Disney Cruise Line has already published its itineraries and programs for the 2024 season, offering the opportunity to travel and enjoy the Mediterranean coast, the landscapes of the Nordic countries, Alaska, or the incredible sand of the Caribbean beaches, with the magic of Disney for the whole family.
This cruise line offers complete vacations visiting incredible destinations combined with high-level family entertainment, including Disney musicals, enjoying special moments with Disney characters, joining kids' and teens' clubs, but they also think about adults who can take advantage of exclusive areas just for them.
New for 2024
The main attraction for the 2024 summer season is the new destination of Lighthouse Point, an island destination where guests can enjoy the beauty and culture of the Bahamas with all the amenities of Disney. It can be visited on 3, 4, and 5-night cruises and is located at the southern tip of Eleuthera Island, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the turquoise waters of the Bahamas. Lighthouse Point will open in the summer of 2024.
This Caribbean paradise boasts vibrant recreational and water areas, filled with color, music, and a festive spirit, including the Bahamian Junkanoo street parade. It also offers visitors an arts and culture pavilion featuring local artists, white-sand beaches, adventure excursions organized by local operators, a water play area, a ball pit, and activities for children of all ages.
It is important to note that there are also getaways for adults, as this destination has exclusive beaches for them, three bars to enjoy refreshing drinks and island-style snacks, and even private beach cabanas to spend the day.
Disney Cruise Line will offer this destination for the first time aboard the Disney Fantasy on its June 8, 2024, departure. In addition, during the summer 2024 season, Disney Cruise Line offers many other itineraries, including cultural destinations in Europe, the wilds of Alaska, and the tropical islands of the Caribbean, among others.
