| Bacardi Rum Bar on Norwegian Cruise Line's Private Island - Great Stirrup Cay. |
Norwegian Cruise Line
announced today that the Bacardi Bar, a first of its kind rum bar,
opened yesterday on Great Stirrup Cay, the line’s private island in the
Bahamas. The Bacardi Bar on Great Stirrup Cay offers guests the
opportunity to relax at a spectacular beach bar venue and experience
Bacardi’s range of exceptional rums at the beverage company’s first
permanent Bacardi Bar location in the Caribbean.
The
Bacardi Bar on Great Stirrup Cay celebrated its grand opening yesterday
during Norwegian Pearl’s visit to the island. Guests sailing on board
Norwegian Pearl attended the bar’s opening festivities, which featured a
live DJ set, exhibitions by two of Bacardi’s top mixologists, drink
samples, giveaways and an exciting christening ceremony which featured a
ceremonious Bacardi-bottle breaking.
“We
are excited to announce the grand opening of the Bacardi Bar,” said
Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian’s chief executive officer. “We are honored 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 rich 150 year history and distinct Cuban heritage, Great
Stirrup Cay’s Bacardi Bar and terrace feature the iconic Bacardi Bat
logo, original Bacardi advertising artwork and Cuban-inspired fixtures
including specially-designed tiles and shutters. Guests who visit the
Bacardi Bar during their time on the island can experience some of
Bacardi’s superior craft rums through superb freshly made cocktails such
as the Cuba Libre and the Original Bacardi Mojito. In addition, the
Bacardi Bar will feature a flight of Mojitos so that guests can sample
some of Bacardi’s most popular Mojito creations.
"We
have had a long, strong partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line I and am
pleased that we were able to work together so closely to develop Great
Stirrup Cay’s new Bacardi Bar,” said Zachary Sulkes, Bacardi Global
Travel Retail Regional Manager. “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.”
In
addition to the wide range of specialty cocktails that are offered at
the Bacardi Bar, guests who visit the bar each week will have a chance
to experience exclusive events and entertainment, including live
mixology, live DJ’s and a variety of interactive games.
