Activities

Here you can snooze in a hammock under a shady palm tree or learn to snorkel in a peaceful cove where tropical fish weave around equally colorful coral and sea fans. You can dance the limbo and enjoy a beachside barbecue, or circle the island in a kayak or sailboat. This is the life on NCL's Great Stirrup Cay.

Adventures

  • Snorkeling: Snorkeling instruction and equipment is available for 300 passengers.
  • Paddle Boats: Catamaran style with efficient paddle and view windows, which allows the passengers to see underwater.
