The new Great Stirrup Cay pier has welcomed a double call for the first time this past weekend, according to Norwegian Cruise Line.
The company celebrated the milestone in a social media update, noting that the operation marked a first in its history.
Spending its first summer in the Caribbean, the Norwegian Prima was joined by the Norwegian Getaway for the double call.
Sailing from PortMiami, the Getaway was offering a three-night weekend cruise to the Bahamas that also featured a visit to Nassau.
The Prima visited Great Stirrup Cay as part of a seven-night itinerary that departed from Port Canaveral earlier this month.
In addition to the private island in the Bahamas, the cruise also featured visits to destinations in Puerto Plata, Tortola and St. Thomas.
Built as part of a series of improvements taking place in Great Stirrup Cay, the new pier opened in August 2026.
Earlier this month, Norwegian also marked the opening of the new Great Tides Waterpark at the private island.
The park is also part of the destination’s enhancement project and offers 19 waterslides, in addition to an 800-foot-long dynamic river and a series of other water features.
Other new features of the island include Horizon Park, which offers attractions such as lawn-style games and pickleball courts, and Hammock Bay, which provides over 50 hammocks.
Following the first double call, Great Stirrup Cay is set to welcome two ships at the same time on multiple occasions through 2026.
Cruise Industry News spotted 30 additional double calls scheduled for the destination through the end of the year, most during the 2026-27 winter season.
In one of the busiest days of the year, the private destination is scheduled to welcome nearly 8,500 passengers with the Norwegian Epic and the Norwegian Getaway.
The double call is scheduled for December 21, 2026, with the ships offering weeklong cruises from ports in Florida.
