In addition to day passes, cabana rentals and other exclusive spaces are now available for reservation. Each rental includes access to the waterpark, ensuring a complete experience. The new attraction will officially welcome its first guests on Friday, 4th September 2026. On this day, Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, Norwegian Luna, will be the first to call at the transformed private destination.
A Premier Private Island Experience
Great Stirrup Cay is evolving as the premier private island destination in the Bahamas. The opening of Great Tides Waterpark on 4th September 2026 marks a significant milestone. With activities for families and every type of traveller, from high-energy slides to relaxing lagoon experiences, guests can purchase their day passes in advance. This ensures an unforgettable day on one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular private islands.
Flexible Pricing for Every Traveller
Pricing for waterpark admission and private rentals will vary. Norwegian Cruise Line has confirmed that rates depend on factors such as sailing dates, seasonal demand, holidays, and the number of ships visiting Great Stirrup Cay on a given day. This flexible pricing ensures options for every traveller.
Luxury Cabanas and New Attractions
While full specifications for the private cabanas are yet to be released, newly shared renderings offer a glimpse of the upscale experience guests can expect. The cabanas will accommodate up to six guests and feature shaded lounge seating, ceiling fans, and dedicated relaxation areas. Some are conveniently located near the park’s headline waterslides, while others offer views of the lazy river for a more tranquil experience.
Thrilling New Developments
The announcement of Great Tides Waterpark in July 2025 promised one of the largest expansions ever made to Great Stirrup Cay. At the heart of the development is the 170-foot Tidal Tower, launching several major slides. Among the most thrilling attractions are the Breakwater Blasters water coasters and the Whitewater Dash racing body slides. For competitive fun, guests can try the Rapid Mat Racers dual mat slides, while Tropic Storm and Tropic Spiral offer twisting enclosed slide experiences.
Unique Attractions for All Ages
One of the waterpark’s standout features will be Cliffside Cove, an industry-first attraction with 10-foot and 15-foot cliff jumps. Families travelling together will find attractions designed for all ages, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone. With so much to offer, Great Tides Waterpark is set to become a must-visit destination for UK cruise holidaygoers.
