Great Stirrup Cay, The Bahamas
Coastal Systems was retained by Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) to provide a design/build approach for improvements to the private island cruise ship destination on Great Stirrup Cay in the Berry Islands of the Bahamas. NCL is recognized as an innovator in on-board and onshore programming, and a pioneer of cruise industry "firsts" including an uninhabited "out island" experience at Great Stirrup Cay. NCL’s improvements to the 270-acres at Great Stirrup Cay will transform the island into a world class Bahamian experience for cruise ship passengers.
Coastal Systems provided a design/build approach to fast track the destination improvements with the following services:
- Master Planning

In 2009 construction of the initial project improvements commenced incorporating the design/build approach to include 26 new buildings and a new tender basin to be completed at the end of 2010.
