NORWEGIAN CRUISELINE
Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, and Harvest Caye, Belize
NCL was the first cruise company to snap up its own private island in 1977. The 250-acre Great Stirrup Cay, in the Bahamas, features an ocean boardwalk spanning the shoreline, a zipwire ride and an exclusive villa area, with an underwater snorkel garden. In 2016, NCL added Harvest Caye, near Belize, which oers ziplining, suspension bridges and freefall jumps. Eco-activities include tours to see manatees and tropical birds, and the Butterfly Garden. A seven-night Bahamas and Florida round-trip sailing from New York, departing 22 August, calls at Port Canaveral Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau. It costs from £2,022pp including flights (0333 241 2319; ncl.com).
