GREAT STIRRUP CAY,
BAHAMAS

This isn’t just another beach stop. It’s OUR island, and we brought the amps.

Welcome to Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s exclusive Bahamian escape and your personal playground during the 2026 Monsters of Rock Cruise. This private island paradise will become the star of your Monsters of Rock Cruise vacation as it has anything and everything you want.

Think warm turquoise waters, white-hot sand, and adrenaline-filled island adventures under the blazing sun.

Paradise? Sure. But 2026 is getting cranked up to an all-new level with new island upgrades that put Great Stirrup in a league of its own, making it the ultimate destination for any music festival cruise Bahamas adventure.

ISLAND HIGHLIGHTS TO EXPLORE

Roll In Like a Rockstar
