First Sailings
to Lighthouse Point
In June 2024,
Disney Cruise Line will debut its newest Bahamian destination on the island
of Eleuthera at Lighthouse Point. Guests sailing aboard the
Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will discover a vibrant beach
retreat designed with families in mind, infused with the color and energy of
Bahamian artistry, and developed with a commitment to conservation at its core.
A seven-night
inaugural sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral, Florida,
on June 8 will allow guests to be among the first to make a splash in
the crystal-clear waters of this new destination at Lighthouse Point. This
ultimate Disney Cruise Line island destination itinerary will feature two stops
at Lighthouse Point and one day at Castaway Cay. On June 6, a
three-night preview cruise on the Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale will
offer a sneak peek of Lighthouse Point with limited access to some
areas.
Following the
inaugural voyage, Lighthouse Point will be a featured port of call on
select three-, four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and Caribbean on
the Disney Magic out of Fort Lauderdale. These itineraries will vary stops
between Lighthouse Point and Castaway Cay, with five special
departures including both Disney Cruise Line island destinations.
New European
Destinations
Dreams will come to
life for Disney Cruise Line guests in summer 2024 as the Disney Dream returns
to premier European destinations in the Mediterranean, Greek Isles, British
Isles and popular locales in the Norwegian Fjords and Iceland.
These sailings will
feature a number of new ports of call, including Valencia, Spain;
Haugesund, Norway; and Hamburg, Germany, along with three
Mediterranean destinations that will return for the first time since 2014:
Catania, Italy; Kusadasi, Turkey; and Valletta, Malta.
Mediterranean and
Greek Isles cruises from Barcelona and Civitavecchia (Rome) will
range from five to 11 nights, while northern Europe and British Isles
sailings will offer itineraries anywhere from three nights to one 12-night
voyage that includes the Norwegian fjords, three days in Iceland and
an overnight stay in Reykjavik.
Adventures in Alaska
Cruises to Alaska from Vancouver,
Canada, will return on the Disney Wonder from May through September 2024,
offering more chances for families to experience the natural splendor and
adventure of "The Last Frontier" with five-, seven- and nine-night sailings.
Majestic wildlife and stunning scenery in iconic places like Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and
glacier viewing along the Stikine Icecap will blend with Disney's world-class
entertainment, dining and guest service to create a family-friendly vacation that
celebrates the spirit of Alaska both on land and on board.
Tropical Escapes to
The Bahamas and Caribbean from Port Canaveral
The Disney Fantasy
and Disney Wish will travel to sun-kissed islands throughout The Bahamas and Caribbean in
summer 2024. All sailings on these Port Canaveral-based ships will feature a
visit to Castaway Cay, a picturesque private island oasis in The Bahamas that
offers something for everyone in the family, from fun and relaxation to
adventurous water activities.
The Disney Wish will
feature three- and four-night Bahamian vacations, while the Disney Fantasy will
sail to popular ports in the eastern and western Caribbean on
seven-night cruises. One five-night Disney Fantasy voyage in July will take
families to Nassau with two stops in Castaway Cay, while a special
10-night southern Caribbean sailing will give families another
opportunity to visit Lighthouse Point with additional visits to the
islands of Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, Tortola and Castaway
Cay.
