Bacardi Global Travel Retail has teamed up with Norwegian Cruise Line to open a Bacardí Bar on Great Stirrup Cay, the Florida-based cruise line’s private island in the Bahamas.
Hailed as the first permanent Bacardí Bar location in the Caribbean, the new bar offers guests the opportunity to relax at a one-of-a-kind beach bar venue and experience Bacardí’s range of rums.
The Bacardí Bar on Great Stirrup Cay celebrated its grand opening last week during Norwegian Pearl‘s visit to the island. Guests sailing on board Norwegian Pearl attended the bar’s opening festivities, including a live DJ set, exhibitions by two of Bacardí’s top mixologists, drink samples, giveaways and a christening ceremony which involved a ceremonious Bacardí-bottle breaking.
“We are excited to announce the grand opening of the Bacardí Bar,” said Norwegian Cruise Line Chief Executive Officer Kevin Sheehan. “We are honoured to partner with Bacardi for the launch of our island’s newest bar. Bacardi’s rich history and quality beverage products are the perfect complement to our private island experience. We know that our guests are going to love spending time here during their visit to Great Stirrup Cay.”

Inspired by Bacardi’s 151-year history and Cuban heritage, Great Stirrup Cay’s Bacardí Bar and terrace feature the Bacardí Bat logo, original Bacardí advertising artwork and Cuban-inspired fixtures including specially-designed tiles and shutters.
Guests can choose from a menu of freshly made cocktails such as the Bacardí Cuba Libre and the Original Bacardí Mojito, on top of a host of other popular Bacardí Mojito creations.
The bar will also host exclusive events and entertainment, including live mixology, live DJs and a variety of interactive games each week.
“We have had a long, strong partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line and I am pleased that we were able to work together so closely to develop Great Stirrup Cay’s new Bacardí Bar,” said Bacardi Global Travel Retail Regional Manager Zachary Sulkes. “It is partners like Norwegian that allow Bacardi to continue to bring added value to the cruise industry. Norwegian’s private island offered an opportunity for Bacardi and Norwegian to give guests a new and unique experience, and we believe Norwegian’s guests will agree when they visit the island.”
Norwegian claims to be the first cruise line to offer an uninhabited tropical island experience exclusively for its guests. Its 250-acre private island offers white sand beaches, palms and pristine waters which are home to an abundance of marine life and coral reefs. Activities on the island include snorkeling; Waverunner tours; eco boat tours; kayaking; parasailing; and shopping at the straw market.
Guests sailing on board Norwegian Pearl, Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Sky all have the opportunity to experience the Bacardí Bar during their upcoming cruises to the Bahamas.
