I'm excited to announce the grand opening of Great Tides Waterpark on Norwegian's private island, Great Stirrup Cay, in the Bahamas. The waterpark will officially open on September 4, 2026, and day passes are available for purchase now.

Great Tides Waterpark features 19 exhilarating waterslides, including 11 main attractions and 8 kid-friendly slides. Spanning nearly six acres, the park is divided into distinct zones: Tidal Tower, Cliffside Cove, Wandering River and Splash Cay. Experience next-level adventure with 10- to 15-foot cliff jumps, get your adrenaline pumping with a race down The Great Slide, and brave the drops and uphill blasts of Breakwater Blasters. Or unwind as you float along the 828-foot Wandering River, complete with a swim-up bar and an immersive multimedia tunnel. Kids can explore the vibrant family zone, and there are private cabanas for rent that can accommodate up to six guests.

Great Stirrup Cay also includes the new Great Life Lagoon (an expansive area with a heated pool and two swim-up bars) and Splash Harbor, a fun-filled space designed for kids, along with other exclusive island attractions.

To protect from financial loss in the event of an emergency, Vacations To Go strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance with every cruise. Cruise lines impose penalties for canceling or changing a reservation, up to and including the loss of the entire cruise price. Cruise lines are very strict about their cancellation policies and do not make exceptions, even under extreme circumstances.

It also is possible for illness or injury to occur during a cruise, resulting in medical bills from the ship's infirmary and/or the early termination of the trip. Most traditional health insurance policies do not cover cruise passengers traveling abroad.

The Go Plan offered by our preferred independent insurance provider, Generali Global Assistance, covers you for trip cancellation and trip interruption due to a variety of reasons, such as a covered illness, an injury, the death of you or a family member or a traveling companion, delayed flights due to inclement weather and the documented theft of passports or visas.

When you are ready to book a cruise, our cruise counselors will explain the insurance options that are available for your trip and answer any questions you may have.

For more information about the Go Plan and its coverage, click here.



Along with oceangoing cruises, Vacations To Go also offers the world's largest selection of river cruises in Europe, the U.S. and other destinations. (We have an incredible assortment of guided tours and all-inclusive resorts as well.)

On a river cruise, you'll enjoy scenic views while sailing on a beautifully appointed ship to cities and towns along the river. The upfront price of the trip is highly inclusive, covering accommodations, meals and beverages, guided excursions and more. Complimentary beer and wine are often provided with lunch and dinner, and some companies offer all alcoholic beverages served at any time at no additional cost.
