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.
We approached Trip Designs with a plan to travel to four European countries that required a quite extensive itinerary – connecting flights to several European destinations, hotel reservations for all destinations and transportation. And Trip Designs made it all happen. Everything ran like clockwork, even when one flight was changed. They made all the necessary arrangements to keep our vacation time on track. They even secured coach class seats with more legroom than most passengers. With this kind of outstanding customer service, efficiency and professionalism, we will use them for all our travel needs - forever!
