Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has unveiled new images showcasing the first phase of enhancements to Great Stirrup Cay, its private island in the Bahamas. The upgrades include a 1.4-acre pool area with an expansive heated pool, a Splash Harbor splash pad for young guests, the adults-only Vibe Shore Club, and more.
With a new pier making it easier for guests to enjoy the island, the Great Life Lagoon, a 1.4-acre pool area, is designed for both relaxation and fun. With families in mind, the pool is larger than two Olympic-sized pools combined and features a beach-style entrance that leads to a splash area with fun water features for young guests, while adults can revel in the two swim-up bars. Surrounding the new pool are private cabanas. For those seeking an elevated experience, the new Vibe Shore Club is accessible by an all-day pass and offers an adults-only retreat with private cabanas and a private bar. Additional enhancements include Splash Harbor—a complimentary kids splash pad, a new Welcome Center and a convenient tram system.

“Great Stirrup Cay has always been a favorite for our guests, and these new enhancements make it even easier for guests to trade the winter weather for the warm tropics and enjoy an ‘Escape to the Great Life,'” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “With the fun versatility of Great Life Lagoon, and family-friendly spots like Splash Harbor, we’ve created an island where everyone can unwind, play and make lasting memories.”
Looking ahead, NCL will debut the Great Tides Waterpark in the summer of 2026. It will feature slides and attractions for guests of all ages. Anchored by 19 waterslides, the park will include Tidal Tower featuring eight waterslides, including its two tallest slides. Additional attractions at Tidal Tower include high-speed racing, spiraling tube slides and body slides. Select slides will incorporate conveyor belts to carry rafts to the top. Great Tides Waterpark will also feature a nearly 800-foot dynamic river, a 9,000-square-foot splash zone for kids, and Cliffside Cove featuring the industry’s first cliffside jumps, racer slides and more.
Meanwhile, NCL is poised to welcome over one million guests to its private island across 17 ships in 2026. This includes visits from its newest vessels, such as Norwegian Aqua, which offers seven-day Caribbean voyages from Miami and Orlando (Port Canaveral), Fla., now through October 2027, featuring calls to the Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and more. Joining Norwegian Aqua in the Caribbean will be the all-new Norwegian Luna which will debut in March 2026 and will sail seven-day Caribbean itineraries from April 2026 through October 2026, visiting the same stunning tropical destinations as her sister ship.
