For those of us who love to relax on a Disney Cruise, today brings excellent news! Disney Cruise Line’s island destination at Lighthouse Point in The Bahamas will welcome Guests in Summer 2024. This one-of-a-kind destination is going to be a can’t-miss port for Disney Cruise enthusiasts!
Located on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas, the new Disney destination will celebrate its opening season in summer 2024. Disney worked closely with local artists and advisors to bring this area to life. The vibrant island retreat will be a unique celebration of Bahamian culture brought to life with the quality and service of a Disney vacation.
Uniquely Designed, Sustainably Developed
When Guests arrive, they will first notice the amazing architecture in both bright and saturated hues. This bold style was inspired by nature and created in partnership with local artists. Throughout the destination, references to playful folklore characters will evoke the warmth and charm of the local culture.
Respect for the environment is at the heart of the design. At least 90 percent of the destination’s electricity needs will be met by an onsite solar array! The pier was designed to avoid the need for dredging and elevated walkways will help limit impact on the landscape.
Fun and Relaxation for Everyone
At Lighthouse Point, opportunities for fun are endless! families will enjoy a day of fun in the sun as they relax on the beach, journey out on an active adventure, and discover the magic of The Bahamas alongside some favorite Disney characters. This new location will offer activities and areas for every age group.
Families can relax and play along white sandy beaches and turquoise waters at the expansive family beach on the east side of the island. This area will be centrally located near market-style dining, recreation and other amenities.
A Bahamian art and culture pavilion featuring special programs and local artists will provide visitors to Lighthouse Point opportunities to learn and celebrate the traditions and natural beauty of The Bahamas.
I think this next feature is what I am most excited about! A brightly-colored, interactive family water play area will include two slides, water drums, fountains and more, along with a dedicated space for toddlers. I absolutely love that there is a dedicated space for toddlers! I have an almost-three-year-old and this is something I have felt Disney Cruises have been missing in the past.
Children ages 3 to 12 will splash and play at a themed kids’ club under the care of highly-trained Disney Cruise Line counselors. It will include a splash pad inspired by favorite undersea creatures from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Little Mermaid,” plenty of shade and a dedicated dining area. This is another area that I cannot wait to check out! I think my son would love this and I love how he can hang out here while Mom and Dad check out the next feature of the island.
North of the family area will be an adult-exclusive beach with a dedicated dining area for convenient access to food and drinks throughout the day. This area will also feature six private cabanas available by reservation. These cabanas are going to go QUICK!
Finally, for families who want to stay together during the day, but still get a little privacy, this is the ultimate compromise. Set away from the activity of the main family area, a peaceful beach along the southwestern shore will be lined with 20 premium family cabanas available to rent, including four double cabanas that accommodate larger groups and offer massage services.
Additional recreational activities will be available for kids and kids-at-heart. These activities include a covered gaming pavilion; a volleyball court and gaga ball pit; watercraft and bicycle rentals; nature trails for hiking and biking; and more. Plus, new Port Adventures developed in partnership with local tour operators will take guests beyond Lighthouse Point. I absolutely love taking advantage of shore excursions during a Disney Cruise, so I cannot wait to see what adventures await!
Lighthouse Point will open for guests on select sailings in summer 2024.
