Cruise News: Great Stirrup Cay Reveals its Newest & Boldest Waterpark Attraction

The Boldest Splash at Great Tides Waterpark

The nearly six-acre Great Tides Waterpark brings larger-than-life thrills, delectable island delights and ultimate relaxation ashore. Some of the exciting highlights to enjoy for both adults and kids alike include: 

• Tidal Tower – Soaring at 170-feet tall, the waterpark’s crown jewel boasts eight exhilarating, ocean-inspired waterslides. Highlights include the Breakaway Blasters, a never-seen-before dueling Master Blaster slides in the Caribbean that send riders up and down, and the Tropic Spiral, the world’s first Nautilus slide featuring massive and twisting spirals that spin riders in unpredictable directions.

• Cliffside Cove – This adventure hub is home to the Caribbean’s tallest cliff jumps at 10 and 15 feet high. Stand-out features include the Cliffside Leap, the first-ever cliff jump in cruise history yet, The Great Slide, the only family slide in the Caribbean that can host four guests together, and the Fearless Falls, which are shotgun racer slides that launch riders and drop them for a 5-feet splash.

• Wandering River – This dynamic over 800-feet-long river goes beyond the traditional slow-moving lazy river – it features an illuminated water tunnel with accelerated current, an attached wading pool and a swim-up bar, calling for an immersive, refreshing and fast-paced glide. 

• Splash Cay – At the heart of the waterpark lies this 9,000-square-foot water wonderland for nonstop family fun, complete with mini-slides and interactive water features like spray fountains and splash zones.
