En el archipiélago de las Bahamas, donde el mar Caribe ha sido durante siglos escenario de travesías y descubrimientos, Norwegian Cruise Line transforma su isla privada Great Stirrup Cay en un destino de ocio a gran escala. El 4 de septiembre de 2026, el parque acuático Great Tides abrirá sus puertas con 19 toboganes, atracciones inéditas en la industria y espacios para todas las edades, consolidando la tendencia de las navieras a construir mundos propios más allá del barco. Es la apuesta de una empresa por redefinir qué significa llegar a puerto.

Real estate and island development
Cruise passengers gain premium amenities justifying higher ticket prices; families benefit from expanded on-island activities; increased pricing power for NCL day passes and private cabanas; potential crowding on popular cruise dates.
Bahamas may see increased tourism revenue and employment; potential environmental review requirements for large-scale island development; possible labor agreements for seasonal waterpark staffing; regulatory oversight of private island operations and safety standards.
