It is an exciting time for Disney Cruise Line. After the debut of their newest ship, the Disney Wish, Disney has not stopped with the exciting news for their cruise industry.

Earlier this month, Disney Cruise Line announced the opening date for their one-of-a-kind island destination at Lighthouse Point, located on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas. Lighthouse Point will be exclusive to Disney Cruise Line guests and it is scheduled to welcome guests in June 2024.

A seven-night inaugural cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral, Florida on June 8 will allow you 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 not one, but two stops at Lighthouse Point. Guests can also enjoy one day on Castaway Cay too!

On June 6, a three-night preview cruise on the Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale will feature a sneak peek of Lighthouse Point with limited access to some areas.

After the Inaugural Cruise, if you want to visit Lighthouse Point, it will be a featured stop on select three-, four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and Caribbean on the Disney Magic out of Fort Lauderdale.
