Great Tides Waterpark: 19-Slide Caribbean Thrill Deck

Plunge into the Caribbean's most dramatic private-island waterpark — 19 slides, a lazy river, cliff jumps, and splash zones set against an open-ocean Bahamian backdrop. Opening August 2026 aboard Norwegian Luna.

What to expect

From your first climb to the top of the tallest slide, the views alone justify the visit — a sweep of turquoise Bahamian water in every direction, with the ship anchored in the distance. Nineteen slides range from family-friendly flumes to heart-stopping speed runs, and the cliff jump platform offers an optional, gravity-defying punctuation mark to the day. The lazy river winds through the park for those who prefer their thrills horizontal, and splash zones keep younger travellers thoroughly entertained. It is a full day's entertainment contained in one spectacular aquatic venue.
