promises handcrafted desserts, colourful bubble waffle sundaes, and tropical fish-shaped waffle cones that are sure to become one of the island's most photographed snacks. And because you're on holiday, there's no need to leave the water when you're ready for a drink. Floataway Bar sits in the heart of The Wandering River, while The Grotto Bar, tucked beneath The Great Slide, offers front-row views of the action as guests take on the island's dramatic cliff jumps.
