Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled a new exclusive oceanfront resort-style destination on the company's private island in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay, dubbed Silver Cove.
Silver Cove is being added as part of a series of enhancements being made to Norwegian's 270-acre tropical oasis, which already include private beach access, 38 beachfront villas, a Mandara Spa, a Moet Bar and the Silver Cove Restaurant and Bar.
Designers from Norwegian wanted to make the Villas at Silver Cove feel like the same experience available across the cruise line's 17-ship fleet, with air-conditioning, full bathrooms, daybeds, club chairs, TVs with on-demand entertainment and outdoor seating.
"We were the very first in the industry to have a private island, Great Stirrup Cay, offering our guests a chance to enjoy the very best of an exclusive island experience," Norwegian CEO Andy Stuart said in a statement.
"Today, we are providing our guests with a preview of how Great Stirrup Cay is evolving and showcasing our vision for the future with the unveiling of Silver Cove, our exclusive beachfront area," Stuart continued. "Similar to the last few ships we have debuted, we are committed to elevating the Norwegian Cruise Line experience, not only at sea, but also ashore. We are excited to have Norwegian Encore call here today for the first time!"
In addition, the Villas at Silver Cove include access to a private beach and the Silver Cove Restaurant and Bar, with six of the one-bedroom villas boasting a wet bar and a private master bedroom. There are also two-bedroom family suite villa options with a private dining area, entertainment area and a larger master bedroom with a spa tub and shower.
With over 1,500 feet of accessible beachfront, over 50 cabana and villa options, an array of shore excursions and nearly a dozen food and beverage options ashore, Great Stirrup Cay continues to be one of the highest guest-rated ports in the Caribbean.
