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.

I am still celebrating.....an amazing journey!

Sam's dedication and organizational skills made what seemed to be an impossible trip not only doable but one of my most memorable. A few days before my departure date, I broke my foot and ended up on crutches and an air cast for the next 6 weeks. Sam made sure essential assistance was available every step of the way.... even made last minute arrangements with a special spa retreat in a secluded village in Ethiopia! He is the best! Please...
