Bahamas Escape – Great Stirrup Cay
About this cruise
If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Tampa on January 28, 2027, visiting Great Stirrup Cay. With 2 sea days versus 1 in port, the ocean is a big part of this trip. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Great Stirrup Cay: A private Bahamian escape. Norwegian Gem keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. A strong pick for first-timers. Not too long, not too short, and you get a taste of the routine. If you can, add a night in Tampa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. 1 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
