CocoCay, Bahamas

Little Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of cays and small islands and is located approximately 55 miles north of Nassau. It is used for tourism by 

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd

 in an exclusive way.

The island is less than a mile (around one kilometer) wide from east to west and less than 200 yards (183 meters) from north to south. The east end is the center of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatee, rays, and numerous fish can be seen. There is a rocky inlet on the north side of the island large enough for the cruise ship tenders to operate from. Nature trails run the entire length and width of the island.

There is a rocky inlet on the north side of the island large enough for the cruise ship tenders to operate from. Nature trails run the entire length and width of the island.

Little Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruise Line's private island.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., which owns Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Cruises, assumed the lease of the island upon acquisition of Admiral Cruises and renamed it Coco Cay, one of the first cruise lines to lease islands for their exclusive use.

In May 2019, Royal Caribbean opened ​the Perfect Day at CocoCay after the $250 million transformation of the island. New amenities include a Thrill Waterpark, a wave pool, freshwater pool, zip lines, private cabanas, a helium balloon, and more, as well as a permanent dock for ships.
