Norwegian Cruise Line revealed that the Great Tides Waterpark at Great Stirrup Cay, the company’s private island in the Bahamas, will open on September 4, 2026.
The grand opening will take place during the Norwegian Luna’s seven-day Caribbean sailing departing from Miami on August 29, 2026, according to a statement.
Starting May 28, all guests sailing to Great Stirrup Cay on or after the opening date will be able to purchase day passes to Great Tides Waterpark and reserve private cabanas for up to six guests.
“Great Stirrup Cay continues to evolve as the premier private island destination in the Bahamas, and we’re excited to officially open Great Tides Waterpark on Sept. 4, 2026,” said Marc Kazlauskas, president of Norwegian Cruise Line.
“With the best activities for families and for every type of traveler—from high-energy slides to laid-back lagoon experiences—guests can purchase their day passes ahead and lock in an unforgettable day on the most spectacular private island in the Caribbean beginning tomorrow.”
Spanning nearly six acres and boasting 19 waterslides, the waterpark will feature a 170-foot Tidal Tower, featuring high-speed racing slides, tube slides and body slides.
There will also be a 9,000-square-foot kids’ zone and an over 800-foot river.
This follows other recent enhancements at Great Stirrup Cay, which included a 1.4-acre pool area and bars.
